Prakrit

Etymology

From older 𑀘𑀼𑀪𑁆𑀬𑀢𑁂 (cubhyate), from an unattested root *𑀘𑀼𑀪𑁆 (*cubh) (compare *𑀘𑀼𑀁𑀪𑀇 (*cuṃbhaï, “pierces”)) of uncertain origin.

Turner suggests a relation to the family of extensions of the root Sanskrit स्कु (sku).[1][2] Most of these are speculative, but a comparison to क्षुभ् (kṣúbh, “a push, blow”), क्षुभा (kṣubhā, “weapon”), क्षुभ्यति (kṣubhyati, “to tremble”) is worth consideration.

Verb

*𑀘𑀼𑀩𑁆𑀪𑀇 (*cubbhaï) (Devanagari *चुब्भइ) (intransitive) (Proto-New Indo-Aryan)[3]

  1. to be pierced
