Greetings;
I read recently that the word "mammoth" was from Lithuanian..
and was derived from two words "Ma Muth" (or close to that) meaning
large "mole" (or ground dwelling animal). I'm a few weeks away from the
reference, but that is what I remember of it. Do any of you linguists
know enough Lithuanian to comment or confirm/deny/correct this appraisal (or
my memory of it)?
