Etymology of

 * Unsure. Msasag (talk) 15:57, 26 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Where did you get the etymon as ? See here, though it’s just a lexicographic rather than linguistic work; but see this entry for other Magadhan cognates. Do you not think শালিকা is closer to सारिका? (But then *শালিক would have been expected, perhaps…) - ⸘ - dictātor · mundī  16:46, 26 May 2021 (UTC)


 * शलाका is present in spoken sanskrit dictionary. I added the etymology in 2017 when I didn't have much knowledge on etymology. Msasag (talk) 16:55, 26 May 2021 (UTC)
 * शलाका is indeed a Sanskrit word, but my question was: did you find it from a source that says the Assamese word is descended from it? If not, then would you mind if I change the etymon to सारिका, शारिका?

 * I don't think I found it in such source. And śārikā seems to be a better source. You can edit it. Msasag (talk) 07:41, 27 May 2021 (UTC)

, is শালিকী an alternative form of শালিকা as shown here, or is it from a different source (or perhaps representing a suffixed form of the original word)? - ⸘ - dictātor · mundī  16:54, 27 May 2021 (UTC)


 * শালিকী is a feminine form. Msasag (talk) 17:08, 27 May 2021 (UTC)
