truncus [Re: Androphobia sucks]

It seems that also in Albanian those words have their traces:
<trup> 'substance, matter; body of the tree, of the man, of the
animals' < Sl. truplo, and trung 'trunk, log' < Lat. truncus.
Albanian, it is very interesting, according to my view, has its word
for <trunk>, for something truncated, <cung> 'tree stamp; stub' from
zero-grade nasalized form of PIE *sek- 'to cut'; *sunk > cung.
