Inherited from Ashokan Prakrit 𑀮𑀸𑀢𑀺 (lāti) (only attested in Eastern dialects), from Sanskrit रात्रि॑ (rā́tri).
The variation between forms with /tt/ and no medial consonant (from earlier /t/) originates in differing Old Indo-Aryan syllabification patterns; 𑀭𑀸𑀇 (rāi) is from */ˈɾɑː.t̪ɾi/, while 𑀭𑀢𑁆𑀢𑀺 (ratti) is from */ˈɾɑːt̪.ɾi/.
