[Facts] Re: Cool stuff Pavlos
theos also comes from *dhes-
*dhēs-, Proto-Indo-European root forming words for religious concepts. Possibly an extension of PIE root *dhe- "to set, put."
....according to mainstream PIE scholars...
this seems far-fetched to me... they want to deny that theos θεός and deus are related, so they invent a connection between god "to set, put" rather than "to shine" as is claimed as root meaning for deus.
