I just realized that I have already uncovered another compound word in
IndoTyrrhenian that curiously follows the same opposite order of that in
English. For instance *k:al-axwa "female-in-law" consisting of *axwa
"brother" and *k:al-, presumably "woman". Strange, come to think of it.

Hmm... say, Piotr? What can you tell me about a language that does this sort
of compounding?
