Yep. They're both pretty close to the PIE base. Lith: Dievas dave dantis; Dievas duos duonos Sans: Devas adadit datas; Devas dat dhanas Latin: Deus dedit dentes; Deus dabit panem This was an example I found in a book on the Indo-Europeans. -- Dievas dave dantis; Dievas duos duonos God gave teeth; God will give bread - Lithuanian proverb ICQ: 18656696 AIM Screen-Name: NikTailor
