The key question we need to know is whether the other Paleoeuropean languages were constructed by Basque monks.

Would “horsepower” fit or is that technically a scientific term? (Then again, people do say, for instance, “There’s X horses under the hood…”) Not really - it's a simile rather than a metaphor. Then again, I don't think any real horses can actually output one horsepower. According the OED a similie...

long vowels trigger preaspiration in nearest consonant within the syllable or to the left, becomes fricatives,
