The case is already made without these notices. But with the case established, it’s special pleading not to see dispersal patterns in Dāśarājña names. Talageri connects Ālinas with the Greek Hellenes, and the Alans of Roman records. The point is not to folk etymologize Ālina, Hellene and Alan.

Artifacts of the past talk to us in silence, and we fill the empty spaces with narratives that are presumably rational, reasonable and well-substantiated.

Ṛta is derived from this by affixation or pratyaya- ṛ+kta (ऋ + क्त). This pratyaya denotes a sense of the passive past tense.
