2. -dr- (or *-dl-) >-11From IAL we note the following instances (with some comments) :
(1) TAL 1340 ĀRDR- 'wet' : Pkt. alla- : Hindi ala etc.
(2) JAL 2057 UDRA- 'water' : Pkt. ulla-, olla- 'wet'. Apabhramba uhavai (with -lla- > - Iha-) is a denominative from ulla, and Gujarati olavvì holavvù presupposes olhava-,
(3) IAL 2061 * UDRICYATE, UDRECYATE is poured out": Pkt. *ulliccai, Gujarāti ulecvů etc.
(4) IAL 2064 *UDRUDHA- “risen' > Pkt. ulladha(5) IAL 3732 KȘULLA- < KȘUDRA
(6) IAL 5005 CHALLI- 'bark’. Turner thinks that CHALLIalong with *CHILLA- and *CHOLL- are of non-Aryan origin, but *chadra- *challa- covering' can well account for CHALLI-.
(7) Pkt. chilla- *hole' <IAL 5043 CHIDRA-, JAL 5051 *CHILLA-To this can be added Pkt. ucсhilla- *hole' (Pischel § 294)
(8) IAL 7972 PALLI - 'small village, IAL 7780 PADRA'village". Compare Gujarati "vali, "ol. Coli (endings of many villages names).
(9) IAL 9408 BHALLA- 'auspicious', 9377 BHADRA-“fortunate, Gujarati bhalù etc.
(10) IAL after 9782 MADRA- 'name of a country', 9908 MALLA- 'name of a people'.
Now Pāṇini's Astādhyāyi records madra- 'joy, happiness' (2.3. 73), and madrakara-, madrakära- 'causing joy or happiness (3.2.49). So Pkt. malhai ‘moves sportively', malhaņa- 'playful, rejoicing', Skt. MALLÄRI- 'name of a Rīga' (IAL 9912); Hindi malhar(< malhaära , mallakāra-, madrakāra-); Gujarati mahālvu to rejoice by participation'all can be satisfactorily explained.
