Similarity to Semitic languages
Interestingly enough, in semitic languages "knowledge"-related words are represented by root "y-d".

So, 'ey-da - knowledge, information,

and with 'v-y' substitution

"vedeti" - "I verified" - in today Hebrew "yadati" - "I knew" - in today Hebrew

Perhaps, this particular root comes directly from the Proto-language :)


 * Proto-Semitic *yadaʿa "knows" doesn't strikingly resemble Proto-Indo-European . Beware of contrived resemblances ... --Florian Blaschke (talk) 22:07, 3 December 2018 (UTC)
