Yin and Yang could also be symbolic presentation of two very different culture and societies. The comparison is between night and day, darkness and sunlight, etc. This could also mean war between two different civilizations. As this is a "Traditional Chinese", concept, it could very well have its roots in ancient tribes living in ancient China, Mongolia, central Asia, Siberia, etc. Ancient tribal migration from the north and their struggle with the southern kingdoms could have been depicted in this form. Light could have depicted these tribes and the darkness could have depicted the southern tribes. This could very depict two very different civilizations in ancient times.

hmmm,,,,so, the date goes back to 4th and 3rd century BC,,,,,
So, the time stated seem to be connected with ancient tribes of central Asia, Mangolia, Siberia, China, etc.

It seems that word "Tao", came with 4th century "Scythian invasion", while this is the one word which is present from out of India inform of family relationship as well.
No other word of ancient origin in form of family relationship is present in present day language.
Now there is a father of Tao.
Which for sure is not "Dada", as this word seems to coming from religious/ Indian origins and not linguistic or ancient origins i.e. BC context.
The word "Dada", does not seem to go beyond Himalayan range and seems to connected to Indian religious context.
Whereas "Tao", seems to have more ancient origins.
This might show difference between religion context and ancient migration context.

We can see that word "Tao", has carried on in its purest form, but the words which might be similar are not true, rather a case of integrating native tribes, to form bigger alliance.
This example can be see from ancient stories like "Ramayana", which show two different characteristics, one a person from south of India, who is a king and learned Priest and another a roaming person searching for his lost wife.
Stories like "Ramayana", is an example of war/clash between two different civilizations.

The word "Janghu", seem to be coming from IndoEuropean roots of ancient tribes living in ancient Eurasia.
Interesting, how close are the words:
Jen, Yuan, Jan, Yan
Spoken form comes first. Does this have to do anything with ancient history,migrations and traveling of tribes?

The word seems to be "Jan Hun", which is also spelled as "Yan Hun", in ancient tribal context "Hunnish", people were horse riding nomads of Eurasia. While in religious context "Yan", means an Aeroplane. It can again be a case of religion using identity of migrating tribes to create new identities and myths.
Lot of the things that have been talked about might not be in knowledge or view of people in the reference//history/linguistic context etc., as India is a country heavily influenced by religion and money power. It is good to understand history in scientific and archaeological view
Another interesting word:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yankee
V. S. Agrawala [1] writes that Administrative Officers in Panini included Duta – The Dūta or emissary was named after the country to which he was deputed. The term Pratishkasha also denoted a messenger. Couriers were called Jaṅghākara (III.2.21), corresponding to Jaṅghārika of Kautilya (Arth, II.1, p.46) .
Reference 1. V. S. Agrawala :India as Known to Panini, p. 410
Laxman Burdak
Seem to be one of the outdated works. Lot of such works that have been written on Indian history(including references) are not as ancient as the tribal migration dates that have been proved through archaeology and science, It is also a known fact that Indian subcontinent has been heavily influenced by religious thought process.

Shantanu ji here you forget that V S Agrawal is a reputed authority and writing on India as known to Panini. Panini lived in 6th century BC. What ancient reference older than this do you have ?
