Prakrit 𑀧𑀳𑀼𑀘𑁆𑀘𑀇 (pahuccaï)

From 𑀧𑀳𑀼𑀢𑁆𑀢 (pahutta, “strong, sufficient, reached”) +‎ -𑀅𑀇 (-aï), by analogy with verbs of the type 𑀫𑀼𑀢𑁆𑀢 (mutta) ~ 𑀫𑀼𑀘𑁆𑀘𑀇 (muccaï). See there for more.

Some descendants trace back to *𑀧𑀳𑀼𑀁𑀘𑁆𑀘𑀇 (*pahuṃccaï), by analogy with verbs like 𑀫𑀼𑀁𑀘𑀇 (muṃcaï) as in the set referred to above.

Alternatively, Chatterji posits an originally aspirated *𑀧𑀳𑀼𑀘𑁆𑀙𑀇 (*pahucchaï), from Sanskrit *प्रभूच्छति (prabhūcchati, literally “to continue to be forward or towards (smth.)”), from प्र- (pra-, “forward”) +‎ भूच्छति (bhūcchati, “to continue to be”), from Proto-Indo-Iranian *bʰuHšćáti, from *bʰuH-. However, aspiration is only attested in the Bengali descendant and so may be secondary from the loss of -h-.
