Dear Lorraine ji, English is a language of Indo-European Language family and Sanskrit is the oldest language of this family; possibly one of the root/source language. English adopts the word roots either from Sanskrit, Greek or Lattin. So no wonder if you are looking at the root meaning of words, a Sanskrit (Indian) or Greek (Greece) expert may able to clarify it than a common English man. As far as the language experts (whether from US, UK, India, Greece or anywhere else), they are far better - and at least have the idea where to look for the correct info on such subjects. Love and regards,Sreenadh

Dear Sreenadh,

Thank you for your response to my inquiry. What you state is true in that other language experts provide a richer clarification of word meaning. You're correct in that I was looking for the root meaning of the word. I have periodically searched through the Internet for "name" meanings and have come up short perhaps for not searching in other contexts and languages.

I'm having difficulty following this list because of the language used to describe aspects, stars and the rest of astrology, and it's not that I am unfamiliar with sidereal astrology and fixed stars, it is more the Sanskrit language that I do not know.

Thank you again for your response. It is much appreciated.

Best regards,

Lorraine
