This one similar word group "KAD'/KAND" may explain a range of Ural Altaic & Dravidian terms dealing with;

1. marriage ties, mate
2. community, clan, tribe, family
3. feelings/love
4. tribe, tribal group, clan
5. house, home, family
6. back, sheltered area, boundaries (of land)
7. tribesman, warrior

While they are not usually reconstructable as from a single root, it seems that in a conceptual sense they are similar enough in a general sense to ultimately be from an earlier common word which in various context meant a range of these meanings. As a group the main root words look like this.

	Meaning\Lang	Sumerian	Dravidian	Uralic	Altaic
1	Marriage/woman	GAŠ-an	KUT-a	*KAD'-we	KAT-un
2	Tie/bind	KAD	KATTU	*KIT-ke	ÇAT
3	Feeling/care	KIAG	KÓTI (joke)	*KENT	KED-ir
4	Clan/collective	KUD/ HU	KUTTU/KUTIR	*KUNTA	KAT-Il
5	house/family	GUD	GUDI/KUTI	*KAT	KAT/KOTA

7	warrior/man	GÙD 2/GIŠ	KANTAN	*KONT/KAC'A	- /KOCA

These are illustrated with examples in the following lists. From south to north and to the east the root word for clan-home is *KAD' in the U.A and Dravidian languages which share many basic words, similar agglutinative language structure, lack of pronoun gender, and many shared suffixes.

In traditional Hungarian stories it is often the one who sacrifices
for others who is considered to be the hero, rather than the one who
makes a big splash to be noticed. It may be that this became a specialized meaning in Ugrian. Unfortunately I have few reference books on Altaic, and the local libraries are also worthless on this subject so the few words I was able to collect derive predominantly from second hand sources and fellow language enthusiasts.
