Etymology

Bray proposes ہَلِّنْگ (halliṅg, “to take”) +‎ تِنِنْگ (tiniṅg, “to give”), i.e. "having taken give", ultimately from Proto-Dravidian.[1] Emeneau expands on this and gives the derivation *hal-tining > hatining, exhibiting a regular sound change of cluster simplification with l.[2]

McAlpin instead proposes a conflation of two source. He relates hat- "intend" to Middle Elamite (an-du-uk-ni /⁠andukni⁠/, “as was planned”), (an-tu4-uk-ni /⁠antukni⁠/, “as has been planned”).[3] He relates the "bring" meaning to Achaemenid Elamite (ha-du-ik-ka4 /⁠hadukka⁠/, “it has been harvested”) etc. and accepts a derivation from Brahui تِنِنْگ (tiniṅg, “to give”), but does not have an explanation for the prefix ha-.[4]
