Note 218 — Chapter VII · THE GODS AND THE SONS OF GOD
Reading edition
Taylor, op. cit., p. 129. See also p. 133: “That the Aryans before the linguistic separation were still in the Stone Age may be inferred from the fact that no Aryan etymology has been found for the word ‘metal.’... There is no common word in Aryan speech to denote the art of the smith, and many of the words relating to his trade refer primarily to stone.”
