[213] The name for _river_ in the Chitral or Little Kashghar vocabulary (Vigne, "Travels in Kashmir") is river = _sin_; also in the Dangon, on the Indus, voc. (_id._) river = _sin_; in the Affghan (Kalproth) the sea = _sin_d. _Sind_hu is the Sanscrit name for river (Max Müller, "Science of Lang.," 1st series, 215); and has also its equivalent in ancient Persian. In Danish, river or lake = _so_; in Icelandic, sjor (sjo); in Bultistan, touh; German, see; English, sea; in Kashmir, sar = marse; Icelandic, saus. Compare Rivers Saar, Soane, Seine, Irish Suir; perhaps also Esk and Usk (Vigne, "Trav. in Kashmir"). Horse = shtah, in Bultistan. Has not _so_ analogy with eau, augr (Chittral), _water_? _Sara_ = water in Sanscrit (Max Müller, "Chips," ii. 47); Sanscrit, vari, more generic term for water; Latin, mare; Gothic, marie; Slavonic, more; Irish and Scotch, muir (_id._) Compare Chinese "ma" = horse; Mongol, "mon" = horse; German, machre; English, _mare_. Conclusion, either there is the same word for horse and water in certain languages, which may have occurred in the way of secondary derivation from these "mysteries," or if _so_ means water, then "So-sin" may only be a reduplication, as in the names of some of our rivers--_e.g._ Dwfr-Dwy = water, of Deva = Dee-river (_Archæol. Journal_, xvii. 98). Bryant ("Myth." ii. 408) says "The [Greek: hippos], hippus (horse), alluded to in the early mythology was certainly a _float_ or _ship_, the same as the ceto." There is, moreover, the analogy in the Latin of _aqua_ and _equus_. Another Sanscrit word for water, "ap" (Max Müller, Sc. of L., 103) has analogy with the Greek [Greek: hippos] = horse. It appears (Sc. of L., 2nd series, p. 36), that the Tahitians have substituted the word "pape" for "vai" = water; but both words "pape," to _ap_, "vai," to _vari_, seem to have analogies to Sanscrit as above. Plato ("Cratylus," c. 36, Sc. of L., 1st series, p. 116) mentions that the name for water was the same in Phrygian and Greek. At p. 235, 1st series, Mr Max Müller says that Persian Harôya is the same as Sanscrit Saroya; which latter "is derived from a root 'sar' or 'sri,' to go, to run; from which 'saras,' water, 'sarit,' river, and 'Sarayu,' the proper name of the river near Oude." Here at any rate in the Sanskrit "sar," to run, we may, if the above conjecture is rejected, start the words "horse" and "water" from a common root.
