Origin of Legion

[Dan Diffendale]

let me just say that Latin words do not have Sanskrit roots... Latin, Sanskrit, Greek and English, among others, have <em>Proto-Indo European</em> roots... and the PIE roots of <em>miles</em> and <em>mille</em> are not clear...<br>
<br>
As regards Greek <em>homilos</em>, it's a formation from <em>homos</em> meaning "same" and <em>ile</em> meaning "group", so it's not related to the Latin words under discussion. <p></p><i></i>
