Sanskrit[edit]
Etymology[edit]
From Proto-Indo-Aryan *Hidʰá, from Proto-Indo-Iranian *Hidʰá, from Proto-Indo-European *h₁i-dʰe- (“here”).[1] Compare Pali idha, Avestan 𐬌𐬛𐬁 (idā), 𐬌𐬜𐬀 (iδa).
The form ihá was generalized in Vedic to conform with other place-based adverbs ending in -ha, whereas the Middle Indo-Aryan languages generalized -dha.
Pronunciation[edit]
Adverb[edit]
- here; in this (place)
- तेनेह न ― teneha na ― the rule does not apply here (literally, “therefore not in this case”)
- now
