M-N- Inversions — Name, Anima, Numitor

“Eventually, I even noticed that this M-N- sound inverts into ‘Name,’ Anima, Animal, Animate, Anim (‘Name’ in Irish), Numitor (Romulus and Remus’s grandfather) and Numa (Romulus’s successor as a founder of Roman culture). Inverting sounds is not just common in contemporary French slang form of Verlan, as a phenomenon, it’s immanent in all Indo-European languages!”

The M-N inversion discovery: M-N becomes N-M in name, anima, Numitor. The Verlan (French slang reversal) parallel is clever. Extends the M-N- field dramatically.
