Etymology

From Lua error in Module:parameters at line 290: Parameter 2 should be a valid language or etymology language code; the value "psu" is not valid. See WT:LOL and WT:LOL/E., from Sanskrit अक्षवाट (akṣavāṭa, “wrestling-ground”) (Turner, Ralph Lilley (1969–1985) A Comparative Dictionary of the Indo-Aryan Languages, London: Oxford University Press). Compare Punjabi ਅਖਾਡ਼ਾ (akhāṛā) (likely a Hindi borrowing), Gujarati અખાડો (akhāḍo), Bengali আখড়া (akhoṛa).
