"मेण्ढ" meaning in All languages combined

See मेण्ढ on Wiktionary

Noun [Sanskrit]

IPA: /ˈmeːɳ.ɖʱɐ/ [Classical-Sanskrit]
Etymology: Etymology tree Proto-Indo-European *moysós Proto-Indo-Iranian *mayšás Sanskrit मे॒ष (meṣá)? Sanskrit मेण्ढ (meṇḍha) Unknown. Given the vast phonological variation and lack of usage in texts, probably borrowed from substrate. Related to भेड्र (bheḍra, “ram”), perhaps via the regular mh ~ bh alternation. Perhaps derived from मे॒ष (meṣá, “ram, sheep”), which is of Indo-European origin. A form like meṣ-ṭra undergoing Prakritisation could explain this term, but the exact suffix here is unclear. Per Kuiper, borrowed from Munda. Kuiper suggests a relationship to Pali meṇḍ (“crookedness”, root) and similar New Indo-Aryan terms referring to curved horns of animals. These he traces to Munda terms including Mundari [script needed] (meṇḍā, “curved and pointed to the head (horns)”), Ho [script needed] (mendā), Santali [script needed] (meṛha, “twisted backwards (horns of a buffalo)”). The rest of Kuiper's discussion on the etymology of the term is too speculative to list here. The "penis" sense may come from a collision and conflation with the etymologically unrelated मेढ्र (meḍhra, “penis (organ of urination)”); see there for more.

Given the vast phonological variation and lack of usage in texts, probably borrowed from substrate. Related to भेड्र (bheḍra, “ram”), perhaps via the regular mh ~ bh alternation.\nPerhaps derived from मे॒ष (meṣá, “ram, sheep”), which is of Indo-European origin. A form like meṣ-ṭra undergoing Prakritisation could explain this term, but the exact suffix here is unclear.\nPer Kuiper, borrowed from Munda. Kuiper suggests a relationship to Pali meṇḍ (“crookedness”, root) and similar New Indo-Aryan terms referring to curved horns of animals. These he traces to Munda terms including Mundari [script needed] (meṇḍā, “curved and pointed to the head (horns)”), Ho [script needed] (mendā), Santali [script needed] (meṛha, “twisted backwards (horns of a buffalo)”). The rest of Kuiper's discussion on the etymology of the term is too speculative to list here.\nThe \"penis\" sense may come from a collision and conflation with the etymologically unrelated मेढ्र (meḍhra, “penis (organ of urination)”); see there for more.",
