But while mama or parinte are Romance, maica, tata/taica look Slavic to me. Of course you are right statistically.

Another typology might be: the Latin words are related to the personal /
family / nature / religious domain (bodily parts: eye, hand, head, nose;
close relatives: mother, fother, sister, natural phenomena: sky, light,
clouds, fields; religious terms: God, cross), while the Slavic ones with the
social structure / relational domain (social ierarchy, tools).
