Serbian 'probati'
(attempt, try, taste; Russ. пробовать; Pol. próbować) is
clearly related to the verb 'probiti' (penetrate, break
through; Russ. пробить to punch, to hole; Cz. průbojník
puncher), because the one who is "breaking through" must
be the FIRST (prime, Serb. prvi, Russ. первый; Cz. prvni)
one to PROBE (Serb. probati taste) the new

.The name for
eagle in Greek is αετος/aetos and the same bird is named
aquila in Latin. Is there anything what connects these
two words? As we know, Greek aetos is derived from older
forms αιβετος/aibetos/aivetos, αιf-ετος or even υπ-αετος
/eagle, vulture/). This last mentioned name - hupaetos -
seems to be akin to Latin capio -ere (seize, take;
Serbian kupiti take, seize; kobac sparrow hawk).
