There are about 108,000 temples and mosques in India where flowers are offered every day, before being dumped in landfills or bodies of water, contributing to the country’s ecological damage. But this company in Kanpur is giving flower waste a second life. Story by @soulrestless.bsky.social:

Currently editing something in which I am using the colonial English spellings for Indian place names, because I am writing in English about colonial India.
But I'm sorry, I just cannot bring myself to spell Kanpur "Cawnpore".

This got me wondering if the Hindi/Sanskrit -pur is the same root (Jaipur, Raipur, Kanpur etc.)
And it is! -pur is fort/stronghold, and thought to be derived from the same PIE root as -buri and -bury.

Another example: "knowledge." Greek "γνώ" as in gnosis, Sanskrit "ज्ञा" as in jnana, and English "kno" as in know/ledge.
