Serbian PEĆI (PEKAO) does not have meaning 'cook' but
BAKE!

That's an obstacle for *you*? Baking and cooking are an
awful lot more closely related than many pairs of
concepts for which you've argued a connection.

I do not believe that any one knows what you wanted to say
above.

On the contrary, what he said is perfectly straightforward.
Anyone who thinks that there's a close semantic connection
between 'to roll about' and 'to swim', for instance, has no
business complaining about the comparatively small semantic
distance between 'to cook' and 'to bake'.

Cooking is cooking and baking is baking,

Rolling about is rolling about, and swimming is swimming.

Please, cool down and try to be logical and consistent.

As Harlan just pointed out, *you* are being inconsistent.
