    There are some examples however, that point out the common origin of all IndoEuropean languages.
    When trying to decipher a Hittite cuneiform tablets, the word "Waatara" came out. That German linguist, whose name I don't remember ATM, correctly translated it into "Water".
    Bedrich Hrozný, who was Czech BTW.

    And to answer your question Aemilius Paulus, yes, it does appear that the word for sea in both Celtic and Slavic comes directly from the hypothesized Proto-Indo-European *måri.

    I got that from Gerhard Köbler's online PIE dictionary (http://dnghu.org/en/Proto-Indo-European%20dictionary/).

    It's in German, which I don't speak, but it's something very interesting to have nevertheless. If someone konws what I gave to be incorrect then please do correct.

    root mori/mari = sea. shown in most IE languages

    like, for example, fish. root pisc, grimm's law shifts p -> f, West germanic sk -> sh, fish. Also, "isk-" is shown as "ish" in English, "iscus" in Latin, "ikos" in Greek, "skii" in Slavic, as another example.
