Abstract

Taking into account different approaches to the interpretation of most ancient Aryan- (Indo-Aryan-) Finno-Ugric contacts, I discuss Ancient Indian mythonym Sarabha, which is often considered as an Ugrian loan-word. Actually, the Ob-Ugrian word for "elk" and the name Sarabha reveal only the outward and casual resemblance and cannot be connected historically. For Sarabha there are suggested probable etymologies from Caucasian and Western Asian languages, which might reflect Caucasian and Western-Asiatic contacts of the Indo-Aryans' ancestors on their way to India.
