duo hominēs (two people)

[edit] Etymology

From Old Latin hemō, from Proto-Indo-European *dʰǵʰm̥mō (earthling). Cognates include Old Lithuanian žmuõ (man) and Gothic 𐌲𐌿𐌼𐌰 (guma).

Cf. also nēmō (no one) < *ne hemō. PIE *dʰǵʰm̥mon- is a derivative of *dʰéǵʰōm (earth), whence also Latin humus. Thus, same PIE root gave both the nouns for man and earth; compare similar semasiological development in Semitic languages: Hebrew אָדָם (adam), man; soil).
