The Toast-makers'

CHALLENGE 

------------©------------

Of Toast, soup and dosa.

When for the first time I read the word 'सूप' in the Valmiki Ramayana, I at once knew, the English word soup  and the German : Suppe are but cognates of this  सूप ! Even the word Supper may be somehow related. Years ago, I heard a word "तोस" and even now, I often  come across this word, whenever see a child asking for the same. He means a toast / the rusk.

The Sanskrit word  तोष and  संतोष,  is used to indicate "satisfaction".

In the Tamizh, in the Kannad, the Telugu and the Malayalam too, as in these languages, the word "dosa" means a south Indian pancake and is used in the same sense. Maybe we can see that the word Toast, dosa are cognates of this Sanskrit word : तोष. 

I have no purpose of proving anything I just find this approach rather interesting.

Just for fun!
