Sanskrit

Alternative forms

Etymology

Ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *h₁ówHdʰr̥ (udder), whence also the r-stem ऊधर् (ūdhar) which see for cognates.

Pronunciation

Noun

ऊध॑स् • (ū́dhas) stemm or n

  1. the udder of any female, breast, bosom
  2. the night

Usage notes

In classical Sanskrit the stem उधन् (udhan) appears only in the feminine of an adjective compound, while the original heteroclitic r/n paradigm has been preserved in Vedic; compare nominative and genitive singular ऊधर् (ū́dhar) ~ ऊधन् (ū́dhnas).
