    I've found one very common word in Catalan that probably came directly from Germanic: estona, means "while, little time". In modern German you can find Stunde "hour". In the other Romance languages, the word seems to come from Latin: tempinho in Portuguese, rato in Spanish, moment in French, momento/po di tempo in Italian, etc.
    In standard italian can be: momento, attimo, istante, poco tempo (as you wrote) and "come un soffio" (literally: like a whisper).
