मेरा
Hindi[edit]
Etymology[edit]
Inherited from Old Hindi मेरौ (merau), मेरा (merā), from Sauraseni Apabhramsa महेरौ (maherau), महारा (mahārā)[1], from Sauraseni Prakrit 𑀫𑀳 (maha, genitive singular) + Sauraseni Prakrit 𑀓𑁂𑀭 (kera) + Middle Indo-Aryan -𑀓- (-ka-). 𑀫𑀳 (maha) is from Sanskrit मह्यम् (mahyam, dative of अहम् (aham)), and further from Proto-Indo-Iranian *mábʰyam and Proto-Indo-European *me-. It is commonly confused and used as a genitive in Prakrit. 𑀓𑁂𑀭 (kera) is encountered in Prakrit and Apabhramsa as a possessive postpositional marker for nouns in genitive case. It probably derives from the Sanskrit root कृ (kṛ), possibly through metathesis in कार्य (kārya, “fit to be done > *belonging to”) > *kaira > kera. [2] Cognate with Assamese মোৰ (mür), Punjabi ਮੇਰਾ (merā) and Romani miro.
