TIN     TIN
Making bronze may have developed in Southeast Asia.
The earliest bronzes found so far are from early second
millennium BC, Ban Chiang, Thailand. (Malaysia, Thailand,
& Indonesia still produce more than half the world's tin.)
    The Caucasus, with abundant metal deposits, worked copper
thousands of years before others; independently
developed its own trading networks. Did they keep words that
related to previous copper experimentation?

"The word "tin" has cognates
in many Germanic and Celtic
languages.
The American Heritage Dictionary
speculates that the word was
borrowed from a
pre-Indo-European language."


"The Early Bronze Age
and the Middle Bronze Age
used a different metal,
an alloy of arsenic and copper.
Only in the Late Bronze Age
do we see the real bronze alloy
of tin and copper."

(Wikipedia on Tin)

* James D. Muhly: Sources of Tin
and the Beginnings of Bronze
Metallurgy, 1985:
"Mesopotamian texts . . . describe
the addition of AN-NA/annaku
to URUDU/eru
in order to produce ZABAR/siparru
or, in other words,
of tin to copper in order to make bronze."

However:
Hebrew: bronze = ahrad
[related to Sumerian: urudu ?]

Hebrew: copper = nahtseht
[related to Sumerian: annaku?]

Hebrew: tin = bdyl, ba'atz; paht (pahteet)
[related to Sumerian: zabar/siparru ?]
[& cf xi, juseog, siak
in Chinese, Korean, Hakka
& sdyr - Arabic]

And compare:
[[hy:Անագ]] = Anag
[[hu:Ón]] - a link to (t)on group?
