the statement :​

Answer 1

Answer:

Of the arts and crafts of the Vedic period, some seem to have arisen undoubtedly before the Aryans came and settled down in the Punjab. Many nations of antiquity had made considerable advance in them, as would appear from the similarity existing between some words of the Sanskrit language and corresponding words of various Indo-European languages, denoting the same craft, industry or occupation.

Thus the similarity existing between Sanskrit Taksan and Zend Tashan and Greek Tektan all meaning a carpenter, proves the existence and development of the carpenter’s art among the Indo-Europeans before the separation. Again, when we come to discuss the origin of weaving, we find that the Sanskrit words Tan, and Tanti (string), Zend Tan, Greek Teina, Latin Tendo, all meaning stretching, are closely allied to each other.

For plaiting we have the Sanskrit root Pre, akin to, Greek pleko, and Latin Plico all similar in sound and in sense. Similarly, for weaving we have the Sanskrit root, Ve, Latin Vieo, Teutonic Weban, all akin to each other in sound and in meaning.
