单词 लाना
释义

लाना

See also: लेना and लिनु

Hindi

Etymology

Two theories, or conflation of both:

  • A reduction from the light verb construction ले आना (le ānā) with the same meaning, explaining the lack of an ergative marker for its subject as आना (ānā) is intransitive. Compare Punjabi ਲਿਆਉਣਾ (liāuṇā) which more transparently is a lexicalized light verb construction, preserving the original vowels. Nepali ल्याउनु (lyāunu), Gujarati લાવવું (lāvvũ) may also reflect the same. This is the more likely etymology, examining the cognates.
  • Inherited from Sauraseni Prakrit 𑀮𑀸𑀤𑀺 (lādi), from Sanskrit लाति (lā́ti), from the root ला (, take). The root ला () is attested relatively early, in the Śatapatha Brāhmaṇa.[1] It is also present in Pāṇinī's Dhātupāṭha. A relation to लभ् (labh, to gain) may be justified as readaptation through Middle Indo-Aryan.
