Hindi मोटा
H. मोटा 'fat'; G मोटुं 'big, elder'. K. L. P. Ku. A.B. Or G. have corresponding forms with the meaning 'big', 'fat. (Turner, 10187(11))
मोट्टियार ‘boyish, laddie (< मोट्ट + comparative यर < Sk. ०तर) is attested from a tenth century text. (Śodh aur Svādhyāy, p. 185).
H. मोट, मोटरी bundle'. ( G. गोटमोट ' bundled up'). According to Turner मोट्ट > मोटा belongs to the defective group of words while e 'bundle' is connected with Sk. मूत etc. ‘basket’, ‘bundle’, ‘sack’ (Turner, 10233 (3), (6), (7))
I think *मुट्ट ‘bundle, sack' is the original word. * मोट्ट is its transform due to the tendency to change a post-nasal 3 to ओ (‘Some Topics in the Development of OIA, MIA, NIA', p. 75). This मुट्ट is the same as मोट्ट. A fat, big child or boy is referred to as a bundle' in light, humorous discourse (facetiously) (metaphorically ). Compare श्लक्ष्ण 'the tiny one > G नहानुं, M. लहान etc. 'smaller, younger' (Turner, 12732)
