Re: Fw: Dumezil

I certainly anticipate what your theory could be - it will be a replica of Dumezil.

But you don;t seem to be understanding the contradictions - you said Varuna is an Indic God, but Dumezil insists on the pair system everywhere- with Mitra is being present at least in some IE.

Go by facts and logic, not by your beliefs and French brother hood connections.

Well, couple of people accepting does not amount to much, especially by
people like Mallory, who is being questioned nowadays.

You are trying to explain each deity and each theonym like a huge collection
of unrelated entities.
The reason why Dumezil's approach is so strong is the relationships between
the entities matter as much as the entities themselves.
You fail to understand that.

Your "theory" is obviously inadequate.
Wrong method, wrong premices, wrong results.
No improvement on previous theories.

All of you are questioning the "mainstream" theories which I have quoted.
You are questioning Mcdonnell et al and not Kishore patnaik.

MacDonnel is two centuries old,
Why don't you choose something even older to make sure it's even more
outdated ?
