Janas?

It seems like someone took the word jana and appended an s to pluralise it, but I don't know Sanskrit so I am not sure whether this is actually the case. --Joshua Issac (talk) 20:37, 14 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I know some basic Sanskrit.

the word Jana actually refers to people, it is actually written janaH. Pada has multiple meanings, the primary of them referring to foot.It could also refer to a site or abode or home.So janapada translated correctly would mean "people's abode". Janapadas were what we call districts today. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Aquariangospel (talk • contribs) 03:05, 11 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I know that jana means people because it appears in other Indic languages, but I am not sure whether janas is valid, as the Etymology section of the article treats it as. --Joshua Issac (talk) 18:50, 7 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
