ऋभु

Etymology
Presumedly from, from , but of uncertain origin:
 * Perhaps from, the same source of 🇨🇬 and 🇨🇬. (See .)
 * Perhaps a derivative of . Compare 🇨🇬 (whence 🇨🇬). This supposedly points to the original mythical sense in which elves or craftsmen gods were luminous heavenly workers, thus given the name “white one”, later interpreted in Sanskrit as “skilled one”. The connection with the Germanic mytheme of elves is further said to be supported by cognate poetic formulas, such as “chariot made by craftsmen” as an allegory of the sun; cf. 🇨🇬. The root is otherwise absent from Indo-Iranian.
 * Alternatively non-Indo-European, such as from a pre-Indo-Aryan language; however, this is highly improbable due to the presence of a syllabic consonant ऋ in the word, a characteristic of Indo-European words.
