सृक

Etymology
From, from , possibly from , from , possibly related to and 🇨🇬. The final ka in sṛká can be obtained if one hypothesizes an athematic PIE noun *sl̥ǵ that would yield due to devoicing of final consonants, followed by its reanalysis as a thematic noun to give sṛká. However, given that Proto-Indo-European *ǵ yields Sanskrit j instead of g, an innovation can be considered, or a borrowing from some centum branch of Indo-European.

Monier-Williams suggests a derivation from the Sanskrit roots which in turn derive from PIE *selǵ: or, and also proposes a derivation from an obsolete root.

Noun
