Prakrit
[edit]Etymology
[edit]Unknown. If not the source of Sanskrit चप् (cap), चर्पट (carpaṭa, “lying flat, palm of hand”), चर्पटी (carpaṭī, “flatbread”), चपेट (capeṭa, “slap with open hands”), चर्वन् (carvan, “slap with open hands”), and चिपिट (cipiṭa), all these words are probably of the same substrate origin. Compare Pashto [script needed] (ċapaq) and Ormuri [script needed] (čapâγ, “slap with open palm”).
