I've been wondering-- since you are evidently familiar with devanagari etc.,
are some of your words derived from Sanskrit (or later stages)?
Indonesian has "baca" [batSa] 'to read', presumed to have developed from
Skt. _vacayati_ 'speak', root /vac/ (?) 'voice' (Lat. vox). Or could it be
a "corruption" of _bhas.a_ 'language'??
