That's really interesting. Another English word that came from Irish. Up North (of England) they have Barm Cakes which are not cakes at all. It is some kind of round bread roll filled with salad/ham/cheese etc. so 'loaf' would fit there. Not sure why they are cakes though. Barm from “bairín” (loaf)? That’s really interesting.
