It will be observed that the same two varieties of fish are never found together in our Texts. This would seem to suggest that when the Proto-Indian formed a carative or a 'jangle' by the reduplication of the root, he avoided repeating the same vowel. The same tendency is observable in many languages, cf. English 'baby', French bébé, Italian 'bambino'.
