> > Don't you find curious that just the noun snake is inherited but no
another word like: serpenti-gena, serpenti-pes, serpirastra, serpo,
serpullum?
(a) serpullum is not related.
(b) Serpenti-gena and serpenti-pes are one-off coinages, and hardly the sort
of thing we would expect to survive anyway. How often is there a need to
say "serpent-footed" in a real world?
(c) Someone asked about other forms of this root - the repo word is related.
