पञ्जर

Etymology
Of origin.

Often taken to be from ; however, the nasal found in पञ्जर is difficult to reconcile with that found in supposed relatives like 🇨🇬.

Turner, in light of the word's relatives in vernacular Indo-Aryan, assumes an older form, from , from 🇰🇲, the latter component.

Probably related to 🇨🇬.
