*****GK: Very interesting and worth pursuing a
bit.Some questions:

(1) Is something akin to "ryba" either in the sense of
"fish" or fish-like behaviour, known in any other IE
language? Starting with Baltic, as otherwise closest
to Slavic.
(2) Is something etc.. /as above/ known in any other
(nonIE) language? esp. such as are historical
neighbours of Slavic. ******
