Reconstruction talk:Proto-Dravidian/kōṭ-

@Aryamanarora Hey I'm pretty sure both the Telugu and Kannada forms are borrowed from Sanskrit directly in this case. DerekWinters (talk) 04:43, 13 August 2017 (UTC)

@DerekWinters: Is it possible the Sanskrit is borrowed from the Proto-Dravidian? The unusual double ṭ makes me think so. —Aryaman ^{(मुझसे बात करो)} 11:40, 13 August 2017 (UTC)

@Aryamanarora That's totally possible. But what I'm saying is that the modern Telugu and Kannada forms themselves look like Sanskrit loans. DerekWinters (talk) 13:55, 13 August 2017 (UTC)

Reconstruction:Proto-Dravidian/kōṭṭay

These are pretty clearly late learned borrowing from Sanskrit. @DerekWinters, AryamanA --{{victar|talk}} 15:43, 2 October 2019 (UTC)

Delete. Apparently, Proto-Dravidian was spoken quite some time before Sanskrit. HeliosX (talk) 15:52, 5 January 2020 (UTC)

On its origin

Proper title

BK does reconstruct it as kōṭṭay but as there are also forms like kōṭu, it would be better to reconstruct it as kōṭ- and then make kōṭ-ay, kōṭ-u as its descendants. AleksiB 1945 (talk) 07:17, 3 December 2023 (UTC)
