Etymology edit

Inherited from Sauraseni Prakrit 𑀓𑀁𑀲 (kaṃsa), from Sanskrit कांस्य (kāṃsya, “made of bell-metal”). Sanskrit कंस (kaṃsa, “bell-metal”) would yield the same Prakrit term, but other New Indo-Aryan languages point to the long vowel.[1]

  • (Delhi Hindi) IPA(key): /kɑ̃ː.sɑː/, [kä̃ː.säː]

Noun edit

काँसा • (kā̃sā) m (Urdu spelling کانسا)
