Brahui
Etymology
Unknown. No Dravidian source is apparent.
- Bray suggests an Iranian loan by comparison with Persian گرده (gerde, “loaf, round thing”), Pashto (gird), but rejects this on the basis of gih.
- He then suggests Kui (India) (guṛi, “all, every”) as a potential Dravidian connection.
- McAlpin relates it to Achaemenid Elamite (ki /ki/, “one”), (ki-ir /kir/, “one (person)”) and says no Dravidian cognate exists.[1][2]
