Comment on The Indo-European Family Treeparent

Comments

English: God gave us teeth; God will give us bread.

Lithuanian: Dievas davė dantis; Dievas duos duonos.

Sanskrit: Devas adadat datas; Devas dat dhanas.

And a fun extra one is that Lithuanian "gobti" is cognate with English "give"!

Another cool one, Svet in Russian and Schwet in Hindi, both meaning white/light and both being in names (Svetlana, Shweta)
