The relationship or common origin with Girnar Ashokan Prakrit 𑀫𑀳𑀺𑀟𑀸 (mahiḍā, “woman”) is unclear. Possible cognate with Khotanese mijṣe (“woman”).\nCompare Vedic मही (mahī́), महीलुका (mahī́lukā, “cow”), and the development of महिषी (máhiṣī, “female buffalo > a high-ranking woman (RV.) > first wife of a king (RV.)”) with महिष (mahiṣa, “buffalo, great”).\nDescendants with mē̆h- are probably due to influence from मेहना (mehanā, “woman”) and its descendants.",

The relationship or common origin with Girnar Ashokan Prakrit 𑀫𑀳𑀺𑀟𑀸 (mahiḍā, “woman”) is unclear. Possible cognate with Khotanese mijṣe (“woman”).\nCompare Vedic मही (mahī́), महीलुका (mahī́lukā, “cow”), and the development of महिषी (máhiṣī, “female buffalo > a high-ranking woman (RV.) > first wife of a king (RV.)”) with महिष (mahiṣa, “buffalo, great”).\nDescendants with mē̆h- are probably due to influence from मेहना (mehanā, “woman”) and its descendants.",
