On: Ancient Roman soldier carved a phallus with a personal insult in this stone

Dam , here in Turkey "kaka" [caca] literally means "poop" or "to poop". How odd.

[kgeist → kwonkicker]

Kaka means poop in many unrelated languages. It's baby talk: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baby_talk

Another example is "to eat" or "tasty": English yum, Russian nyam etc.

[xeromal → kwonkicker]

Lots of baby words are shared amongst languages even if they're not related. The most obvious one I see are the variations of baba, papa, dada, etc for dad.

My iraqi friends say baba and arabic is certainly not originated from latin.

[robonerd → xeromal]

There are certainly some Latin loan words in Arabic; that part of the world was well within the Roman sphere of influence for a long time. For instance: the Arabic ṣirāṭ and English street both come from the Latin word strata.

[xeromal → robonerd]

Oh, I'm sure that. I just meant as a root language I don't believe they share a common ancestor

[geuis → kwonkicker]

Similar root words somewhere in the past. Caca in Spanish means the same thing.

[schoen → geuis]

But the oddity is that Turkish isn't related to the Romance languages.

[Tagbert → schoen]

No, but several of the earlier languages in Anatolia did have Into-European roots as did some of the surrounding languages, such as Persian. It could easily be a loan word.

*kakka- also kaka-, Proto-Indo-European root meaning "to defecate." According to Watkins, "imitative of glottal closure during defecation."
