Your comments are intersting Gendlemen.
I do not claim to hold the eternal truth.
I commented that Thyssagetae might be Hunting or Hunter Getae
because in very ancient Greek the word goes like:
TH pronounced like TH in THOR represented by an on O with a horizontal line in the middle. In ancient Greek engavings appears as a "Celtic" cross.
So THEO is "to run" or "to spin" THISSO is "to hunt" or "to run arround".
The sound TH is appearing in the north European languages and is written with the "thorn" rune like "|>".
I am more inclined to belive that Getae might be closer to Skythians rather than Goths. Of course archaeology might prove me wrong.
There seems to be enough evidence that the Tocharians if not giving the kick start to Chinese civilization they certainly influenced it very much perhaps more than the Chinese would like to admit.
After some study I start come to the conclusion that the term Aryans is atributed to people that they first dealt with farming. The word or root AR in many ancient languages describes the wooden tool initally used to plough the soil. The people using it grew food and perhaps they developed their martial skills to defend their land and crops.
That is why they are described as warlike.
They first were clans, then they devopled into tribes and races and it is possible that the root of the proto dialect became the backbone of the languages evolved by each population grouping.
In Greek from the root AR we get:
ARISTOS: The one who excells (The first successful farmer perhaps)
ARISTIA: Exelence in battle at homeric times.
ARISTOKRATIS: Strongest of the ARISTOI - The leader
ARO: to drug ARIS-God of war the one who drugs the armies behind him.
I am sure that other memebers can give us examples in their respective languages.
I think I will also agree with Robert's comment that linguistics are not a panakea when you describe people and peoples names.
The examples that I recall are:
Us Greeks that we call ourselves ELLINES
Germans that call themselves DEUTCH academically they are described as TEUTONS. Finns call themselves SUOMI and the list might be interminable.
Kind regards
