from peoples in Europe, India, South Africa, the
Americas, and the Pacific islands in a tiny name- 【3】______
less, and forgotten tribe that roamed central Eurasia
5,000 to 6,000 years ago, before the dawn
of writing history. 【4】______
Since a long time scholars puzzled over the 【5】______
striking difference of words in different languages.【6】______
In Dutch, vader; in Latin, pater; in old Irish,
athir; in Persian, pidar; in the Sanskrit of
distant India, pitr. These words all sounded
likely and meant the same thing--"father". 【7】______
Where did it happen that widely separated 【8】______
peoples used such close related sound symbols. 【9】______
The problem baffled linguists for years. The more
so because "father" was but one of a host of such

stemmed from some common languages.
