English teetering (ON titra, Ger. zittern) sounds almost the same asIt can't be transparent if you made it up, it isn't obvious and
Serbian titranje (teetering, vibration, oscillation, seesaw,
tottering).
Is guitar (Gr. κιθάρα, Sp. guittara) related to teeter?
In Serbian the history of the word titranje is completely transparent:
it comes from the Hor-Gon basis,
contradicts the available evidence, and haven't proven it or explained
the contradictions.

trzanje (twitching), tresenje (shaking), teranje (drivng, chasing),
titranje, and a great number of other words are the clear-cut
derivatives from the Hor-Gon basis
"clear-cut" for anybody else that any particular word is derived from
it. See, you never fail to fall back on your misconception that if you
believe something strongly in your own fantasy, then it becomes clear to
everyone else.- Hide quoted text -

"circle"
(Slavic krug; Russ. круг; Cz. kruh; Gr. krikos; Lat. circus).What do you mean, "if" you invented it? It's entirely your creation.- Hide quoted text -
If I invented Hor-Gon it is pretty sure that I couldn't invent words
as circle, circulation, cruising, run etc.

I'm not an inventor and I make nothing up. I've just discovered the
main principles
"Discovered" means found by applying rigorous reasoning to observed
facts. If you substitute flights of fancy and far-fetched impressions
for rigorous reasoning (such as when you imagine that you can assume
sound X in one word in language A is related to sound Y in one word in
language B, justified solely because there is an X-Y connection between
languages C and D), when you contrive "facts" to fit the theory (such as
when you take two words some pretext for relating their meanings when
there isn't any real connection) instead of molding the theory to fit
the facts, the result isn't a discovery, it's an invention.
The modern linguistics sticks too much to the sound laws and regular
phonetic changes in order to prove the relatedness among different
words. It became a kind of "scientific" lunacy, because there are rare
(if any at all) phonetic laws that could be applied strictly, without
a great number of exceptions. For instance, you cannot take a
reduction (syncope) of the English word husband or Serbian gospodin
(gentleman, lord; Lat. hospita) to guest and host (Srb. gost guest,
gazda host)as a general rule, simply because there is no enough
similar examples. Finally, if you need phonetic rules to understand
that host/guest comes from hospit, then something is terrible wrong
with your reasoning.
