Piotr , how you see the sanskrit "okas" and romanian "acasã"?
For sure there is no connection even if this means in both languages
"home" since Romance is given from Latin "casa".

Just a little game:

romanian word for "home" ="acasã"= cf DEX (A3) +casã

A (3)=lat "ad".
casa= lat. casa

The simply question is why _must_ be it Latin "ad casa" in Romance
"acasa" and not sanskrit "okas"?
Let me guess why: because historicaly only Latin could give this word in
Romance.
Is this indeed so or just the only pertinent way to think from what we
know today? It can be an accident for sure Romance "acasa" = Vedic
"okas", but it can be something else too.
