Etymology
editInherited from Sanskrit उद्- (ud-)
Prefix
editud-
- Verbal prefix:
Usage notes
editBefore consonants, the 'd' assimilates to the following consonant. Indeed, the Pali grammarians rather viewed this prefix as u- followed by gemination. In this view, ud before a vowel would be u plus a euphonic -d-. The 'd' of 'ud' is preserved when the temporal augment is applied, as in the aorist udapādi of uppajjati.
