Reconstruction talk:Proto-Dravidian/kōṭ-

Hey I'm pretty sure both the Telugu and Kannada forms are borrowed from Sanskrit directly in this case. DerekWinters (talk) 04:43, 13 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Is it possible the Sanskrit is borrowed from the Proto-Dravidian? The unusual double ṭ makes me think so. —Aryaman (मुझसे बात करो) 11:40, 13 August 2017 (UTC)
 * That's totally possible. But what I'm saying is that the modern Telugu and Kannada forms themselves look like Sanskrit loans. DerekWinters (talk) 13:55, 13 August 2017 (UTC)

These are pretty clearly late learned borrowing from Sanskrit. -- 15:43, 2 October 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete. Apparently, Proto-Dravidian was spoken quite some time before Sanskrit. HeliosX (talk) 15:52, 5 January 2020 (UTC)

Proper title
BK does reconstruct it as kōṭṭay but as there are also forms like kōṭu, it would be better to reconstruct it as kōṭ- and then make kōṭ-ay, kōṭ-u as its descendants. AleksiB 1945 (talk) 07:17, 3 December 2023 (UTC)
