𑀮𑀼𑀝𑁆𑀝𑀇

Prakrit

Etymology

Uncertain. 𑀮𑀼𑀝𑁆𑀝 (luṭṭa, “robbed”), 𑀮𑀽𑀟𑀇 (lūḍaï, “robs”), 𑀮𑀼𑀁𑀝𑀇 (luṃṭaï, “robs”), Kashmiri لوٗٹُن (lūṭun), Pali 𑀮𑀼𑀞𑀢𑀺 (luṭhati), and लुण्टति (lúnṭati) are all of the same origin. Tedesco proposes 𑀮𑀼𑀝𑁆𑀝 (luṭṭa, “robbed”) < 𑀮𑀼𑀢𑁆𑀢 (lutta, “hidden”) < लुप्त (luptá) as the origin, but Turner doubts this.
