Derivation of Gothic from Indo-European is a commonly accepted 
explanation, which however, as it is typical for many Indo-European 
explanations, explains nothing in fact.
Why other Germanic languages did not accept this stem? 
Why this stem did not appear in Latin, Greek, Celtic, Baltic, 
and other Indo-European language groups except for Russian 
(along with the elder form , the latter seeming to be a cognate 
to Indo-European 
and Germanic )?
In my opinion, Gothic together with Russian 
should have been produced from Turkic with the same meaning father. 
The Turkic origin could explain the limited influence upon solely those 
most eastern Germanic and Slavonic languages.

In the gothic language exist the word atta for 'father'. Comes it from 
the Indo-european language? I know that in other germanic lanugage the 
cognates of latin pater exist. 
If someone has knowledge for it, please give me informtion.
