Re: proof that most etymologies are only fairy-tales

A pregnant mammal bears. A pregnant woman gives
birth to a child. Magdalenians, I claim, placed their
newborns on a fur in order to keep them warm,
preferably a bear fur. Young mothers may have
carried their babies around in a bag made of a bear
hide, bearing the newborn outside her body. And
all these words - to bear (inside and outside the body),
birth, German gebären Geburt, ancient Greek byros
English fur, and a bear as provider of a warm and
soft fur - would have come from Magdalenian BIR
designating the fur whereon a newborn was laid.

And not only that, it would have been a *brown* bear's fur that would have been preferred by the Magdalenian mothers, strengthening the connection even further!

Now, people, don't killrate me!
