[Footnote 17: Hirt equates Parjanya, Perkunas, Fjoergyn, as originally epithet of Dy[=a]ns-Zeus, with [Greek: phegotaios], the ‘Oak-god.’ See also Zimmer, ZDA. vii. (19) 164.]
[Footnote 18: Mueller explains Rudra as ‘howler’; Leo identifies him with Wuotan; Jones with Apollo, Kuhn. KZ. iii. 335; as A. Sax. Rodor, ib. ii. 478: P. von Bradke. ZDMG. xi. 361. Oldenberg’s delineation of Rudra in Die Religion des Veda is based on the Brahmanic Rudra-Civa (see PAOS. Dec 1894).]

[Footnote 20: The
author justly remarks that no sociological
data can be made of
Yama’s wife or sister.]

sees Death, sharp sight of dog causes
myth.]
[Footnote 22: Other less important examples of etymological ingenuity are Scherer, Brahman as flamen ([Greek: Brhagkos], Bragi, see Kaegi, Rig Veda, note 82); abhrad[=i]t[=a] as Aphrodite, Sonne, KZ. x. 415; Ahaly[=a] as Achilleus, Weber, Sitz. Berl. Ak., 1887; Id[=a] as Iris (Windischmann), Poseidon, potidas, i[=d.]aspati (Fick, KZ. xxi. 462); but in KZ. i. 459 Poseidon is patye davan. On the form compare BB. viii. 80; x. 237; KZ. xxx. 570. Prellwitz, BB. ix. 327, agrees with Fick and Pott as to i[d.]as representing [Greek: oidma] and compares [prosklhotios]. Garga is Gorgo, Kern, JRAS. iv. 431; P[=a]jasya is Pegasos, etc, KZ. i. 416, xxix. 222; Parvata is Pelasgos, Burda, KZ. xxi. 470; but compare Stier, ib. xi. 229, where Pelasgoi are ‘cranes’; and Pische, ib. xx. 369, where they are [Greek: parhrhhasioi]. Sabheya is Yavi[s.][t.]ha (not Hephaistos, as says Kuhn), Mueller, ib. xviii. 212; and v[r.]trahan is not Bellerophon (as says Pott), ib. iv. 416, v. 140 (bellero is varvara). Carad is Ceres, Mueller, ib. xviii. 211; svav[=a]n is [Greek: enas], Autrecht, ZDMG. xiii 499; svar ‘sing’ in Silenus, Siren: Buddhaguru in Pythagoras, etc. Helena is Saram[=a], and Hermes 1s S[=a]rameya. Mueller, Chips, ii. 138, note. Compare for further clever guesses Cox’s Aryan Mythology, Mueller’s Lectures, Second Series, and Biographies of Words.]
