Is there a possibility that both languages Latin and ancient Greek formed their multi-syllable words by combining single-syllable words of an older language?
There is also a language located right between them for 3000 years that enigmatically survived. It is called Albanian language.
And, an famous Albanian linguists wrote that *kemba is borrowed from the Latin "gamba. He was the first linguists writing a book about the borrowings of the Albanian language from Latin, a lot of words. After he wrote the book he became very famous in Europe. He was nobody before that.
Kemba /leg is a e compound word, where neither *ke/that or *mba/suports is subordinate to each other.
The entire compound brings a new meaning, a new word. Ke/that and mba/support are not similar, not related and not opposite to each other. They are not also subordinating compounds or modify each other. They are not also verb-object type. The entire compound brings a new meaning, a new word.
What is the scientific definition of *leg:
The legs are the two lower limbs of the body used to support the body and a range of movements.
So, legs support the body. It is also the movement concept which is missing in the *kemba word formation, but strangely tha concept movement is in the English word *leg which will be explained in the next article
The word for leg in Albanian language means "that supports"
The word *kemba shows the mother of the Latin and Greek word, not the opposite.
