I've read somewhere that "ma" means the same in English, Chinese, and Q= uechua.


Haven't you ever se= en the etymology  of {mamta}?;)
However, In Turkic and  = ;some Amerindian languages mother is [ina/ani]. It's not a universal thing.=



The Chinese word is one of at least six words in four different tones, = but in=20
all three languages it is reduplicated "mama". In Georgian, however, "m= ama" is=20
father and "deda" is mother.
