"भाष्" meaning in Sanskrit

See भाष् in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Root

IPA: /bʱɑːʂ/ [Vedic], /bʱɑːʂ/ [Classical-Sanskrit] Forms: bhāṣ [romanization]
Etymology: Origin uncertain. Theories include: * From Proto-Indo-European *bʰel-s- (“to sound”), compare Lithuanian balsas (“voice”) and Latvian balss (“voice”). The retroflexion is in this case due to Fortunatov's Law. * From Proto-Indo-European *bʰeh₂- (“to speak”), compare Latin fās (“divine law”). The retroflex ṣ could either be onomatopoeic or to avoid homonymy with root भास् (bhās, “to shine”) (compare originally fully homonymous English flower and flour or German küssen and Kissen).
