<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->My point was just in response to the connection between rathores and rashtrakutas.
This point is still debated. Some consider rathores scions of Jaychand of Kannauj and others consider them of rashtrakuta descent. I am still researching this point and have not reached any conclusion.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Yes, people have mentioned the etymological difficulty of deriving rAThauD from Skt rAShTrakUTa. However, there are records which describe the latter as rAShTrayodha. Hence, we have rAShTrakUTa = rAShTrayodha>rAThauD which follows a Middle Indo-Aryan formation.
However, the saMskrit vamsha kAvya from Bagalana which was under Rathod rulers before passing to the moslems clearly mentions the Gahadvalas and also the western Marwar branch as rAShTrakUTa mahAvaMsha. The ruler Pratap Singh of Bagalana is a much forgotten Hindu hero who defeated Akbar after a 7 year battle, whose history deserves a narration.
