Etymology

edit

An areal Kulturwort of obscure origin,[1] perhaps related to डिम्ब (ḍimba, egg, chrysalis) and, along with it, borrowed from Munda.[2] Cognate with Khotanese [script needed] (drāmma, pomegranate) and likely Middle Chinese 塗林 (MC du|drae lim, “pomegranate”), the latter considered not to be a Sanskrit loan by the Sino-Iranica.[3] If the Pashto دولنګ (doláng) is not a ghost-word, then also likely cognate.
