ah right on, probably true both ways when you go that far back. It gets a little fuzzy once you get into PIE territory but even anima can have connotations to wind/air so I assume they probably had some spirtualist/animist view of air/wind/breathing as an important/vital part of life. Anyway I was just curious cuz I like words and stuff.
I just googled "animal etymology," don't trust me

Understandable, and very neat
