well, don’t forget that Sanskrit “the refined language” was codified by Panini in the 6th century BC, but Vedic Sanskrit is older. Perhaps Vedic Sanskrit and Avestani Persian are the original Indo-European?

I must confess to being very impressed that Freepers know so much about Sanskrit, of all things!

I have no doubt that there must be someone or other on this web site who reads Babylonian, Medieval Chinese, and/or speaks fluent Basque...

Yup ~ but Hindus start out wearing good shoes. Jains go barefoot. This dude made it to England!

I give the edge to the Jains for rugged individualism.

Just talking about ‘em makes me want to dump milk all over statues for some reason.

Great, now I’m hungry.

Which ~ thinking about it ~ there at Point Nac (whatever nac means, "car" means "point", for which reason, in Brittany, 'ker' means "house of".

It is conceivable that Jains and adherents to other Indian religions may have thought of far distant CARNAC (filled to the brim with megaliths) as an object of religious veneration.

There are not enough cows for Carnac's stones!
