Yonah, you can't see this clearly in Latin because the fusion actually
took place much earlier. If you look back at reconstructed
Proto-Indo-European, see the examples I gave earlier, the
correspondences are much more clear. Despite what Uri wrote, that "this
is the realm of sheer speculation", this is in fact as clearly
demonstrated as anything can be from the remote past. This is how
language works, even if you have to look a bit beyond Latin 101 to see it.
