The "Danube" name persists with its IE origin (in fact, most European
words do!). "Chimere/ chamarre" church-robe is seen in Brahmin
"chamara" royal tassel of chamari deer-hair, Ger. "gamsbart" of
chamois, Skt. "camara" royal symbol of Genghiz Khan.</div> <div style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;">"..but
"wildebees" is named for its wild jumps, and since it is a buck (a
bovine) the link with an ox (bees) is easily made. I don't think that
the Boer culture was still in touch with common Indic .."</div> <div style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;">Cows
and oxen are not buck /boch, and do not jump. Cape Buffalo are "wilde
bees", but antelope are not bovine / bees. The inherent connotation of
deer /mountain goats / antelope is of attractive animals of the wild,
the normal hunted animal. So Bavarian "trachtenhuten" meaning a hunting
costume (I think - the word is too old for Germans to understand), has
the chamois gamsbart on the hat as a symbol of good hunting, today. </div> <div style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;">There are numerous modern religious rituals from
ancient civilisations. We are so used to them that these are invisible
to us. When we speak, we are "replying" to our IE ancestors with their
words and semantics.</div> <span style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;">chimera</span><br style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;"><br style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;">
