Are the words penis, pen, pencil, peninsula related in some way.

is it something to do with all of them being long and narrow objects?

i think pencil has roots in the latin word for tail and so does penis

peninsula is different though, that's unrelated. paene insula. almost island.

thanks high school latin education!
