Hmm - don't think you are a reliable source of etymological information.
Krishna means "black". Christos means "anointed".
The IE roots are different. The krs-no- is seen e.g. in Slavic cerny (black). The ghrei- is perhaps seen in English grime. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
