Smiths/Kavi-s in the Sarasvati_ Sindhu River valleys

[Guest guest]

I suggest that the kavi-s (Arthur Christensen, 1925, The smith Kaveh

and the ancient Persian imperial banner, Journal of the Cama Oriental

Institute 5: 22-30 [tr. JM Unvala from the Danish original, 1919])

are the same kavi-s also mentioned in the R.gveda.

 

Anyway, Kalibangan is an archaeological site on the banks of River

Sarasvati_.

 

Like Prof. Misra, Prof. Kuiper has also dealt with Aryans in the

Rigveda (1991, Aryans in the Rigveda, Atlanta: Rodopi (Leiden Studies

in Indo-European 1) -- who had absorbed substratum words.

 

Here is an URL:

Rebus representation of blacksmith, anvil, fire altar, goldsmith's

furnace

 

This claims to read a complete inscription of the Sarasvati Sindhu

Civilization.

 

The key lexemes are:

 

d.han:gra

d.haka

bakhor.

kan.d.

 

What language family do they sound like belonging to? Mundarica?

Sanskrit? Linguistic Area of ca. 3rd millennium BCE in the Sarasvati

Sindhu river valleys?
