Etymology

Inherited from Middle Gujarati च्यारि, from Old Gujarati च्यारि (cyāri), from Prakrit *𑀘𑀬𑀸𑀭𑀺 (*cayāri), from Sanskrit चत्वारि (catvā́ri).

More information

Compare the attested Prakrit 𑀘𑀢𑁆𑀢𑀭𑀺 (cattari). The alteration was probably based off the Sanskrit accusative चतुरः (caturaḥ) without a consonant cluster where intervocalic t > y is expected, but could also be an abnormal numeral phonological development.
