There are some interesting words which might have some historical significance.

Lingayat
The word tells about itself:
Ling+a+ yat
"a", is again negation for word "yat" as a "Ling"
This word may have its origins in response to hundreds of tribes moving into Indian subcontinent from northwest of India.

While "Ling" represents "Shiva" , the Hindu god of destruction.
"Yat", seems to represent people of "Mir" culture or migrants to the Indian subcontinent.
In due time there would have been downward and upward movement of local tribes and the tribes out of Indian Subcontinent. There might have been some similar sounding words but majority of the words of out of Indian subcontinent origin can still be traced back to root words and words that even existed in BC era. A similar case has been shown in case of our discussion related with "Median tribes", and the name "Archimedes". The word "Archimedes", although of Greek and Roman origin seems have its origins in central Asia/Eurasian plains.
