How did Marathi & Konkani retrieve the if in the Prakrit it had already evolved to /s/? -- mādhavpaṇḍit (talk) 05:11, 10 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Also the case with 🇨🇬 from 🇨🇬. -- mādhavpaṇḍit (talk) 05:13, 10 November 2017 (UTC)
 * For Gujarati, સ and શ/ષ are, for the most part, in free variation. Thus, with the standardization of the language/spelling, the more etymologically correct form was probably chosen (compare, , etc.). In fact, the oldest Gujarati dictionary I have (under Goojratee on my home page) gives the spelling સીકવું. I might imagine a similar situation occurring with Marathi and Konkani. The 1900s were the greatest period of Sanskritization in quite a while for much of North India (I have little knowledge of the rest), and that would explain all the more "correct" forms being employed.

 * Also 🇨🇬. Bengali was the first Indian language to really Sanskritization during the Bengali Renaissance. But now that I think about it there is no /s/ in Bengali lol. —Aryaman (मुझसे बात करो) 11:22, 10 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Makes sense. I also had no idea advance and debt were hypercorrections. Thanks! -- mādhavpaṇḍit (talk) 11:46, 10 November 2017 (UTC)
