How intriguing. Is there a link between Greek and Japanese I wonder- it seems unlikely and yet who knows?
I know--or at least, I should. I used to be a professor of Japanese, specializing in the history of the language. And no, the only relationship is that they both reside in my gray matter.
Then suddenly- while I was concentrating on typing my command to Google, the fog lifted and there was my word- whole and entire.
I like this description of the process. i write for a living now, and I am far too familiar with it!
