Sanskrit áyas (65)
According to Monier-Williams’ A Sanskrit-English Dictionary, the word áyas means “iron, metal, an iron weapon, gold, and steel.” It is linguistically related to Latin œs, œr-is for œs-is; Gothic ais; Old German êr; Gothic eisarn; and Modern German eisen. It traces its origin to the Tamil root irumpu, and due to the ra > ya phonetic change, irumpu transforms into áyas in Sanskrit (irumpu > áyas).
