There are thousands of animals and plants, and there are some six hundred PIE roots. Also, I haven't found any source for these words, among others: sock, jacket, coat, glove, boot, shoe, leggings, pants, skirts, etc. And you used "concatenation" in a sentence. Triple word score. I'm getting silly now. I should go.
