Acephalous
This comes directly from late Latin, which borrowed it from Greek. Not head, or headless. But is this from PIE, which gave German speakers kopf?

Re: Acephalous
I sometimes feel that many people, especially politicians, are acephalous. Can't they get it that the Internet and cellphones are permanent records? If you want to get caught, use these. 
Life is like playing chess with chessmen who each have thoughts and feelings and motives of their own.
