Humans are naturally curious animals.
A reward of curiosity is that as you learn more, things get simpler.
Jones realized, for example, that there was a relationship between the words
“bhratar,” “phrater,” “frater,” and “brother,” which mean the
same thing in Sanskrit, Greek, Latin, and English.
Many apparently unrelated languages of Europe and India could thus be brought
under the same roof and understood in a simple way.
