Etymology
What do you think about the etymology? śāvaka > chāka > chākar (somehow the r/l came) > chaur > chawar > sawal > sual (Poor arrangement though) Sagir Ahmed Msa (talk) 18:01, 21 February 2018 (UTC)
 * -r/-l extensions are quite common, so that's fine. But śāvaka(ra) would lead to sokrā in Hindi, not, so I don't think śāvaka will work. But Turner's dictionary reconstructs *chokara, and 🇨🇬 is a real word. —AryamanA (मुझसे बात करें • योगदान) 19:39, 21 February 2018 (UTC)

Sanskrit has another word and Assamese has its cognate. Sagir Ahmed Msa (talk) 07:12, 22 February 2018 (UTC)
