Miguel, I just begun to search my bad dictionary ( there are by far not
all the words how I cuold see).
I just looked a bit and I found an another one:

Latin :"densus"
Greek : dasos
Romanian : des

This got me indeed curious now, I will search for more.It seems I have
to take a credit for an ethymologic dictionary of Latin.
Anyone has one to sell? ( I am just half joking now )
