PIE-Karantus-versus-Turkish-Karındaş-aTry

Our book this time is "Vergleichendes Wörterbuch der Indogermanischen Sprachen"; by Fick, August, 1890


Indogerman root karaont- means: the loving one, devoted one, friend. 

As we can see on the pic above Gallic words Karantus, Karantillas, etc.; Welsh (Cymraeg) ceraint, cerynt, carant carantauc; Cornisch kerens sound like -Turkish- Karın-daş. 

Karındaş means simply brother, sister, sibling (German Geschwister).

*
And the next similar word on our pic:

The root Karate-s, Karatako-s means amiable, lovable.

In Turkish there's a very similar word, a version of Karındaş called Kardaş (older), Kardeş (actual). Gaulish Caratus, Irish Carthach, Welsch Caratauc, Breton Karadoc  , NewBreton Caradec are all 100 % compatible with Turkish Kardaş, as we can see on our pic above.

*

And now to our Turkish words and their meanings:

Both Karındaş and Kardaş have the same root (acc. to Nisanyan and Eyuboglu) => Karın meaning the belly, womb (German Bauch). Karındaş and Kardaş are the ones who are born from the same belly. 

In Turkey (nowadays and in ancient times) we call good friends always as Karındaş, Kardaş, Kardeş, all different versions of sibling (Geschwister). 


These both words Karındaş and Kardaş are related to each other or a version of each other.
