Create in English, Krit in Sanskrit, ecrit in French. Death is Mrit in Sanskrit, and morte in French. Is is astu in Sanskrit, Ast in Farsi (if I recall correctly).

  Death is "Merg" in Farsi, which sounds similar to "morgue". You're correct about "ast".

  In French, "écrit" corresponds to "written", not "create". Stays relevant somehow. "Create" translates to "Créer".

Isn’t Farsi a daughter language descended from the Proto-Indo-Iranian language family? A little off topic: I remember reading this interesting oddity connecting the Avesta and Vedic religions. Quoting from source [0] > Pandemonium is Jaan Puhvel’s word for the mutual demonization that occurred when Zarathustra demonized the Gods of the Sanskrit speakers, and the Sanskrit speakers (Rig Vedic priesthood) demonized the Gods of the Zoroastrians (Avestan speakers) in turn. Conspicuous examples are the Devas and the Ashuras. Sanskrit speakers referred to the Devas as good Gods and the word devi, deva is a word for ‘a god, any god,’ whereas the Ashuras are demons in later Sanskrit literature. The Zoroastrians used the word ahura (cognate with Sanskrit ashura) as a word for ‘a god, any god,’ and Ahura Mazda is their highest God, whereas the daevas (cognate with Sanskrit devas) were demonized.
