"compleCtez" is a fiction. Although so many people say
"compleCtez", this word is... fictitious.

But are you aware of the fact that "de$tept" is actually a
variant of the participle "de$teptat"?

>So we will have a pseudo-root "Stepta" where "ta" is a sufix.

There you have "specta" that, metathesized, turns "$tepta".

Only as "frig", plural "friguri /fri-gurj/. The adj.

frige-re is to roast, burn. frigus, frigoris is cold. Two
different words already in Latin.

>the same as in freezing" so , they used frige for " to burn
>himself" and deger or inghetz ( from gheatza= eis= cf DEX from
>latinn glacia)

Well, seen this way, ...a chilblain (Frostbeule; degeratura) really
gives one a... burning impression.

What? Those verbs I had mentioned aren't substrat ones, but
Latin? Amazing! :)
