Brahui
Etymology
Inherited from Proto-Dravidian *ol-k- with regular assimilation of -l- in clusters.[1] Cognate with Kurukh (olᵒxnā, “to cry”), Tamil ஒலி (oli, “to sound, clamour”).
Bray suggests an onomatopoeic origin, but this is unnecessary in light of the Dravidian etymology.
Verb
ہوغِنْگ (hoġiṅg)
- to weep, cry
- Synonym: پِلِکِّنْگ (pilikkiṅg)
