1. *dn.g’hWa:/*dn.g’u: ‘tongue’. Because for the first sequence we

sequence –g’hWa: (Skt jihva:, av hivza, Arm lezu, Gen lezvi: Old
Lating dingua, Lat lingua, OHD zunga: OCS jezy-k&: Toch A käntu, Toch
B käntwo etc.) was treated like –ghW and have yilded Alb –h.

Latin 'lingua' can be easily explained because it comes from the basis
BEL-GON; i.e. 'li-gon', PIE *lak- (...)

Don't let the fact that it was originally 'dingua' with an initial
dental (cognate with 'tongue') get in the way.

Interesting question, indeed…
I do not think that 'lingua' originated from O.Latin 'dungua';
especally if we know that the word 'lingua' is clearly connected to
Latin 'lingo' (lick).
What really happened here? ;-))
On this example, I would try to demonstrate the way in which similar
problems could be treated.
1. Compare Latin 'tingo' (tingere, tinxi, tinctus - moisten, soak,
wet, dip, tinge, dye, stain, imbue) with 'lingo' (lingere, linxi,
linctus - lick)
2. Are the words 'tingo' and 'dingua' related or not?
3. Serbian word 'tok' has a few meanings: process, flow, stream,
tide, lapse, tenor; it is connected to the movement of water (river
stream) as well as for the motion (stream) of human thoughts. Serbian
'tečenje', 'teći', 'teknuti' (pour, flow, stream), 'taknuti' (touch),
'is-taknuti' (to stress, emphasize)
4. English words 'tell', 'talk' and 'tale' and the Serbian syntagm
"reči (misli) su TEKLE kao reka" (the words /thoughts/ were running as
water /river/).
5. What would you say about Russian толковать (tolko-vatь interpret)
and its realation with the English 'talk'?
6. I am sure you would be suprised whan I say thatArabicword for
speech sounds almost the same as English 'talk', Russian 'tolkovat'
and Serbian 'reči su TEKLE' -Arabic'takallama'; Serb. 'is-takli, -o.

arabic takallama is derivative with a t- prefix so it cannot be
related to those words.

-a' (emphasized, put up, accentuated), 'dotaknuti', 'dotaći' i.e.,
taknuti, taći (touch a certain subject; Serb. taći = Eng. touch). Do
you think that all these examples are the results of chance
resemblance? May be it was, as it was in case of Hebrew words
'lokak' (lick;Arabic'leku') 'lashon' (tongue;Arabic'lisan')...

I think here we have enough elements for one fruitful (not fruitcake!)
discourse. Would you and could you present your opinion? Of course,
anyone's constructive discussion is welcome ;-)

DV-

I am not expert in Arabic and I suppose you are right here.
Nonetheless, tell me is not possible that 'kalima' (word, talk) was a
contraction from 'takalam' (mu-ta-ka-lim speaker => muta‘allim
educated; kalima > 'alima; tachayyul imagination /I think from Hin.
'takhaiyul'/; takallafa (take over, assume - kallafa)?
