A list of puns related to "Dacians"
So on some wikipedia articles, they mention Massagetae and Getae as being related peoples, and what is this based on? Massagetae were Scythian peoples while Getae were Thracian peoples, and their etymologies aren't even the same. They also say that the Dacians and Dahae were related, yet I don't see how they could be. What's the modern concensus? They do sound similar, but again their etymologies don't match. Massagetae according to wikipedia comes from "Masjaka-ta" and means "Fisherman Nation" while Getae comes from a Celtic word meaning "Voice", and apparently serves as the root word for Thyssagetae, Tyragetae, and Massagetae, but links no source. The sources that are linked for mentions that "Getae" and "Massagetae" are connected are give absolutely no explanations why so that's why I have come to reddit to ask.
