namaste smt.ReNUkA and others.

Ref: ReNukA's post #12:
Its a beauty to unravel the origin of each word.

"There is no grammar without literature, just like there is no oil without the sesame-seed", says the oldest Tamizh text tolkAppiyam.

Would this aphorism apply to the evolution of Sanskrit?

• Yes, when you look at the origin of the word kaga as ReNUkA has explained, it is easy to surmise that this word could have come from the common man.

• But obviously, hRudaya could have not come from the common man. In the absence of study of human anatomy by dissection in the days of yore, only a seer could have understood the function of the heart and named it for the organ.

Evolution of Sanskrit as language of religion and literature is indeed a wonderful mystery!
