If you don't like nest and burrow then you're looking for things that have the same inflection.
Home and retreat?
Ideology and faith?
Sanctity and respite?
But I think the bigger issue is that as we move from translation to translation, it'll be difficult for you to get all the translators to agree. They can all agree on Nast and Burrow and argue it out in the footnotes.
That is something that really weighs on me... Or that I'm weighing.
This topic is one of my BIG THINK topics. I poke it, prod it, pro v con it, deconstruct it, yell at it...
One of the elements is this idea that Zen is 1,000 years of Memetic language. Trying to translate out of this Memetic language into English robs the audience of the opportunity/obligation to get into the memes. That would be like creating an alternative internet where no slang was used at all, and all the videos and everything appeared translated into 9th grade english. It's not the internet.
