You have defined them. I already know the definitions. I am looking for reasons for their definitions. In many cases, words develop from other words. To be fair, I changed the question and gave you 1+.

eh = ohnehin. That is a good start. I am looking for more information. Why is it ohnehin? How does one come from ohnehin > eh? To be fair, I changed the question and gave you 1+.

Yes, I did not know what other tags to use. Etymology came to mind, because I am implicitly asking for the origin of the word eh and explicitly asking whether it is related to eher

You are correct, looper, sprachbegabt refers a "gift in languages". I will make my answer more specific to clarify this. However, I would still argue that if you speak many languages that you are sprachbegabt whether or not you wish to be.
