اڑتالیس

Urdu

Etymology

From a corruption of Apabhramsa अठतालिस (aṭhatālisa) in which the aspirated unvoiced stop ठ (ṭha) was deaspirated and voiced as ड (ḍa). Further from Prakrit 𑀅𑀝𑁆𑀞𑀢𑀸𑀮𑀻𑀲 (aṭṭhatālīsa), from Sanskrit अष्टाचत्वारिंशत् (aṣṭā́catvāriṃśat).[1]

More information

Compare Punjabi ਅਠਤਾਲ਼ੀ (aṭhatāḷī) / اَٹھتاࣇِیہہ (aṭhtāḷīh), which retained the earlier Apabhramsa ठ (ṭha) between अ (a) and त (ta). Also compare Gujarati અડતાળીસ (aṛtāḷīs), Prakrit 𑀅𑀟𑀬𑀸𑀮 (aḍayāla) and Prakrit 𑀅𑀟𑀬𑀸𑀮𑀻𑀲 (aḍayālīsa), which have undergone a similar sound change.
