Re: [tied] Greek+Slavic

Apologies if this is a beginner's question, but I haven't heard that derivation of Bog before. Could you direct me to a reference?

Thanks,

Out of curiosity:
what about the "god" word? The old IE (and presumably
"BaltoSlavic") concept of this, still present in
Baltic, has been changed in Slavic to a word linked to
a very specific deity, a relatively minor god of
wealth. I wonder if this might not be the result of
Scythian influence (the way of life of their
gold-hungry aristocracies)? ******
