Dogma

Once in a while I get fixated on a word and try to understand why or how that word came to be. Dogma is one such. I mean coming from India its hilarious to see the possibility of this one. Dogma could translate to mother of Dog. Then there was a character in the famous Asterix cartoons called Dogmatix. Dogma can dog someone like me no end. If they clone a dog with a sheep maybe they will get a Dogma. Also tends to sound like a special form of Mediterranean food that comes on a stick. Or something wrapped in a grape leaf. Although defined as a belief held by religious principle this Dog just goes Ma - doggone it.
