To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
For taking a word out of one of the Aryan languages and making allowance for the changed form which it would wear in the other tongues, if we find the same word with the same meaning reappearing in all the languages of the family, we may fairly assume that the thing for which it stands was known to the old Aryans bef ore the separation. And if again we find a word which runs through all the European languages, but is not found in the 80 THE DAWN OF HISTOIiY. Sanskrit and Persian, we guess that ...in this case the thing was known only to the Yavanas, the first separating body of younger Aryans, from whom it will be remembered all the European branches are descended. Thus we get a very interesting list of words, and the means of drawing a picture of the life of our primaeval ancestors. The earliest appear- ance of the Aryans is as a pastoral people, for words derived from the pastoral life have left the deepest traces on their language. Daughter, we saw, meant originally " the milker " ; the name of money, and of booty, in many Aryan languages is derived from that of cattle ; l words which have since come to mean lord or prince originally meant the guardian of the cattle ; 2 and others which have expanded into words for district or country, or even for the whole earth, meant at first simply the pasturage.
