तेरा

Hindi

Etymology

Inherited from Sauraseni Apabhramsa तेरय m (teraya), from Sauraseni Prakrit 𑀢𑀼𑀳 (tuha, genitive singular) + Sauraseni Prakrit 𑀓𑁂𑀭 (kera) + Middle Indo-Aryan -𑀓- (-ka-). The first element is from a variant genitive in Prakrit of Sanskrit त्वम् (tvam), and the second element is ultimately from Sanskrit कार्य (kārya), used as a marker of possession even in Prakrit, cf. का (kā, genitive affix). [1] Compare मेरा (merā).
