Notes

[If krī́ḍati, already in RV. (krī́ḷati, °ḷā́-, °ḷí- f., °ḷú-), is of non-Aryan origin (see in last instance A. Master BSOAS xii 363 and F. B. J. Kuiper Festschr. A. Debrunner 242: EWA i 279 with earlier lit.), then these forms may stem from the same source. If krī́ḍati is IE., it has crossed with these, e.g. Pk. kiḍḍaï, killaï ~ kīḍaï. Sk. kḗlati 'trembles' Dhātup., kḗli- f. 'amorous play' Mn., khḗlati 'shakes' R., khēlāyáti 'plays' Bhaṭṭ., khēli- f. 'sport' Gīt. may be connected. kṣvḗlati 'jumps, sports' R., kṣvēli-, °ikā- f. 'play' BhP. ac. to EAW i 296 is sanskritization of khēl-; but, although there is no form in NIA. with c̣h-, or ch-, Gy. eur. and arm. kh-, pal. k- (not x- and - < Sk. kh-) attest kṣ{v}-. H. helnā 'to play', if < *abhikhēl-, separates khēl- from kṣvēl- or represents a late cmpd. with MIA. kh- < kṣ{v}-]
