Subject: Re: [tied] Mitanni and Matsya
Who is Kakawallah? what is kaka??
IA adstrate upon Hittite languages is long established but why pre vedic?
When obviously their documents are listing vedic gods after a long list of
Sumerian etc gods? There is no proof to show that Varuna et al were pre
vedic gods.
The IA roots of Mitanni is no doubt strained reading but calling Mitanni pre
vedic is casual reading.

===============
In Hurri,
Varuna is uruwaanasiil [uruwanosil]
Indra is indara [int?ara]
To be frank, I can't believe a second
that Hurri borrowed these words from Indic.
It's the other way that sounds possible :
Hurri > Indo-iranian.
Indo-Iranians came empty-handed
and got what they discovered on the spot.
