بہت

• بہوت (bahaut, buhaut), بوہت (bauhut, bauhat, bohat, bohut) — eye dialect

Inherited from Sauraseni Prakrit 𑀩𑀳𑀼𑀢𑁆𑀢 (bahutta), from Sanskrit बहुत्व (bahutva, “muchness, abundance, multitude”), from Sanskrit बहु (bahu, “much, many, abundant”) from Proto-Indo-European *bʰenǵʰ- (“thick”). The development from a noun to an adjective was influenced by Prakrit 𑀅𑀳𑀼𑀢𑁆𑀢 (pahutta-), from Sanskrit प्रभूत (prabhūta, “come forth; abundant”). Compare Bengali বহুত (bohut), Gujarati બહુ (bahu) and Hindustani बहुत (bahut) / بَہُت (bahut). Doublet of بَتھیرا (batherā) and بَہُتیرا (bahuterā)
