Etymology

    Inherited from Sanskrit เคธเค‚เคตเคคเฅเคธเคฐ (saแนƒvatsara).

    Noun

    ๐‘€ฒ๐‘€๐‘€ฏ๐‘€™๐‘€ญ (saแนƒvachara /saแนƒvacchara/) m

    1. (especially in the singular) year

    Usage notes

    Turner[1] notes that ๐‘€ฏ๐‘€ฒ (vasa) is almost always used in the plural (except when in a compound, which is where we find the lemma form usually), while the singular form is supplied by ๐‘€ฒ๐‘€๐‘€ฏ๐‘€™๐‘€ญ (saแนƒvachara). This suppletion is similar to the situation in Rigvedic Sanskrit, where เคธเค‚เคตเคคเฅเคธเคฐ (saแนƒvatsara) (and once เคชเคฐเคฟเคตเคคเฅเคธเคฐ (parivatsara)) is the singular and เคนเคฟเคฎเคพ (himฤ) is the plural.

    However, some Southern inscriptions attest ๐‘€ฒ๐‘€๐‘€ฏ๐‘€™๐‘€ญ (saแนƒvachara) in the plural as well. See Alternative forms for a detailed breakdown.
