History and Etymology for celibate + My comments: Sanskrit and Arabic

Note: The traditional hypothesis that caelebs goes back to a compound *kai̯elo-libh- (with the first element compared to Sanskrit kevala- "exclusively oneʼs own, alone, whole" and the second to Gothic liban "to live," English live entry 1) is now considered dubious.

I think Sanskrit and Arabic are the roots of all languages. I think Sanskrit should be revived. It's a treasure trove -- would undoubtedly change the way we think and all that. Moreover, like Arabic, it's a very sacred language.
