Subject: Re: Re: Re: [tied] Latin -idus as from dH- too
because the word basically mean "female" --i.e. "one
who gives suck"
I think Watkins explains that --and doesn't female
come from the same root?
Now that we have fathers and daughters --what is the
meaning of the root of brother?
=========
(Young) daughters precisely are not women
and even less child-bearing mothers.
so your explanation falls outside the target.
Brother *bhreH2-ter looks like
born child : bh_r + H2_t + er
Maybe just a coincidence.
