Europic

Root (Basic)

√ gedj

1. tragedy

   This seems to have been a little joke on Chrysanthi’s part: the words tragedy and comedy have been reanalyzed as classical compounds with the prefixes tra- ‘tra-, through’ and com- ‘me-, with’. The remaining roots were then expanded to create additional words like medja ‘funny’.
