Anima, αμίαντο

Following an idea i opened a Wikipedia page that put in my face for the first time the word antaryAmin, अन्तर्यामिन्, meaning soul in Sanskrit.

I quoted a few days or weeks ago from an answer on Quora which was basically argumenting that vedic Sanskrit is very close to hypothetical PIE. (Proto Indo European Language).

Here comes in hand a host of arguments that strengthen that idea, all related to the word above.

Composed of two Sanskrit words, Antary and Amin.

Antary maye have give birth in Europe to the following words

Interior in Latin

Entendre in French

Enter in English

Aminat to

αμίαντο (in the sense of indestructible) in Greek

Anima mea in Latin

Derived verb AminAti to

Amâna (delay, put aside) in Romanian

Am (first person singular verb to be) in English

Mean in English

Also figured from the same page (by the same luck) the second part of the etymology of the name Siddhartha -  siddhi (supernatural power) + artha (true sense).

And the origin of the word "sfat" (advice) in Romanian. sphoTa (in the sense of disclosure).
