Ask how several words are related. *SET-U computes pairwise shortest paths, then builds a compact spanning forest from cited lexical edges. A shared person or text may bridge islands, but it is never mislabeled as ancestry.
Distinct forms in the spanning evidence network.

attestedἐτεός
in accordance with truth; true; really
inheritance
A possessive true-order adjective yields the attested senses true and really.
SOUND + EVIDENCE
The proposed path from *set-eu-o- to Greek ἐτεός includes loss of the inherited initial sibilant; Gális discusses psilosis and only tentatively raises contact as an explanation.

WHAT THIS VIEW PROVES
COMPACT DOES NOT MEAN CERTAIN
Every resolved pair is searched through the undirected reviewed graph, bounded at 12 edges.
Cited ancestry, borrowing, derivation, and semantic continuation paths are preferred over historical-context bridges.
The shortest available pair paths are greedily selected until each connectable word belongs to one network.
This is a compact evidence view, not a claim that scholarship has one uniquely minimal family tree.
