Etymology

Inherited from Prakrit *णिव्वाहइ (ṇivvāhaï)—for which compare णिव्वाहण (ṇivvāhaṇa, completion) and णिव्वाहिअ (ṇivvāhia, completed)—from Sanskrit निर्वाहयति (nirvāhayati). Cognate with Punjabi ਨਿਬਾਹੁਣਾ (nibāhuṇā) and Pali निब्बाहति (nibbāhati). Compare निर्वाह (nirvāh) and निर्वाहन (nirvāhan). By surface analysis, नि- (ni-) +‎ बाहना (bāhnā).
