==Inspiration==<br />
''Atar'' can be compared to Greek/Latin ''pater''. <br />
<br />
In Gothic and Celtic branches the Indoeuropean initial p- was lost thence we have forms similar to ''atar'', like Irish ''athair'' (from Proto-Celtic ''*ɸatīr'') and [[Gothic]] ''atta''.<br />
<br />
Note also Turkish ''atto''<br />
