Dear List,
This is what I meant to send to the list, and not just to Frank. Sorry for the little mistake.

Dear Frank,
I do think that "yogaslavia" may be the better reading here. On the other hand, the term "yogaslavia" may refer instead to the state of California, where I lived for nearly 20 years, and where yogaslavians outnumbered the state's two major political parties by far. And they still do.
So, is the first member of this compound a loanword from Sanskrit, or is it some kind of homonym of itself? And what exactly is the etymology of the second member?
In any case, after studying yoga for a few years in San Francisco in the 70's, I quickly realized that I was much more interested in words [Sanskrit ones, of course, among many others] than in asanas. And so I became a Vedicist instead of a yogin.
Best,
George
p.s. the new from Japan keeps on getting worser and worser.... it is vey upsetting!

Dear Colleagues:
As a postscript to our discussions on 'yoga' and its current state, the following advert appeared on the H-Net Announcements, you may note the
odd holdover that led the poster to give the location as Yugoslavia! Perhaps it should be Yogaslavia??
