ओग

Hindi

Pronunciation

• (Standard Hindi) IPA^(key): /oːɡ/

Etymology 1

Possibly inherited from Sauraseni Prakrit *𑀑𑀕 (*oga), from an earlier *𑀑𑀕𑀳 (*ogaha), from Sanskrit अव- (ava-, “off, away, down”) +‎ ग्रह (gráha, “seizing, taking away”). Derivation from उगाहना (ugāhnā, “to gather, collect”, verb) is less likely, as it is from Sanskrit उद्ग्राहयति (udgrāhayati, “cause to pay”, causative of उद्ग्रह् (udgrah, “to take away, pay”)), ultimately from the same root ग्रह् (grah), but prefixed with उद्- (ud-) (of which the Hindi descendant is उ- (u-), not ओ- (o-)) instead of अव- (ava-).
