Brahui

[edit]

Etymology 1

[edit]

Inherited from Proto-Dravidian *key (“to do”). Cognate with Tamil செய் (cey), Kannada ಕೈ (kai).

Burrow and Emeneau suggest influence by Sindhi ڪَرَڻُ (karaṇu, “to do”) and Baluchi کنگ (kanag, “to do”) to explain k- instead of the etymologically expected x-.[1] McAlpin goes a step further and rejects the Dravidian etymology entirely, instead deriving the term from Northwestern Indo-Aryan or Northwestern Iranian.[2]

Verb

[edit]

کَنِّنْگ (kanniṅg)

  1. to do
  2. to make
  3. to feign oneself
  4. to seize, affect (of illness)

Etymology 2

[edit]

Inherited from Proto-Dravidian *uHṇ (“to eat, drink”). Cognate with Tamil உண் (uṇ). Doublet of ہُڑِنْگ (huṛiṅg, “to suck”).

Burrow and Emeneau suggest influence by Sindhi کائِڻُ (khāiṇu) to explain k- instead of the etymologically expected x-.[1]

McAlpin relates the term to Achaemenid Elamite [script needed] (kúm-ba-ka4 /⁠kumbaka⁠/, “it has been eaten”).[2]

[edit]

  1. to eat
