Brahui

Etymology 1

Inherited from Proto-Dravidian *key (“to do”). Cognate with Tamil செய் (cey), Kannada ಕೈ (kai).

Burrow and Emeneau suggest influence by Sindhi ڪَرَڻُ (karaṇu, “to do”) and Baluchi کنگ (kanag, “to do”) to explain k- instead of the etymologically expected x-.[1] McAlpin goes a step further and rejects the Dravidian etymology entirely, instead deriving the term from Northwestern Indo-Aryan or Northwestern Iranian.[2]

Verb

کَنِّنْگ (kanniṅg)

  1. to do
  2. to make
  3. to feign oneself
  4. to seize, affect (of illness)
