Welcome to the new Word Game

Introduction
Hey everyone! After posting many times in the various word game threads, I found that they are not really a challenge. I thought it would be more fun if it were a bit harder and if we could learn something from it as well.
That is why I came up with the idea for a combination of the existing word games.

The rules

All words start with the last letter of the preceding word.
Each word is associated with the preceding word.
Each word is in another language than the preceding word. Add the name of the language used in parentheses.
If possible, try and provide a Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org) / Dict.org (http://www.dict.org) link to the meaning of the word or concept. But this is not mandatory. Try and do it for the complicated words.
If you post a word in another language than English, provide the English word as well. The English word then does not have to start with the last letter of the preceding word. It will be fun to learn words in other languages.


Example
It is all much easier if you see it in an example, so, here goes:


Person 1 :
Apple (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple) (English)

Person 2:
Eten (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Food) (Dutch, means: food)

Person 3:
Nice (English)

Person 4:
Esposa (Spanish, means: wife)

I hope it turns out to be a fun, not too hard game. My first word for you all is:

Esposa (Spanish, means: wife)

Rui Pais:

The word you supplied does not start with an 'a' (the last letter of "esposa"). And how is knife related to wife? Because it rhymes? But okay, I will continue with your word:

Arrow (http://www.dict.org/bin/Dict?Form=Dict2&Database=gcide&Query=arrow) (English)

sorry don't read the part of matching letters, thought it was just association (it came to my mind from a bad Portuguese joke)
I corrected and play again then:

wolf (English, German, Dutch)

Bjarke, does "stol" mean chair? If so, how is it related to fangs?
