On the word Tuath- it refers to clan or tribe and is seen to my knowledge in the West.
Root word “Teuta” finds its way into German with Deutsch, Teutonic, Theod. North Germanic with Tysk.. Italian with Tedesco. Latin Tribus. Irish Tuath. Lithuanian Tauto.
The latter may be from German Baltic colonization.
similarly, Slavic people use name derived from Suebi for Germans (Svabe), besides the official name that describes Germans as mute / not speaking people (Nemci)
this says that main Germanic tribe in contact with people from whom Slavs origin are Suebi, while for Italians, Irish?, and Balts those are Teutons...
but the name has clear single source...
so, with your examples, you actually enforce my argument instead of weaking it...
what I claimed is that all those names origin from single tribe and was used for people originating from that tribe later on, with some generalization to related tribes... in this case clear origin is Germanic Teuton tribe who is attested in history in 1st and 2nd century AD.
my argument is that there never existed many or even multiple tribes of unrelated origin carrying Teuton name to use that as an argument to claim that all tribes with Serb-like tribal names are probably unrelated... As I said Seneca made clear relation between tribes carrying Serb-alike names, spread of haplogroup I (I2?) indicates relation as well...
The root word “Ar” or “Aryo” is frequent in Iranian tongues. (Mentioned in Avesta, by Darius I, etc.) Some hold that it finds its way in to Irish “Eire” or “aire”/ Greek ”Aristos” or possibly “harma”/ Latin “ordo” I come across many meanings given such as referring to skillfully, or assembling or both. The Aryans (the group that went to India) seemed to have used it mostly to mean “us” .Various explanations given include that it referred to chariots (like “harma” and/or that those who used the vehicles were distinct or considered themselves nobles. Thus the apparent use to refer to "us".
yes, but that is much later in history than Aryans...
Aryan was identical with Iranian, and all IE people were Iranian (from Iran) in origin (if you go long enough in past)
again, there is a clear common source of the name...
If one doesn't think that shardana, seres, serians, siraces, serboi, serbs, sarbans, or sherden, may contain a common denominator root word then that is OK. I never intended to prove anything, just to offer up a thought after reading your post.
it is possible that some of those tribal names are unrelated... however, I see strong indication that they are related in writings of Seneca and in trail of haplogroup I...
Sherdana might indeed be related to proto-Sardinians, but they are I2a1 haplogroup and thus show distant (currently estimated to time 10 000 years before present) common origin with proto-Serbs who are I2a2, which indicates that tribal name origins from same source...
stretch of haplogroup I (most likely I2 and I believe I2a2) down the Levant and into west part of Arabian peninsula coincides with spread of tribal names Syrian/ Sabaeans/Sheba/Saba
while in Egypt lake named after "Sea peoples" is Serbonian bog... this is very strong indication for my claims...
stretch of haplogroup I in arc from India to China coincides with spread of tribal names Sarbans and Seres... Now, Seneca claims that Serians of Serica (Seres), Serians of red sea (Sabaeans), Serians of Caspian mountains (Serboi) and Serians of Europe (proto-Serbs?) are same people....
this, all together, is too much facts pointing into same direction to be discarded as coincidence...
Like I said, I am open to hear of possible alternatives for displaced Achaeans when we speak of "Sea Peoples". I am fully aware that they were not one tribe. My point there had been that they were likely the greatest component.
What I said is that Achaeans might have been (and in fact are likely to have been) one of the sea peoples (namely Akwesh/Ekwesh), but that sea peoples seems to has been about several (perhaps culturally unrelated) big tribes or proto-nations. I easily can guess that among them were Achaeans as Akwesh, Lycians as Lukka, Pelasgues as Pelast and probabbly proto-Serb related tribes as Sherdana... Sherdana are related to sea attacks, but I claim that those were attacks over Red sea whose controllers later became Sheba /Sabeans
position of those people coincides with spread of haplogroup I in west part of Arabian peninsula....
I am intrigued with possibility that Dorian Greeks and Pelasgues might have been also related to haplogroup I2a2 as proto-Serbs...
however, I have problems to imagine epic Troyan war next to Hittite state while it seems to me (correct me if I am wrong) that neither Hittite were mentioned by Homer, nor Trojan war, as epic monumental 10 year long battle, was mentioned in historical records of the Hittite which was strongest nearby country and which is according to chronology supposed to have collapsed few years after Troyan war and leaving some historical records from the times preceding its collapse... that is puzzling for me... so, I think that something might be wrong with dating or location of Troyan war... perhaps with location... as most often used dating seems to correlate well with mention of total eclipse of sun in story of travel of Odysseus (or Ulysses) after the Troyan war...
btw. there is in fact a Mexican philogogist Roberto Salinas Price who argues that actual Troy was in Hercegovina on Neretva river and that Homer's work was not originally made in Greek but in proto-Slavic languages
in fact, Homer was blind person who was singing epic songs... same cultural phenomena of blind people travelling and earning for living by singing epic poems about historic events (texts of songs are transferred from one generation to next) we have much later among Serbs...
e.g. Serbian epic poems were in fact written down by Vuk Karadzic (see
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vuk_Stefanović_Karadžić - inventor of Serbian 100% phonetic alphabet) who collected and written down lot of Serbian epic & lyric songs, stories, fairy tales and riddles, after hearing them from number of blind guslars (gulse is instrument explained here
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gusle) , one of them being Filip Visnjic
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filip_Višnjić
I do wonder if there was such a cultural phenomena among modern Greeks of blind people earning for living by travelling and telling epic songs about history events? It may as well be the case that this cultural phenomena origin from Greeks or other native inhabitants of Balkans, and was spread among Serbs only after settling in Balkans
