You should learn at least to write a text. The "=" sign doesn't
mean anything. The meaning of a word is usually written as `body`,
with no other specifications.

... which is an _obvious_ composed word meaning `to get a body`,
just like "înnegri" (`to get black`), "înaspri" (`to get harsh`),
"îmbogati" (`to get rich`), etc.

Nonsense.

There is no relationship between these two words.

That's the original meaning. In OCS and modern Slavic languages,
"trup" means simply `body` (Russian, Serbian, etc.).

Greek word means `human (being)`, not `body`.
