Why do they change and vary? Why it is some of them rather than others that die out? Millions myths haunt and daunt those who trouble themselves in delving the answers. Countless accounts, theories, hypotheses emerged and submerged just as did the languages. Unfortunately even today these questions remains to be answered. (113)
