it is feelt as "autochtoneus" but, regardless its origin, this does not say
anything since everyone feels such words as "autochtoneus" if the words are
very old into language. Do you think any German thinks that "mauer" is a
Latin word? No, if one asks, every native speaker will sustain strongly and
of course eroneusly, that is an "urdeutsches" word.
