...

* I have come across similar instances before (can't recall any now) not 
* only word-pairs, but concepts having similar derivations in english 
* and telugu. Granted, if it is a peculiar aspect of life unique to telugu 
* or english culture, or technology may not have such similarities. But 
* perhaps, basic words and concepts universally occurring do have such 
* similarities.

I can think of such similarity-pairs conceivably occurring not due to any
unexplainable accident but rather due to the Indo-European roots of English
and the Indo-European source of much of tatsama-tadbhava Telugu vocabulary. 

My personal views.
