I think Lakota Indians call those teepee, in Finnish Lappland
it's called 'kota', perhaps related to Sanskrit 'koTa' (~kaw-ta).
(In Finnish, 'koti'[~kot-ty] means 'home'). Note that in the
meaning 'shed, hut', 'koTa' is encountered only in lexicons (L.)?!
1 koTa m. (g. %{azmA7di}) a fort , stronghold (cf. %{koTTa}) Va1stuv.
xi , 28 ; a shed , hut L. (cf. %{kuTI}) ; curvature (fr. %{kuT}) W. ; a beard
L. ; a kind of diagram (?) ; (%{A}) f. Pa1n2. 3-1 , 17 Pat. ; cf. %{a-} ,
%{amara-} , %{devI-}.
That might be an "additional proof", that Bal Gangadhar Tilak
was right when he conjectured that the Vedic culture as described
in the Rgveda (especially hymns to uSas [dawn]) originates
from quite far North... LoL!
"The Arctic Home in the Vedas is a seminal work on the origin of Aryans
presented by Lokmanya Bal Gangadhar Tilak, a mathematician turned astronomer,
historian, journalist, philosopher and political leader of India during 1880 to
1920. It propounded the theory that North Pole was the original home of Aryans
during pre-glacial period which they had to leave due to the ice deluge around
8000 B.C. and had to migrate to the Northern parts of Europe and Asia in search
of lands for new settlements. In support to his theory Tilak has presented
certain Vedic hymns, Avestic passages, Vedic chronology and Vedic calendars
with interpretations of the contents in detail. The book was written at the end
of 1898 but was first published in March 1903 in Pune.
