<p>Both mean hello,shalom in Hebrew and assalam.. in Arabic</p>
<p>Dare!!</p>
<p>Hour or Hora</p>
<p>"Hour or Hora"</p>
<p>again ?</p>
<p>well, Hora is the ancient(3000 year old)Sankrit word for hour.Interesting ,no?</p>
<p>(h)ora is how we say hour in Greek =)</p>
<p>and Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, and similarly in French. Must've been the happenin' word of its time! Lol.</p>
<p>What about cash?
It is called karsha in sanskrit..</p>
<p>no it's heure in french... Of course same indoeuropean root but in the Greek - Sanskrit (I think it's SanSkrit not Sankrit) it's exactly the same =))</p>
<p>Well....What about Champoo and Shampoo</p>
<p>cash, from: Portuguese caixa, from Tamil kacu, a small coin.
Tamil: A member of a Dravidian people of southern India and northern Sri Lanka. </p>
<p>now does karsha come from kacu? I don't know, but it sounds like we have a common root here</p>
<p>Yeah, hence why the word is "similar." ;) Except their root is Latin, which probably borrowed the word from Greek. Yeah, I can't wait to take a linguistics course or two in college. It's so interesting :)</p>
<p>most latin words come from Greek and (<em>I think</em>) some Greek words have Indian roots somehow... hence the term indoeuropean. If I'm wrong please correct me!</p>
