Since I began analyzing the symbolism of very old and important words in every language about 30 years ago, I'd like to summarize one example.
The Latin word *phallus refers to a symbolic image or likeness of the male sexual organ, representing themes of fertility and creation. Although it's sometimes used to denote the male sexual organ itself, its primary significance lies in its symbolic function rather than its anatomical reality.
However, the origin of this symbolic concept remains unclear. From which primordial language does it stem? What common symbolism exists between "babo" (father), creator, phallus, filius, seed, and God across Proto-Indo-European (PIE) languages? Despite their differing forms and phonetic representations, these words share a semantic meaning related to creation and generation with an primordial root such as "bha" or "bhi".

Their forms and phonetic representations are quite different from one another as words, which makes them challenging to compare using the method of finding the origin of words known as etymology, or any other method claiming to trace word origins. However, they share the same symbolic meaning, "ba" (to do, to make) and "ba" (to make the beginning of a thing), metaphorized in nouns with an active or pasiv meaning.
The root of this symbol likely lies in a verb representing the transition from non-existence to existence. The ancient verb "ba" (to do, to make) in the Gheg Albanian language, with its active and passive meanings, and the symbols "I" and "A" as markers of beginning, support this idea.
