Hence, the root for the word Kata says more about language than the actual practice.

It's like saying "Fighting" comes from Old-English/Anglo-Saxon "Foehtan" which comes from the root-word German "Fechtens" and hence all English fighting is actually German...(?)
Nah, I was just implying how strange words come to be. How little many do not realise and tend to be "stuck on something", believing they have the "purest/original form" (General comment, not directed to anyone here.)

In addition, to try and stimulate conversation and stusious curiousity.
