akku > aṡ > paraśu in East other Indo-European Languages (1)
Turner’s A Comparative Dictionary of the Indo-Aryan Languages says Sanskrit word paraśu- means “axe.” He provides the cognates of paraśu- in other East Indo-European languages and dialect:
Pali and Prakrit parasu-; Hindī parsā, parsiyā; Sinhalese porova; Maldivian (dialect of Sinhalese) furō.
Further, he hypothetically says paraśu- is also denoted as pharaśu-. In this case, the cognates differ in other Indo-European languages and dialect as follows:
Pali and Prakrit pharasu-; Kumaunī and Gaṅgoī (dialect of Kumaunī) phars; Nepāli pharsā; Bengali and Hindī pharsā; Gujarāti pharśī; Marāṭhī pharas and pharśī.
All these cognates of paraśu- and *pharaśu- originate from the Tamil root akku.
