Dana, you may also be interested in the work of Marchell Abrahams, an amateur researcher/historian/etymologist based in Aberdeen, Scotland. Among other things, she uses etymology to uncover, or shed light on, ancient human migrations and links between various cultures across the planet.

I’m not surprised since Sanskrit is usually considered to belong to the Indo-European language group, which includes the Slavic languages.

I find these correspondences fascinating… As Dr. Farrell points out, they are due to Sanskrit and the Slavic languages (like Latin, Greek, the Germanic and Celtic languages, and a few others) being part of the Indo-European language group.

I’m not sure Ouranos (sky god) corresponds to Brahma. I think it’s likely Ouranos = Varuna (sky god). Those may be the same god as Perun.

Thanks for the suggestion.
