============

It's worth reading that English path is supposed to be an Iranian loanword
!?

http://www.bartleby.com/61/roots/IE394.html
path, from Old English pæth, path; b. pad2; footpad, from Middle Dutch pad,
way, path. Both a and b from Germanic *patha-, way, path, probably borrowed
(? via Scythian) from Iranian *path-. (Pokorny pent- 808.)

How is this possible if Germanic originates in Northern Europe and Jastorf ?
