thank you very much for your responce.

The discussion was not in my mind about final Dagan/Dagon as
possible final by-product .
Dag :"fish" appeared after that proto-roots *DAG wich existed before.
You told something related (in my pespective) only to a final stage.
What is true,that "fish" was related to "god" in early cultures and
religions (Harappa...).
I am not satisfied at all with your responce. I expected a long-
range one,and with a wider perspective.
Yours, Eugen Rau
