Talk:महाययति

RFV discussion: August–September 2021
No google books or any dictionary result. even mahī is not a root.

I can see why someone might record (a BHS noun) as the root of, but here we have an extra syllable. It's a shame isn't around to explain. --RichardW57 (talk) 02:07, 11 August 2021 (UTC)
 * The alleged word looks like this: mahā- (great) + i (root, to go) + -a (GHaÑ nominalization affix) -> *mahāya (noun) -> plus -aya- affix (deriving verb stem from noun, denominal verb) + -ti (P conjugation ending) -> *mahāyayati. This derivation is questionable in itself, and no matter whether a valid derivation per se, it doesn't necessarily makes it a real word though. --Frigoris (talk) 07:48, 11 August 2021 (UTC)
