Etymology
[edit]Possibly from Sanskrit चकार (cakāra). By surface analysis, translingual ච (the letter) + kāra (term designating a letter or sound) etc.
Noun
[edit]cakāra m
- the letter 'c'
- c. 500 AD, Kaccāyana, Pālivyākaraṇaṃ [Pali Grammar][1], page 11; republished as Satish Chandra Acharyya Vidyabhusana, editor, Kaccayana's Pali Grammar (edited in Devanagari character and translated into English), Calcutta, Bengal: Mahabodhi Society, 1901:
- सब्बो ति इच्चेसो सद्दो सरे परे क्वचि चकारं पप्पोति
- Sabbo ti icceso saddo sare pare kvaci cakāraṃ pappoti.
- For all 'ti', this sound sometimes becomes 'c' before another vowel.
