and typing "cause" in the search box. I got back 37 responses,
including not only /causa/, /infero/, /propter/ and suchlike, but
also many words that are only distantly connected to the idea of
"cause" ... but still not including /cogo/ (the root of /cogitur/).
If Uncle Ike had wanted to talk about "cause", he could have done

At the same URL, submit the word "cogo" and you will get:
"
a.. cogo : coegi, coactum : to bring together, drive, draw.
a.. cogo : to compel, restrict, confine.
a.. cogo : to to force, compel, compress.
