Etymology

Compare यदा (yadā́), कदा (kadā́). First element from Proto-Indo-European *to-. If it is a direct cognate of Lithuanian tadà (“then”), it should reflect a PIE word *todéh₂ (“then”),^[1] but this presents phonetic issues: see kadà.

Pronunciation

(Vedic) IPA^(key): /tɐ.dɑ́ː/
(Classical Sanskrit) IPA^(key): /t̪ɐ.d̪ɑː/
