[Facts] Re: Aarav
You mean to say it is kind of a "Sanskrit way" of calling " an Arab." Funny...isn't it. I wonder if this helps you with something http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What_is_the_meaning_of_the_word_'aarav'I have these thoughts of converting "California" to "Kelipoorna" (that could mean playful in Sanskrit) and stuff like that.I wondered why the Frisbee was getting bigger, and then it hit me.

But I do not know where they got the Sanskrit meaning from. It is not in the dictionary, the halant is almost certainly incorrect, and I have never seen it used with that meaning in Sanskrit. So, I am not sure that Sanskrit meaning is correct. (Yes, changing other words to Sanskrit pronounciation is a very old habit: the Greek names of the constellations were re-pronounced in Sanskrit as I describe on my page http://tanmoy.tripod.com/naksatra.html#solar)
