Cardemeister you just tie yourself in knots with your
misunderstanding of Sanskrit and Indo-European. You are all still
working with outdated 19th century etymology. What a joke !
You and Vaj are completely boxed in and cannot get around it.

To say that the word `puja' means `worship' is like saying:
"Church" means "Christianity"
"Avatar" means "a person's cartoon version on the internet.
or
"Yogi" means "old bearded guy with beads around his neck".
It is childish, absurd, lacking in accuracy, unintelligent, and
misinformed.
