Re: Re[6]: [tied] Economic analysis of Indian History: meaning of Ar

Scot,

Yes, your assumption is right wrt the semantics.

I repeat I have used the word cognates, knowing fully well the meaning of the word. It just did n't gel, thats all. So, no meaning in continuing discussion on that score.

Your refusal to help me is laughable to say the least. I can not see how discussion of economic meanings of a word has something to do with my basic or otherwise knowledge of linguistics. Any way, you were not helpful till now.

I hope the group will discuss on the economic meanings of the word Arya.

That's a very strange statement, in view of the fact that
you apparently want to discuss the semantic range of 'the
word Arya' -- specifically, whether that range includes any
economic senses. I assume that it really refers to my
comments on your misuse of the word 'cognate'. They are
hardly a matter of mere semantics, and I'm not inclined to
be particularly helpful to someone who can't be bothered to
learn to use even the most basic terminology correctly.

According to the references header, your post is a response
to one of mine, and I certainly have not given any such
thing.
