Re: [tied] sanskrit :an Piotr

*akWa: is a "West IE" dialectal word found in Latin and Germanic, and *ap- (or rather *h2ap-, nom.sg. *h2a:ps) is a different IE root meaning 'flowing water'. The convergence of Indo-Iranian <ap-> and Romanian apä (which derives from Latin aqua) is accidental.

hi Piotr,

i should have a question

How does it comme that a word can has a initial form and will become modified in time, and after several modifications, it returns to the inital form?

I speak having as point the vedic, avestan "apa"=water and i spread the question over the fact that , again these rumanians, got this word from the latin "aqua" and it became in thier language "apa".

Or maybe they got it from the scithyans, sarmatians tribes which , we know, where a iranian stock?
