Dear colleagues,

Thanks to Victor D'Avella for providing me with the references I needed to survey opinion on the matter.

Best wishes,

Dear Indologists,

I have a quick question the answer to which I don't have time to track down myself, but I imagine someone on this list knows far better than I do.

Are the Greek terms for virtue, excellence (arete and aristos) connected etymologically with Aryan?

Thanks so much to anyone who can shed some light on this for me.
