___ eel loach or Pangio ___, a new species of eel loaches described from the
Southern Indian state of Kerala, is the first subterranean species of eel
loaches. Pangio is a genus of freshwater fish in the loach family, and several
of the loaches have become increasingly popular among aquarists.As for its
naming, it all happened over breakfast in a coffee shop in Kerala, when Ralf
Britz, the man who co-authored a paper describing the species was having
breakfast with two of his colleagues and he saw a row of packs of an Indian
snack, which had on an image of its contents on the outside.“It hit me and I
said to my colleagues, ‘what is this, this looks like our new species
of Pangio’,” said Britz. “They told me it is called ___, a common snack in
India, to which I replied that this would be the perfect name for our new
fish.”This is because the individuals of this fish are tiny, one of the
smallest Pangio species, and when preserved they are slightly curved.

In the 19th century, Haug pioneered the idea that the term X is
linguistically related to the X' of Indo-Iranian people and pre-
Zoroastrianism era. In both religions, X' of pre-Zoroastrianism ( X of
Hinduism), Y'( Y) are found, but their roles are on opposite sides. That
is, X' evolves to represent the good in pre-Zoroastrianism, while X
evolves to represent the bad in Vedic religion, while Y' evolves to
represent the bad in pre-Zoroastrianism, while Y evolves to represent
the good in Vedic religion. This contrasting roles have led some scholars
to deduce that there may have been wars in proto-Indo-European
communities, and their mythologies evolved to reflect their
differences.
