I think we are attempting to split hairs over nothing. Just because another language differentiates between a house and a home, and Oxomiya does not, one does not need to go into a fit of grabbing at Sanskrit words that few use. For us 'ghor' is a ghor--a house and a home too. The difference lies in HOW it is used in a sentence. There are many such nuances to all languages. The differentiation lies in the usage.
