 with links in shortcut pre-histories of several European countries, including one of the Je­nish people in the Alemannic areas and Scott Littleton's table analysis of the Samu­rai.
 For those European countries which were touched by the megalith-culture of 6000 years ago, we discuss their pre-history, taking into account

🟡 language by considering names of toponyms and tribes,
🟡 anthropology by analysing the DNA, if already available also from plants and
   animals ( notably for cows, meanwhile also for sheep, but for horses still open ),

🟡 archeology, which now is available everywhere, and
🟡 mythology, which around the Mediterranian is given in written records.

 All countries in consideration, for instance Greece including Crete, first were sett­led, more or less densely, permanently by Bandkeramik culture people, whose lan­gu­age Pe­las­gian we take - carrying over T. Vennemann also to Greece - for a very old version of the Bas­que lan­gu­age, called in Latin *Vasconian. Thus our etymologies come from three

language groups Semit(id)ic ⭮ *Vasconic ⭯ Indo-European.

A
pre-History
of
Greece
Based on these etymologies and taking Homer's I l i as into account we now try to outline
A Short pre-History of Greece .

The first permanent settlers were *Vasconic-speaking Pelasger from Eastern Anatolia, vilifiing lo­cal hun­ters and ga­therers as Lelegians, with whom they fought frequently. Around (2200) bChr Indo-Europeans - the Acha­ens - ar­rived from the Russian steppe via the Balkans or directly from Anatolia - as part of the first In­do-Eu­ro­pean mi­gra­tion.
 Spread over mainland Greece and Crete, especially in the highlands Pelasgians remained un­tou­ched. They be­came the later Aeolians, not exactly a substrat, but ill-reputed.
 In contrast in the preferential areas the Pelasgians were subdued to become the substrat of the working class. Like ever the Indo-Europeans became the superstrat, but perhaps with less than half of the re­sul­ting po­pu­la­tion. This part became the Ionians. And like ever this mixed culture attained such a high standard, that still to­day it commands admiration - and even was able to withstand the military societies Sparta and Per­sia. Their cen­ter became Athens and the whole of Attika.
 It remains open whether other Achaen centers like Mycenae and Tiryns participatd in exactly this lin­gui­stic de­velopment. Given that Eteocretians - and later Minoans - started colonisations from Kythera into the Adria and westwards via Gallipoli and Malta to Carthage it is unlikely that they left out mainland Greece. Whether this led to a linguistic contribution to Greek beyond some loanwords remains to open. Some scho­lars even take My­ce­nae for non-Indo-European.
 The second Indo-European migration flooded Greece and Crete and the islands in between with Dorians. This fi­nally led to the Indo-Europeanisation of Greek wherein only tiny rests of the Pe­las­gian lan­guage sur­vived. This is analysed in Beekes, based on Fournée. To distinguish between the pri­or Achaen and the youn­ger Dorian part should already have been difficult for the Greek historians from (500) bChr onwards.
 The I l i as therefor does give only little help, because it obeys to some sort of Heisenberg's uncertain­ty re­la­tion - the location being fixed at Troj so its date all the more is cloudy.
 Homer usually is dated around 800 bChr, and - sometimes - the Trojan War around 1200 bChr in the welt of the se­cond Indo-European (im-)migration of the Dorians into Greece. Exactly this is que­stio­nable be­cause its story does not fit properly. It also is possible to tranfer it to the first Indo-European (im-)migration - of the Achaens - from which we do not know anything. If Homer denotes the Greeks as Danaens, i.e. as Dorians, and specifies the participants of the Trojan War, all this may be an adaptation to his aera and era, like the medie­val bard of the Ni­belungenlied aligned a well-known saga to his aera and era.
 We backdate the era of Idomeneo, king of Crete, to the era of the foundation of Gallipoli, then Malta and fi­nal­ly Car­thage.

Hence perhaps also the Aenaeis, i.e. the love story of Dido and Aeneas, has to be backdated long before the Trojan war and the prime age of the Phoenicians from (1200) bChr onwards.

A
pre-History
of
Crete
 From our numerous Basque and Semit(id)ic etymologies we try
A Short pre-History of  Crete

- also to include many pre-Hellenic mythical names  Rhea, Ariadne, Olysses, ...  and the derivation of the geo­gra­phical names Europe, Africa, Asia , the affiliation of which makes more sense in Crete than in todays coun­try of the Basques. Certainly these terms entered much later Greek and from there became in­ter­na­tio­nally used.
 Probably the first settlers were Pelasgians coming from Greece. The date remains open, like that one of the se­cond wave by Semitic seefarer from Cyprus. We assume that those took the lead [ Aar ] and the Pe­las­gi­ans were made the working class. Over time these two populations merged to create the Mi­no­an cul­ture, the merged lan­gu­age being a kind of creole of Semitic over *Vasconic. This lasted till the erup­tion of the The­ra / Santo­rin vol­ca­no, which together with earthquakes and tsunamis annihilated this culture completely.
 Because of the contact with not far-off Egypt this culture developed hieroglyphs for writing and, when this tur­ned out not to be efficient, because of the contact with Near East cuneiform culture even an own such writing - Li­near A. On page 2 of his second volume Aartun [ AW𐏉] mentions that hieroglyphic texts can only be found in the cen­ter and the east of Crete.
 Aartun translates the hieroglyphic texts in Semitic, some with a poetic-sexuel connotation. Linear A can be pro­nounced and seems to use two different languages.
 After the volcanic catastrophe Crete fell prey to several invasions from mainland Greece. They de­ve­lo­ped Li­near B based on the Greek language.
The rest is (the) history.

 From our many wysiwyg-etymologies along the shipping route from the Levant around the Ibe­rian pen­in­su­la into northern Europe and a basic knowledge of geography we get
A Short pre-History of  Ma l ta

- surprisingly detailed: Some (5000) bChr there was a first wave of Semit(id)ic settlers sailing along the coast­li­nes from the Levant, always in sight of land, leading to the first permanent co­lo­nies. There are the re­vea­ling facts:

 The 1st is 🟨 A. Borg's identification of the closest relative to Maltese with a Maronite Semitic lan­guage on a nor­thern cape of Cyprus and not with nearby Tunesian Arabic.

 The 2nd is 🟨 that there are not that many safe harbors along the southern coast of Anatolia,

leading to the eastern coast of Crete. They found the island populated by Pelasgians, but mainly in the we­stern part. They made Phaistos in the center of the eastern peninsula their capital. Some of the cities, es­pe­cially in the middle of Crete have a Pelasgian and an early-Semitic name. They were Homer*s Eteo­cre­tians. The re­sul­ting history remains unknown - without deciphering Linear A and the un­co­ve­ring of more in­scrip­tions this will re­main so. It remains unknown how the following Mi­noan culture came into being.

 The 3rd is 🟨 that the southern coast of Calabria has few safe harbors, except Gallipoli,

a small rocky island close to the coast. They took it for a stop-over only, because the mountain range close to the coastline was only thinly populated and didn't suit well for settling or trading with locals. From our ety­mo­lo­gy of Thera / Santorin

 the 4th is 🌋 that the Eteocretians were fully aware of the danger of volcanos and associated earth­qua­kes.

They hence avoided settling on the eastern coast of Sicily in sight of Mount Etna, giving it only the name land of earthquakes.

 The 5th is 🟨 that there are no safe harbours along the southern coast of of this land of earth­qua­kes,

the next one being near Erice around the south-western cape of Sicily. So sailing along this coast in a save dis­tance to avoid reefs, but not to far off to go on land in case of thunderstorms, they in­evi­tably be­came aware of the islands of Malta.

 The 6th is 🟨 that Malta was densely wooded like the garden-island Crete,

leading to permanent settling. So Malta took place in all cultural developments from the east - most of them with a religious back­ground - and became a center of the megalith-culture with own traditions, different and in­de­pendent of those in Crete, which in turn were transported to the west until they reached the area of Mor­bi­han at the French Atlantic coast. So very important

 the 7th is 🌀 that the megalithic temples in Malta and Gozo resemble Ireland's New Grange,

not only sharing the same architecture - which alone could be coincidence - but also have the same en­graved spi­rals, likely a religious symbol like cross, halfmoon, svastika, ... .
 From the name of Idomeneo, king of Crete, which may have been a personal name or the name of a dy­na­sty or even a title, we get

 the 8th is 🟨 that the megalith-culture of Malta was founded by Idomeneo,

arriving with the first wave of immigration from the east, 7000 years ago, or the second or - most like­ly - the third, starting 5300 years ago and developing an economy of surplus which led 4500 years ago to the con­struc­tion of huge megalithic sites, since he founded Gallipoli, which makes sense only as a stop-over.
 Homer relocated the legend of Idomeneo to the much later Trojan War as did the medieval poet of the song of the Ni­be­lungs, but here no older and more accurate (nordic) version of the events is known.
 In the course of history Carthage became the next center of this Semitic wandering.
The rest is (the) history.

The
pre-History
of
Tirol
 Geography completely determines
a Short pre-History of  Tirol

- and especially the story of the ice-man of the Similaun! East of Tirol, the Groß Glockner, and west of Tirol, the high mountains of Grau Bünden, Terra Grischuna in local Rätoromanisch, high mountains prevented any north-south flow of trade up to the late 19th century. This is described accurately by the *Vasconic name

    ( the land of easy ) transitions ( across the Alps )
- given by the first Bandkeramik settlers - certainly local settlers were able to over­come this barriers to co­lo­nise the uninhabitated upper parts of these valleys.
 DNA-analysis of the glacier-man of the Similaun reveals, that his ancestors came from Anatolia, per­haps via Sar­dinia with Pelasgians, being not relative to Indo-Europeans of the southern Russian steppe.
 The etymologies of Tirolean place names uncover his story: At the major Alpine passes Brenner and Re­schen lo­cals made a living by serving traders with accomodation, food, guidance, for instance delivering mules for car­ry­ing merchandise - at a price. He was a road charges scammer, guiding traders via the Schnals­tal-val­ley across the continental divide. And he was heavily armed with bow and an arsenal of arrows in a quiver. To­ge­ther with his client he took a break before circumventing in a snow drift the station at the Hauslabalm, not being aware that the officials there already had spotted them. They shot him, took his client and the mer­chan­dise away, over­looking in this snow drift his arrows, leaning some 10 m away at a rock.
 The Indo-European invasion into the Alps, which led to a southern version of the urnfield culture [ Anr ], was completed around (2300) bChr. For sure it followed the valley of the Danube and its southern tri­bu­ta­ries. Whe­ther there was an even more southern branch along the Adria still is an open question.
 Like everywhere in Europe the bandkeramik people were able to stick to their culture on­ly in the hi­gher moun­tains - like above Innbruck. But whether the tragedy of the Similaun has such a - political - back­ground re­mains an open question, given that there is no local tale.

A
pre-History
of
Scotland
 The Picts were Semiti(dic Megalithicians, who colonised the whole big island from its western coast. Pro­bab­ly their ge­nome is preserved in two skeletons from the Orkneys [ M…W p 392 ]. When­ce we can write - al­so to tie loose ends -
A Short pre-History of  Scotland

 After the sinking of Doggerland only hunter and gatherers were sealed off until band ceramic peo­ple sett­led down - but per­haps only in some beachheads along the southern coast [ Ven Arun­dal ].
 From (4500) bChr Semit(id)ic Megalithicians arrived by ship mainly along the Irish Sea, settling down up to the Shet­lands. In the course of centuries they spread up to the east coast as Picts.
 It is not clear whether waves of newcomers arrived on the islands by the first Indo-European mi­gra­tion, cor­res­pon­ding to the Acheans of Greece.
 In contrast the second Indo-European migration after (1200) bChr fully hit Britain and Ireland, the Ve­ne­tians fol­lo­wing the tracks of the Megalithicians along the Irish Sea, the Brigants directly cros­sing the channel on the shor­test line, per­haps 100 years earlier. The Megaliticians (Picts) de­fen­ded themselves by erecting the system of 5 hillforts around Mam Tor, hence like in Northern Germany by strategically using to full capacity the terrain - and survived for nearly another 2000 years. This border still can be felt today be­tween York­shire and Mercia.
 The border between the invading Indo-Europeans and the Pictish Megalithicians, however, constantly mo­ved north­ward - today it is between the Scottish low- and highlands. For a while the borderland also con­tai­ned the Sherwood area, and hence we also tranfer backwards in time the tale of Robin Hood, who presumab­ly was a me­ga­lithic rebel against the Indo-European onslaught.
 This borderland still stopped the Celtic assault some (400) years later, who overwhelmed Ireland and all areas south of this line. Be­cause of the close relationship of Brigants and Celts they mixed up in the cour­se of cen­tu­ries such that
 the Romans could not see any difference between these tribes. However, because of their chiefly gree of war tech­no­lo­gy the Romans were able to shift the border further north to the Antonine Wall. The area north of this wall remai­ned Pict­ish, due to their ferocity, but also due to the longer supply lines of the Roman le­gions in an odd harsh climate.
 After the fall of the Roman Empire Angles, Saxons and Jutes flooded the island from the east, but the Picts took hold in the west until the invasion of Scoti from Ireland who defeated them in the battle of 843 aChr.

A
pre-History

England
 Contrary to the complicated pre-history of Ireland with its many invasions form abroad
A Short pre-History of  England

relies entirely on toponyms and language considerations. Foundation sagas are totally wiped out because of the Indo-European arrival around 1200 bChr, the Celtic invasion around 800 bChr, the Roman invasion under Cesar and the Germanic conquest after 499 aChr.
 Undoubtedly after the last Ice Age hunter and gathereres entered England via the Doggerland bridge, which af­ter went under. And even some early Bandkeramik people may have entered England that way - although not in lar­ge numbers and only along the southern coast.
 The first settlers with a lasting impact on history came by ship from Western France, probably looking for tin and copper like in Ireland. They brought the megalith-culture with them, with the Druids as a leading cler­gy, which de­veloped to a high standard, hitting the whole island and even the archipelagos north of it.
 After a few millennia this world declined and brought in the first Indo-Europeans. One part, the Brigants, ar­ri­ved from the continent via the sea-gate at Dover, the second part, the Venetians, by ship from Western Fran­ce. In the sequel those Indo-Europeans in large numbers expanded northwards, driving the Me­ga­lithicians - now the Picts - from the south. Today the Megalithicians - now mixed with Celts and speaking Cel­tic - are confined to the Scottish highlands. As ever the Megalithicians used the geography strategically, es­pe­cially deep forests like the Sherwood and hillforts like around Mam Tor and Carl Wark. When those were given up the megalithic era in Eng­land was over - the tale of Robin Hood only tells a last runup. Whether this happened before or due to the ar­rival of the Celts around 800 bChr remains open.
 Because of the close relationship of Brigants, Venetians and Celts the Roman historians could not see any dif­fe­rence between those tribes and took them all as Celtic.
The rest is (the) history.

 Given that the Anglosaxon history of England commenced when Hengist and Horsa went onboard at Holling­stedt on river Treene and headed a fleet of boats to conquer England, the
   pre-History of the English Language

commenced much earlier. We postulate that about 1300 years before it existed fully developed around Seddin, from where it expanded north-, south- and westwards. In the Roman era, it was spoken in the formerly urn­field-cul­ture areas up to the Roman borders and in Scandinavia as a kind of lingua franca, labeled as Germanic by the Roman geographers. It still was spoken by Charlemagne, who reportedly spoke with his Anglo-Saxon chan­cel­lor Alkuin in his own language.
 There was a formation period of around 1000 years before 800 bChr, during which the Germanic language mer­ged to a kind of double Creole from a Semit(id)ic superstrat, an Indo-European adstrat (⁤the major part ) and a *Vasconic substrat.
 And we think that not only the trade of bronze but also the victorious defense at Conerow on river Tollense was a major boost for the new language.

A Short pre-History of  Holland

- also to connect loose ends: Some (4300) bChr there was a first wave of Semit(id)ic settlers skid­ding along the coast from the west by ship, which led to the first settlements. 500 years later there was a se­cond wave - this time with a new religion / ideology - leading to the numerous megalithic constructions. Not all of the par­ticipants of the first wave converted to the new re­ligion, east of Hinterpomerania there only were co­lo­nies of Se­mi­tic place names, like in Holland, where not more than a strip along the coast converted - Den Haag - and per­haps on­ly at times.
 Already Leiden stuck to the old re­li­gion - per­haps with or because of *Vasconic resistance. The re­gion up to lake Zui­der­see remained without megalithic sites, as in the west from the Picardie to the Hol­land pro­vince. To the south the valley of ri­ver Rhine ba­sic­ly remained without such place names and sites. The few ex­cep­tions can be explained by later trading and imitations.

When the first megalithic settlers arrived from Denmark, approximately at the same time of the first permanent settlements of Scotland and the Orkneys, they found the country on­ly thin­ly po­pu­la­ted by peo­ple of Sami-type, migrating with their reindeers. They settled down at the most suit­ab­le place in Oslo, which for all times became their capital.

again is simple. Overpopulation, especially in times of climate degradation - several times but not per­ma­nent - en­forced emigration which nearly emptied this half. Then people from the north over­took and gave the country the name Sweden. So the first one of such emigrations led to the colonisation of Mecklenburg and Pomera­nia. La­ter ones landed from Russia to Jutland.
At most twice it came to reemigrations into Sweden. The first one led to the substitution of the origi­nal Se­mi­ti­(d­i)c language by the newly formed Germanic language. This was merged out of three languages - *Vas­co­nic, In­do-European and Semiti(di)c. Possibly this Germanisation of Scandinavia only was due to a dynasty of ru­lers mo­ving north.

  In a from east to west space-ordered way: Northern Germany was occupied after the last Ice Age - like most of Eu­rope - by hunters and gatherers who probably survived the Ice Age in local pockets in the same way as Es­ki­mos and Sami (Laplanders) today - like the Ahrensburg-culture.
 Then the first settlers were *Vasconic-speaking immigrants from Eastern Anatolia living in small com­mu­ni­ties - like Bilzingsleben.
 Back in that early big city in Eastern Anatolia the language underwent a strong development. Several mil­len­nia la­ter something happened, sending out the the warror class - the later Indo-Europeans - to the north and across the Cau­casus and the cleric class - the later Semitics to the south into the Fertile Crescent.
 Then again some mil­lennia later the Indo-Europeans arrived from Southern Russia in Northern Germany at the line of defence along river Elbe, west of the Müritz and the 5-lakes-district, installed by the Semiti­(di)c-spea­king Me­galithicians, who came from the mediterranian around the Iberian peninsula and Scandinavia a litt­le ear­li­er. The Ni­belun­gen­lied tells the story of the fall of this line of defence. From then the above dia­gram emerges. This freed the way to the western part of Europe.
 Perhaps it was exactly this raid to the west which led to a weakening of the raid towards the riches of the Me­ga­lithicians and its failure in Ragnarök - the Götterdämmerung. This gave the Megalithicians another 1000 years of dominance in the north.
 To the south this unclogged the whole of Western Europe up to the Atlantic. The Indo-Europeans there de­ve­loped a high culture - the Nebra sky disk - which led to the urnfield-culture. At its heyday they once more tried to subdue the megalithic north, but again failed at Conerow in the Tollense valley. This time again be­cause the de­fenders tactically and strategically used the terrain to full capacity.

How could it happen that between these two „superpowers” a third power grew
- for model take Vienna and Berlin at the eastern border of the much later Holy Roman Empire -
which developed the new hybrid language Germanic and expanded in all four directions of the wind rose
 The answer lies in the geo-strategic ability of the Megalithicians along the coastline of Baltic and es­pe­cial­ly in their concept of a fortified borderland, Grenzmark or markland. In the east this is the strip between ri­vers Tol­len­se and Oder with at least one hillfort in the north - which we assume to be Jumne - and in the south Rethra. Later this hillfort was vacated by the Bastarnae, overtaken by the Slavs and finally de­stroyed or over­built by the Germans.
 In the west at the geographical center of the Jastorf-culture around Seddin, riches amassed by the trade along the waterway of rivers Stepenitz and Elbe led to great power, which culminated in the prince Hinz of Seddin. Im­me­diately after, iron substituted bronze and trade and hence power collapsed. The newly es­tab­li­shed language pro­to-Germanic and their speakers, mixed from megalithic, Indo-European and *Vasconic ori­gin were forced to leave this area and expand in all directions.
 The epoch between the twilight of the gods and the battle at river Tollense remains dark. The sky-disk of Ne­bra hints that the now Indo-European fief­doms along river Elbe developed a high culture. Presumably the Me­ga­li­thi­cians stuck to their strip of borderlands and succeeded in the battle at Conerow at ri­ver Tol­len­se against an ear­ly „B l i t zʽʽ. Usually the winner of such a big battle founds a dynasty and it is straight­fore­ward to assume that this dynasty has its residence at the richest place - here at river Stepenitz. His lan­gu­age eventually became - mo­difified articulately - the new language Germanic.
mmmThe rest is (the) history.

Table-Analysis
of
Samurais
 [ ScL ] is an edgy theory on Skythian-Ossetian influences in China, Korea und Japan and a striking example of lore and its interpretation:
A Short pre-History of  Japanmmmmm

 From the point of view of etymology Japanese Samura i, originally sabura i, should be understood as Osse­tian Brigand:  as → sa  and  bryger → bu­ra­g i → bura i .
 Basicly he explains this by the striking similarity of the Japanese lore and the Arthurian legend, and with the fact that In­do-Eu­ro­pean influences are stronger than hitherto assumed.
 For that he has to assume, that not only Tocharians invaded today's China but also Iranian tribes - say the Os­setes. A group of Os­setes has been hired in order to combat the Ainus − their relatives❓ − the Arturian le­gend be­ing Os­setian lore, which also came to Northern England in the year 175 aChr with Yazygians.
 In fact 5500 Yazygian mercenaries were settled by the Romans at Ribchester in Western Lancashire and were part of the VI. le­gion Victrix, guarding river Lot. Their commander was the Roman prefect Lucius Artorius Castus. His name be­came the tit­le of the leader of these Yazygians ↔ Ossetians ↔ Alanians ↔ Sarmatians.
 One of those leaders would have won much later the battle of Badon Hill against the Anglo-Saxons ( which held back those only for a short time ). The name Lancelot simply should have the meaning the Alanian ( from ri­ver ) Lot.
 Clearly this does not clarify the date of their arrival in Japan. Unfortunatly archeology cannot decide whe­ther the nu­me­rous m­umies of Sinkiang are Tocharians or Ossetes - this only can be seen from genetics.
 In this connection there is the similarity of the top samurai, the Ta i + shogun with the Germanic title  kuning + az ≡ king  - but on­ly in the western Indo-European language groups [ KS König ]. Therefore one not only has to re­ar­range let­ters but also whole syl­lab­les in order to get German

The Ainu-connotation follows from the fact that with the restiction of this non-Japanese population to the nor­thern is­land Hokkaido, the shogunate ceased to exist, however, came to life again and only was wiped out af­ter 1800. Re­markably the sa­mu­rai erec­ted a typical Indo-European cast- and even terror-empery - sup­pres­sing the lo­cal po­pu­la­tion brutally and for in­stan­ce not al­lowing them to have forenames - one of those ty­pical Indo-Eu­ro­pean cu­stoms be­ing cremation. Clearly within on­ly a few ge­nerations they totally were in­te­grated in­to the lo­cal gen­try.

  Restraint
     ¶ Shogun can have traveled more directly into Japanese than from Germanic: Simo Parpola trans­lates  kun­i­ga(.r) ≡ king, prince  in Sumeric [ Pp l I p 209 ] and chases it through some Ural-Altaic lan­guages, for in­stance Chan and especially Mongolian qaγan.
     Because of being reported very early the ur-Germanic *kuninga-z is an indication for the megali­thic mi­gra­tion from the Mediterranian to northwest- and northern Europe and for the megalithic part of the Ger­ma­nic languages. Concluding further - is exactly this common word an indication for a participa­tion of Su­me­rians ( and also Egyptians ) in the megalithic settling in the north and especially perhaps even in a lea­ding position❓
     The datings 4200 bChr and a second time 3700 bChr ( according to pollen analysis ) of these migra­tions cor­res­pond to the rise of the Sumerian culture. Likewise Sumerian describes

     ♥ Krieg by  kar+ ≡ (to) rob  [p 191]  plus  ru.gú+ ≡ (to) destroy  [p 290]

    and hitting in the same way
     ‡ Schlacht by  šár+ ≡ (to) expel, kill, massacre  [p 329].

    In addition we get
     † bushido by  bar ≡ ancestry, lineage  [p 34] - the root of this term being Sumerian  bar..ta ≡ (there)after  [p 44] -

    in relation to the time order ( a mathematical order relation).
    The oldest ( as show both spears of Schöningen ) weapon of mankind, the

     # Ger, with  yar i ≡ spear of the Samurai  because of Akkadian  qurru ≡ man carrying a short spear  [ P&W p 89 ]

    may be added here also, given that there is an intermediate form with  g → h  in Oldindian [ KS Ger ] and hen­ce may have traveled to Japan with the Ossets. Obviously there was a tribe with the name Gu­reans, the main wea­pon of whose being a short-spear, i.e. a kind of pilum. That this word is Akka­dian follows from the cognate words for spear and arrow [P&W p 118].
     Since the association between war ( German Krieg ) - and not only hunt - and spear ( German Ger ) is very old (Schö­ningen) we also can take Akkadian  gerru ≡ Krieg  and  qarrādu ≡ Krieger  [ Par II p 433 ] for root.
