The Ws like gillyflower (левкой), sparrow-grass (спаржа) are not CWs, they are cases of false-etymology of a borrowed W: gillyflower from OFr giroflé, crayfish (рак) from OFr crevice, & sparrow-grass from Latin asparagus. May-day is an international radio signal, a call for help from a ship / plane, a distortion of the French m'aidez ‘help me’.
