Bingley
Good point. I suspect they are cognates (is that the right term?), but may not be through shared PIE roots. My suspicion is that the Southern Indian imperialistic forays over South East Asia, between 1500 and about 800 years ago (my history is very fuzzy about dates), led not only to Borobudur and the shadow puppet theatre with stories from the Ramayana, but also to some words from the languages used in India at the time - Sanskrit, Pali etc.
What do you think?
