Re: Sanskrit is the Origin of all Languages

Dear Vaisnavas,

      Nityananda Gauranga Hare Krishna! Continuing the sanskrit terminology in other languages.

   
• MANU, "man". After some reasearch, however, Oxford English         Dictionary has decided this etymology is incorrect. 
   
• MASTA, "weight" (MAST, a weight)
   
• MATRI, "mother" Latin. MATER (MATRICIDE)
   
• MI/MITA, "mete out, meter"
   
• MIIV, "move"
   
• MIKSH > L. MISCERE/MIXTUS (MIX, MISCIBLE, PROMISCUOUS)
   
• MRI, "die", akin to MRITA, "dead" > L. MORI,         MORTUUS         (MORTALITY, MORTICIAN; MORTGAGE, "death=pledge"). See MUR.
   
• MUR, "killer", akin to MRI, "die" (q.v.) (MURDER) .  See the demon 'Mura' in Srimad Bhagavatam and the name 'Murari'
   
• MUUSH, "mouse" , also used for MOUSTACHE in various language
   
• NA / NIH / NED, "no, not"
   
• NAKTA > Latin NOX/NOCT-, Ger. NACHT (NIGHT, NOCTURNAL)
   
• NAMAN / NAAM,  "name" As in Nityaananda Gauraanga Naam
   
• NAPAAT, "offspring, (grand)daughter, grandson" > L. NEPOS/NEPOTIS (NEPOTISM, NEPHEW)
   
• NAS, "nose" (NOSTRIL, NASAL)
   
• NAU, "ship" akin to NAVYA (NAVY, NAVIGATE, NAUTICAL) . Also see NOAH and Noah's ark
   
• NAVA/NAVAN, "nine" (NOVENBER, the ninth month of a previous calendar; NOVENA, "a nine-day devotional with         prayers")
   
• NAVA, "new"=Gr. NEOS=L. NOVUS (NOVELTY, NOVICE,         INNOVATE, RENOVATE; NAPLES/NAPOLI [Italy]: neos +         polis, "city")
   
• NU, "now", probably related to NAVA, "new"
   
• PAD, "foot"=L. PES/PEDIS (FOOT, BIPEDAL,         "two-footed"  PAD is pronounced like 'pudh' which became PED, Also see PEDAL as in bicycle PEDAL or PEDALLING, PEDESTRIAN, "foot-walker"; PEDATE, "having feet";   Other examples are ARTHROPOD, "joint-foot creature"; OCTOPUS,
   
• PAN~CHA, "five"=Gr. PENTA (PENTAGON, "five-sided         figure")
   
• PARA, "far; previous (in time) (FAR, FORE-FATHER)
   
• PARI-, prefix "about, near"=Eng. PERI- (PERINATAL,         PERIMETER)  Also note the prefix PRE- in English
   
• PATHA, "path"
   
• PHAL > Ger. SPALTEN, "split"
   
• PITRI, "father"=L. PATER (PAPA, PAPAL, POPE, also called Holy Father
   
• POSHA, "prosperity, wealth, abundance". Look at the term "POSH LIFESTYLE". Oxford English Dictionary offers POSH (noun), "money", perhaps         related to another noun, POSH (of uncertain         etymology): "The suggestion that this word is derived         from the initials of 'port outward, starboard home',         referring to the more expensive side for         accommodations on ships formerly traveling between         England and India is often put forward but lacks         foundation".
   
• PRA-, prefix "before, in front of"=Eng. PRE-         (PREHISTORY, PREDICT)
   
• PUU, "be bright,illuminate" > Gr. PUR/PURA, "funeral         pyre=L. PYRA (O.E. FYR, "fire"; PYROMANIA) .

There are still many words to come!
