My point was that Giacomo was not giving the meaning of
this "latin" word "petra"...
Does "petra" mean anything in latin? I don't know and I
would like to know.

Regarding the Sanskrit etymology, I don't know; I accept
your opinion. But I feel that "petra", "Petros", "Pedro" etc
are much closer to each other than to the ancient origin
VAJRA.
