</span><br style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;">transactions in Nuzi Akkadian (i.e., a kind of Middle Babylonian used</span><br style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;">
at the city Nuzi in NE Iraq, very near modern Kirkuk). I have just</span><br style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;">finished reading the "T" volume of the Chicago Assyrian Dictionary. It
</span><br style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;">is filled with many Hurrian words which are cited without translation</span><br style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;">
other than "?" I wish you luck in finding conclusive evidence of a</span><br style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;">Sanskrit connection. We surely haven't had any luck relating to

Subject: History [E]</span><br style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;"><br style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;"><div style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;">Saxon "sars" may be a variety of "seaxe" sword. One suggestion is
that IE skua "to cover, to skin, flay" is the origin. This is said to
be in "Skythia" cloud-dragon mother of Skythes, hence ON skye "clouds",
skua sea-bird (covering the sea?), skewer to pin down a skinned
animal-hide, and Skuathie giantess of Norse legend. This may be
skandieren "to scan", and Scandinavia.</div> <div style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;">The reach of Brahmin
gods is seen in their Danu river-goddess , who is DNieper river which
produced Skythia viper-woman dragon ancestress. _Herodotus 4.5,8.
Diodorus 2.43. 5.24. Etymol. Mag.502. Danu is DANUbe , the same
echidna viper-dragon, mother of Keltos. She is Danaan mother of gods of
Ireland._J Koch. Advanced Welsh Studies,UWales.</div> <div style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;">It is
possible that western Scythia diffused the prestigious Brahmin culture
without large migration. This would be a parallel with Vatican priests
promoting the faith to kings and chiefs based on Rome's prestige,
without military pressure. Tocharian bramn.kte means "Brahma god", and
the Vedas from the Himalayas were a coherent, dynamic explanation of
world-governance. The original IE people would have had a defining
religion which travelled with the dialects, and possibly Brahminism was
a form of that after 1500 BC. So perhaps Scythians were a secondary
flow of earlier Saxon people.</div> <div style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;">The
Norwegian embassy in Thailand had an exhibition of Norse dragon
stave-churches / Thai dragon-temples to show the near identical
architecture. The split-roof and central spire temple-shape occurs in
Ukraine, Mongolia, Nepal, Burma and Thailand.</div> <div style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;">Scythian chiefs had burials with a ring of strangled youths riding dead horses</div> <div style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;">
around the
central tomb-mound. This is not known in Germany (?) but the Saxon
king of Sutton Hoo 7th cent Britain, has a tomb-mound with executed men
buried in a ring around him. He has a dragon on helmet and shield,
which is consistent with the Scythian "skua" dragon.</div> <div style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;">John Welch. <br></div><br style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;">
