''The tongue spoken by the first Criș farmers in the East Carpathian foothills about 5800-5600 BCE was removed from the parent tongue spoken by the first settlers in Thessaly by less than a thousand years-the same interval that separates Modern American English from Anglo-Saxon. That was long enough for several new Old European Neolithic languages to have emerged from the Thessalian parent, but they would have belonged to a single language family. That language family was not Indo-European. It came from the wrong place (Anatolia and Greece) at the wrong time (before 6500 BCE). Curiously a fragment of that lost language might be preserved in the Proto-Indo-European term for bull, ·tawro-s, which many linguists think was borrowed from an Afro-Asiatic term. The Afro-Asiatic super-family generated both Egyptian and Semitic in the Near East, and one of its early languages might have been spoken in Anatolia by the earliest farmers. Perhaps the Criș people spoke a language of Afro-Asiatic type, and as they drove their cattle into the East Carpathian valleys they called them something like 'tawr-.16''
