The "strange palatal alternation" of the root's final consonant suggests a borrowing from a non-Indo-European language, perhaps the BMAC substrate due to the root's presence in both Indic and Iranic. Alternatively, it suggests contamination from similar roots, such as *dʰrúkš(“lie, deceive”), whence द्रुह्(druh, “injury”), and *gʰawȷ́ʰ-(“to hide, conceal”), whence गुह्(guh, “to conceal”).
