ǰíi

Palula

Etymology

    Inherited from Sanskrit दधा॑ति (dádhāti), from Proto-Indo-Iranian *dʰádʰaHti, from Proto-Indo-European *dʰédʰeh₁ti, from *dʰeh₁-. Cognate with Shina [script needed] (doiki), Kalasha [script needed] (diem), [script needed] (ǵim).

    Turner instead derives the word from Sanskrit द्यति॑ (dyáti, to cut), but this seems unjustified due to ample cognates and a plausible palatalisation.
