Prakrit
Etymology
From older 𑀓𑁄𑀘𑀺(koci), from Sanskritकश्चिद्m sg(kaścid, “anything”), from कःm sg(kaḥ, “what, who”) + चिद्(cid). In Sanskrit, this sequence regularly undergoes external sandhi and univerbation (-aḥ c- > -aśc-). Middle Indo-Aryan masculine nominative singular 𑀓𑁄𑀇(koi) or 𑀓𑁄𑀘𑀺(koci) was probably formed by analogy to other inflected forms of 𑀓𑀺𑀁𑀘𑀺n sg(kiṃci), like 𑀓𑀸𑀇f sg(kāi) and 𑀓𑁂𑀇m pl(kei), on the basis that the Sanskrit masculine nominative singular ending -अः(-aḥ) regularly becomes Prakrit -𑀑(-o). Other literature attributes this to influence from Sanskritकोऽपि(kó’pi, “whoever, whatever”), from कः(kaḥ) + अपि(api).[1][2]
