Reconstruction:Sanskrit/युट्

Etymology
Of uncertain origin. Possibly borrowed from a local non-Indo-Aryan substrate. This is supported by the fact some descendants have -ḷ- and -l- in place of the retroflex stop, like, which is common in substrate-origin terms.

Turner posits that all forms of this root may have originated from, which was a Middle Indo-Aryan replacement for , from , from ; for this, compare the development of. In this case, descendant forms with -ḷ- and -l- are from a collision with, from.

Regardless, descendants show that this root was influenced by ; compare, from this root, with , from.

Attested Sanskrit and  are almost certainly Sanskritization of the Prakrit forms.
