बर्कर
Sanskrit
Alternative forms
- वर्कर (varkara)
Etymology
Sanskritization of Prakrit *बक्क-र- (bakka-ra-). Perhaps related to बस्त (basta), बुक्क (bukka), Pali भस्त (bhasta) and maybe even Proto-Germanic *bukkaz (“buck”) and Classical Persian بُز (buz). All of these words are probably derived from a substrate language. The variance in form is perhaps via taboo deformation.
Pronunciation
