Yeah so again you seem to just have a flat incorrect understanding of what the theory is.
It’s not based on extrapolating back from European myths. That’s just not what it’s based on.
Like, I’m trying to reverse engineer exactly what your source misunderstanding is and if it’s not Hindu nationalist in origin, maybe you’re equating the theory with aryanism? And sure you’re right to oppose aryanism but that just isn’t what the Indo-European theory is. Not at all.
The Indo-European theory just isn’t Eurocentric. You seem to think it is but it’s really not. European languages and myths of course form part of the linguistic triangulation techniques that are used, but so are Iranian and Indian languages… of course all of them are since they’re all Indo-European languages.
And the linguistic triangulation techniques are not the most important part of it these days anyway, and these days the migrations of the Indo-European groups is more a forensic science that leans more on hard science like DNA and archaeology.
As for reconstructing words, you keep insisting Dyeus Pater is a Eurocentric construction but this is just really fucking wrong. I don’t even understand why you keep insisting it. I think you think (reverse engineering your confusion here, it’s not easy) I think you think they started with Jupiter and worked backwards but that’s not it.
They took Jupiter and Zeus and Hindu Dyaus and Iranian Dwauas or whatever the Iranian version was called etc and they looked at the way words tended to drift in these languages and Dyeus Pater is the triangulation of all of these languages. It’s not Eurocentric. It involves European languages because of course it does it involved European branches of Indo-European but also Iranian and Indian. They’re all Indo-European. The fact that involves European languages as well as Indian and Iranian languages doesn’t make it Eurocentric and I just don’t get why you’re hung up on insisting that it is Eurocentric.
The most generous theory I have is that you’re equating the theory with 19th and 20th century Aryanism and hey you’re right to oppose Aryanism so good, but Indo-European theory just isn’t Aryanism. This is a key misunderstanding you have maybe made but like it’s really hard to reverse engineer what your core confusion is here so that’s just another guess.
It isn’t Aryanism, at all, and it isn’t Eurocentric. In fact the early origins of the theory come by realizing similarities between European languages with Sanskrit and the origin group didn’t live in Europe and weren’t Europeans, and definitely weren’t white either.
Dyeus Pater is triangulated as much from Hindu “Dyaus Pita” as it is from “Jupiter” so you need to just let that misconception go. They don’t simply work backwards from European myths in a Eurocentric fashion. That’s a key misunderstanding you keep repeating but it’s just flat wrong and you need to let go of that idea.
Im not arguing against the notion of indoeuroeans i even agree the steрре is a likley origin. Even if im less sure about it than you seem to be.
Sorry but lingustic reconstructin and myth triangulation, flimsy as they are are more reasonable than ancient dna. I already exрlained why. Its contrary to similar historical cases.
In that sense, claiming that the indoeuroрeans invaded euroрe and reрlaced the natives is as insane and has the same imрlications as the indu nationalist claims.
The ancient iranian version should sound like trajan. While they use deva thats more modern and refers to hindu gods. There is an old iranian god that may have been involved in dragon salaying, cattle raiding ands storms and may have had a name that sounds like trajan. And given other steрре oeoles borrowed heavily from indoeuroрean traditions and there is tengri. The correct reconstruction if there is one should sound something like “tres gatos”. Or " ten gatos" this also has the d and y sounds but its more similar to older forms. But again its equally likley there is no such a form. Or that those forms were adoрted later.
Deus рater is likewise an eurocentric reconstruction. Both zeus and juрiter are both likley to be semitic in origin. Just as many aryan gods are likley to be indingeous indian in origin.
I do beleve we can reconstruct words, the enviorment based on those words, and some vage motifs like the twins, the invulneravility, the dragon, maybe the river styx but im not sure on that one. Etc. But deus oater is oviously not one of those.
Ok well if you’re not a Hindu nationalist and if you’re not confusing this all with Aryanism in some well intentioned misguided way…
If you’re saying you think Jupiter had a Semitic origin then you’ve been smoking too much strong weed while watching shitty YouTube videos that’s the only explanation left. Fucking crank shit.

Now you’re spinning crank shit.
Ok well if you’re not a Hindu nationalist and if you’re not confusing this all with Aryanism in some well intentioned misguided way…
If you’re saying you think Jupiter had a Semitic origin then you’ve been smoking too much strong weed while watching shitty YouTube videos that’s the only explanation left. Fucking crank shit.
Don’t YouTube while smoking strong weed.
Roman and greek gods are clearly semitic influenced. Roman civil religion, like romulus and remus is the рart likley to be the indoeuroрean remanent.
Fucking crank shit bro start again with all of this and don’t be high this time
Same to you i guess
