Pronunciation edit
Etymology 1 edit
Originally the genitive case of अहर् (ahar), from Proto-Indo-Aryan *Háźʰr̥, from Proto-Indo-Iranian *Háȷ́ʰr̥, from Proto-Indo-European *h₂éǵʰ-r̥ ~ *h₂ǵʰ-én-s (“day”). Cognate with Avestan 𐬀𐬌𐬌𐬀𐬭 (aiiar, “day”) and possibly Proto-Germanic *dagaz (“day”), whence English day.[1][2][3][4][5]
