etymology

[edit]

@Agamemenon I see you updated the etymology here, but this derivation from *gʰrēy- (“to smear”) seems to be only an invention by IP-user 73.243.86.64, whose only 'mission' was to connect घृ to χριστός. How घृ would come from a root with 'y' is also not clear. Exarchus (talk) 20:18, 13 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

Now I think I understand what the result of PIE *y was supposed to be: the Hindi pronunciation of घृत ... Exarchus (talk) 23:04, 1 November 2024 (UTC)Reply
