Dear Group,
  

    http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?term=lade&allowed_in_frame=0

     Above website gives the following etymology:

"lade (v):
Old English hladan (past tense hlod, past participle gehladen) "to load, heap" (the general Germanic sense), also "to draw water" (a meaning peculiar to English), from Proto-Germanic *khlad- (cognates: Old Norse hlaða, Old Saxon hladan, Middle Dutch and Dutch laden, Old Frisian hlada "to load," Old High German hladen, German laden), from PIE *kla- "to spread out flat" (cognates: Lithuanian kloti "to spread," Old Church Slavonic klado "to set, place")."

My question is why a proto germanic etymology is sought when the buddhist text Divyadan has "lrd"
