There's also the fact that in Finnish it's properly ihmissyöjä (personeater or some such). Kannibaali is quite used loan word but we do have our own.

Same thing in polish. We have "ludożerca" (peopleeater) but loan word "kanibal" is used too.

Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

I'm open-source; check me out at GitHub.

ihmissyöjä sounds suspiciously like "i miss you" 🤔

It's the same in Russian. "Людоед" which is literally "people-eater" is the more common word.
