Yes, I think that's it xD Diva and Deva are totally different.
Though I have noticed some neopagans use the word Deva in a similar way when talking about garden fairies. Which is...okay, I guess.

What's next? "Devam Leprechaunam"?
But, it's okay, I guess.
Devam leprechaunam tam aham bhajāmi? We are polytheists, after all!
A Buddhist might say Leprechaunam śaranam gacchāmi or Namo leprechaunāya. Notice my correct usage of the accusative and dative cases. :biglaugh:

Noted, and admired.
Already happened... ever watch the tv show 'Charmed'?
Jainarayana JiLithuanian is the closest of the IE languages to the original (proposed) PIE ancestor. Lithuanian has at least 14 nominal cases which is pretty much what PIE had. Lithuanian is as close as you can get to what PIE was probably like. Corutesy historical comparative linguistics.
As does 'Iran' (ee-rahn). It annoys me no end when people pronounce aryan as 'air-ee-an". At least try to get close with 'ahr-yun'.

pranam!
I am happy that I am finally talking with you:yes:
Can you clarify here about 14 nominal cases in Lithuanian? Because we know 8 cases of nouns in Sanskrit, and which seems to me just perfect.
I am very curious about comparative linguistics and will be eager to start a new thread in case you will be willing to teach me.

No problemo.Here's a better explanation than I could give. Lithuanian grammar - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia There are actually 7 according to this, with 4 locative sub cases, making it 11 in reality, not 14. I was a bit off. Otherwise it looks like they are in alignment with Sanskrit. The exception is the ablative in Sanskrit that Lithuanian does not have. Keep in mind I'm just a nerd and a geek who likes linguistics as a hobby.
