The original post implied, but did not state, that Romanian had "preserved"
an original meaning, also found in Sanskrit. By saying "there is no need",
I mean that the logic is flawed, and nothing compels us to believe that such
preservation is the only way the current situation could have arisen. The
usual, normal, simple explanation works fine: Romanian (mostly) derives
from Latin.
