Except they have alien grammar and phonetics... I kind of underestimated those. "Well, they're a branch of the Indo-European family," I thought, "they can't be that different." Except according to some sources they split off just after coming out of Iran, whenever that was... so, I mean, I'm looking for cognates and honestly, not finding any, apart from obvious borrowings from English. Oh, yeah, "cat" - "cath", I guess.
