Gujarati[edit]
Etymology[edit]
Inherited from Old Gujarati मा (mā), from Sanskrit मातृ (mātṛ, “mother”), from Proto-Indo-Aryan *máHtā, from Proto-Indo-Iranian *máHtā, from Proto-Indo-European *méh₂tēr.
Noun[edit]
મા • (mā) f
Usage notes[edit]
- મા (mā) is used primarily for Amba, Shitala, etc., or for local goddesses, and carries a slightly more intimate/informal tone than માતા (mātā) as a suffix.
