Three words ending in -sul:

praesul,  foredancer (prae + sali:re)
exsul,  exiled, 'out of his ground' (ex + solum?) or 'having jumped
out', 'derailed' (exsili:re?)
con-sul or cons-ul (con-sulere or cens-e:re?)

NB1: exsili:re and consulere form the same intensiva: exsulta:re and
consulta:re.
A mere phonetic coincidence? Is consulere simply a denominative of
consul?

NB2: the senators having 'jumped' to the same conclusion was called
Sena:tu:s consultum.

Is it possible that in archaic times there was some  sort of ritual
dance (or rather procession) making the ceremonial ambiance of
Senate meetings lead by the rex?
In times of the duumvirate there was perhaps a reminiscence of this
archaic ritual praesul opening (or concluding) the meeting, now
performed jointly by two collegues?

Any reactions to this wild scenario?
