[Os incae, blood-group O, and Boreic linguistic relationship (author' s transl)].

Human language consists of some strata. The deepest one is the pongid stratum represented by a rest of emotionally used clicks in standard languages but well developed in the archaic Bushman language and secondary from that penetrated into some other languages as Hottentot and Zulu by mixture. In these languages of South Africa, the clicks form a distinct system of initial sounds (Stopa 1971). The second stratum in all languages is given by the system of the global words (in German Globalwörter [Gipper 1972]) resulting from the spontaneously produced infantile sounds (in German Lallwörter) as mama, papa, nana, etc. In Indo-European, the reconstructed form *matér- "mother" is a derivative of mama, *peter "father" one of papa, where the first syllable only is used and lengthened by the suffix *-tér. Comparably one finds tamet (epsilon t-ame-t) "wife" from ama, eme "mam(m)a, mother" in Berber (where t...t is the so-called feminine bracket) and kmak (= k-ma-k) "male" from ma "father" in Khmer with the prefix-suffix-bracket k...k. The "instinctives" ma, pa, na, ka, ya, etc. are the same produced by all babies, but the meanings vary in different languages fixed by tradition.
