Which "semantism"? <trup> meaning 'body, corpus'? You can find that even in
Old Church Slavic. In Serbian, <trup> means 'trunk' (in the anatomical
sense), and that's close enough to 'body'.

> I hope you won't argue with the old arguemntum " it was in a South Slavic

If I had to, I'd feel free to argue like that. There were some early Slavic
dialects that died out, you know. Not necessarily "South Slavic" in the
linguistic sense of tne term, even if geographically southern.

> It is hard to belive that rom & Alb got it from Kashubian or Polish.

If they had, they'd have borrowed the meaning 'carcass'. I'm not going to
discuss it any more if all you can do is set up an army of straw men.
