Prakrit

Etymology

Of substrate, perhaps Munda origin. Compare Bodo Gadaba [script needed] (koɽi, “twenty”), Mahle kuri, Juang କୋଡି (koḍi), probably the same as the word for "man" (in the sense of having 20 fingers). Dravidian terms like Kurukh कूरी (kūrī), Malto कोड़ि (koṛi), and Kui (India) କୋଡେ (koḍe) are also borrowed from Munda. This term is separated from Prakrit 𑀓𑁄𑀟𑀺 (koḍi, “crore”) / Sanskrit कोटि (koṭi, “crore”) by Turner and eventually by Mayrhofer; for the argument that the meanings of "twenty" and "crore" are related, see कोटि (koṭi).[1][2][3]
