    Sanskrit *मच्यते (*macyate)
    Prakrit 𑀫𑀘𑁆𑀘𑀇 (maccaï)

    A conflation of two sources:

    • Denominal verb of 𑀫𑀢𑁆𑀢 (matta, “drunk, intoxicated”) + -𑀅𑀇 (-aï), with the former element from Sanskrit म॒त्त (mattá). The verb is modelled analogically on pairs like 𑀲𑀺𑀢𑁆𑀢 (sitta, “poured, sprinkled”) ~ 𑀲𑀺𑀘𑁆𑀘𑀇 (siccaï, “to irrigate”).[1] Doublet of 𑀫𑀚𑁆𑀚𑀇 (majjaï).
    • Inherited from Sanskrit *मच्यते (*macyate, “to be produced”), a hypothetical passive verb from the root मच् (mac).[2]
