Veda comes from the Sanskrit word 'Vid, which means "know in Sanskrit and has the same forme e meaning with Albanian language word *di/know. That's the end of the word's etymology. No other European language has the words *di and *vetedije/consciousness.
Who does not accept this etymology simply because they you don't want Albanian to show the origin of the word. There are a lot of Europiane language words similiar or even identical with *Veda like voda, vita, vedere, but those words cannot be cognates with Veda although they have similar or identical forms, because they have different meanings from *Vid.
The rules of etymology are two:
1) Two words should match their forms (letters)
2) Two words should match the content, the meaning
In this case, only the Albanian words *di/know and *vetedi fulfills the two conditions
