Etymology edit

From Proto-Indo-Aryan *śūcī́-, and cognate with Persian (suzan, “needle”); the palatal fricative ś was changed to an alveolar s, perhaps from contamination with स्यू (syū, “alternative form of सिव् (siv, “to sew”)”). The Indo-Aryan root is further derived from Proto-Indo-European *ḱeh₃- (“to sharpen”), and connected with शूल (śūla, “lance, stake”); see there for more cognates.

Pronunciation edit

(Vedic) IPA^(key): /suː.t͡ɕíː/
(Classical Sanskrit) IPA^(key): /ˈs̪uː.t͡ɕiː/

Noun edit

सूची • (sūcī́) stem, f
