Hindi
[edit]Etymology
[edit]Inherited from Sauraseni Apabhramsa -इज्जै (-ijjai, indicative third-person present passive), from Sanskrit -यते (-yate), where the medial -y- has undergone -(i)y- > -ijj- > -īj-. Compare the more common -इये (-iye), where the medial -y- was possibly borrowed or reinserted at some point. The latter has influenced this verb, extending the ending to -iye.[1]
Pronunciation
