It’s great the Jonathan has pointed out the “point out” aspect most easily seen in “indicate”, as this is the path which most clearly leads to Greek δείκνυμι (I show) > English “paradigm” and “token” and also > German zeigen, and Greek δίκη (custom, usage, justice, etc) > English “theodicy”, “Eurydice”. There’s also the Spanish decire, dicho.
A broad and fascinating word group; thanks for the study, Jonathan.
