Regarding how-yes-no, I have nothing to say because you didn't listen in the past. You have absolutely no understanding of linguistic methodology, and have absolutely willingness either to understand it (I also remember your adament opposition to the very idea that Proto-Slavic adopted a lot of loanwords from Germanic and began to only fragment in the wake of the Migration Period, something which is generally accepted), and I think is pointless to continue arguing with you there.
you have nothing to say because all your arguments in previous post, regarding links in mythologies, turned out to be just your ego based belief without any support....
so you simply want to exit discussion in a way that makes you look above it.....
but I am not here to prove my worth or to lower your worth (you do that yourself) I was explaining alternative view on voyage of I2a-Din... idea that part of its history was as Celto-Germanic people is definitively an option... regardless of your linguistic arguments...
considering my objection to Germanic loanwords in slavic languages, I was not objecting existence and widespread of those, I was objecting those of your explanations that were biased and irational, divorced from logic....loanwords in slavic languages are easily explainable with assimilation of some Germanic speaking tribes...not by cultural and every kind of supremacy of Goths as you in your racist mindset have tried to put it...
well lets stop provoke each other.
How Yes no,
yes I2a Din might or indeed has connection.
the other choice is local native Balcan,
many times I support the Idea that Thracians were I2,
i think diversity of I2 would be higher there if that was the case....
Thracians were maybe R1a people... same as Russians...
I2a is complex... I think it was wide spread in area and was participating in genesis of ancient Greeks as well ...
for me it seems like I2a (Balcanic suclades) are connected both with Balkans and Ucraine,
those are frequencies... source of the clade (first man with mutation) is proposed to be somewhere in north Germany...
on the other hand making Celts I2a? hmmm
although I do not Deny, it is little difficult,
I do not say Celts were I2a
I say most of I2a2-Din people was at some point in history (around 1AD) considered Celtic or even Germanic people....
interesting case the I2a British Isles,
from Balkans to Britain? or tottaly different?
current hypothesys of Ken Nordvedth is from Germany to both...
but I was thinking it may have been from Balkan to UK e.g. by ships to Iberia and than by ships to UK... like Balkan Chelidoni became Kaladuni in Iberia and Caledonii in UK...
which can be traced back knowing about legend of origin of Scotish people
http://www.geo.ed.ac.uk/home/scotland/arbroath_english.html
interestingly, they have considered themselves as Scythians...
Most Holy Father and Lord, we know and from the chronicles and books of the ancients we find that among other famous nations our own, the Scots, has been graced with widespread renown. They journeyed from Greater Scythia by way of the Tyrrhenian Sea and the Pillars of Hercules, and dwelt for a long course of time in Spain among the most savage tribes, but nowhere could they be subdued by any race, however barbarous. Thence they came, twelve hundred years after the people of Israel crossed the Red Sea, to their home in the west where they still live today. The Britons they first drove out, the Picts they utterly destroyed, and, even though very often assailed by the Norwegians, the Danes and the English, they took possession of that home with many victories and untold efforts; and, as the historians of old time bear witness, they have held it free of all bondage ever since. In their kingdom there have reigned one hundred and thirteen kings of their own royal stock, the line unbroken a single foreigner.

pay attention to timing 1200 years after people of Israel crossed Red sea to west escaping their slavery in Egypt... as this happened 1400BC, it means that Caladunii sailed from Iberia to UK only at 200 BC, but they stayed before that for very long time in Iberia...
in Iberia in Celtic area of
Gallaecia next to the Caladuni you also find Celtic Seurbi and Helleni who were all probably part of same wave of colonization as Chelidoni...
it is comparable to collonization of Americas and Australia much later....

movement of people from Balkan to UK would account for similarities in myths, and would left genetic imprint...
e.g. that is much more likely source for unexpectedly increased E-V13 in UK and Portugal than settlement of Roman soldiers as S.Byrd proposed...
but could have also been the way in which I2a clades arrived to uk
what I proposed is same origin in some ancient history of Balkan Bryges and UK Brigantes... I suspected Bryges/Brigantes as in england (not in ireland) their position seems to match somewhat I2a2-isles spread on map of sparkey....it is known that Bryges did give Phrygians... Maciamo's map places hotspot of I2a in Phrygia& Galatia and also in area of Albania where we find Bryges...
but
if they carried I2a2 that became I2a2-Isles, their movement would have been much before historic times, before I2a2 differentiated into Isles branch...in fact, Bryges came to Balkan from Lusatia which is in Germany during late bronze age... hence Bryges could have been carriers of I2a2 to both UK and Balkan...
this means that myths and similarities I mention have came to existence before their migration to Balkan...
but myths are related to tuath de Daanan...
tribe of Dan...Tuatha de Danann myths seems to be very PIE and most similar to Celtic myths..
in fact Danann suggest link to ancient Greek tribe known as Danaans....
what I argued is the link between tribal names Brigantes/Bryges/Phrygians and Zoryani/Zeruiani/Serians and Danaans / Acheans... note that this is long time back in history.... tribal name can be cultural or religious issue, not necessarily same genetics, but in most cases there is also partly shared genetics...
curiously, Tuatha de Danann also relate their origin to Scythia as their first king is
Agnoman of Scythia
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tuatha_Dé_Danann
well, it is all just an idea... not well formed theory...
and I do not really have much time or interest to work it out...
but it would be nice if someone who knows more think of it...
