VMs: one more way ... speculating wildly toward India

[mesinik@xxxxxx]

After all, we could hope to get some results by typing "almost sure" VMS-words
in Google.
I tried "chor dar okar", and got 2 places not directly related to the VMS:
http://www.jkp.org/literature/leela_madhuri/4.Leela%20Madhuri%20dictionary.pdf
http://www.apnaorg.com/guestbook/guestbooko5.html
it seems, the language  of these both takes us to the Indian "subcontinent".
one more link about "Chor"
(it is in BBC today, the people in a Bangladeshi village Hogglar Chor are doing
something and "Chor" means some kind of riverside terrain):
http://newsvote.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/programmes/crossing_continents/4270657.stm
What are they speaking in Bangladesh? (Okeey, Bengali of course, but more? Where
is located this Chor-Char-stuff? Is it "original" Bengali?)

so, if we walk in these directions, one more interesting link:
http://rupestre.net/tracce/pakist.html
scroll down, the 5th pic has pretty sunwheels on it. From the text we read,
between the Buddhist & Islamic periods we had a strange Paganist (probably a bit
Zoroastric) time there. Well, this is certainly some centuries too early for the
VMS ... but maybe somewhere in the mountains (or just behind some peaceful
corner) it could do? Could it be possible somewhere in eastern Afghanistan,
Kashmir, Tibet? These sunwheels and more or less strange (it depends how much
you can "read" these) flowers are pretty common in Paganist-, Zoroastric-style
folklore in many places, incl. in Southeastern Europe.

Now, how could the Italian-style literacy walk around there? In XV or XVI
centuries, I still think, it could come from the (already disintegrating) Mongol
empire, but it is pretty mysterious anyway...
