Etymology

Inherited from Old Hindi हमारौ (hamārau), हमारा (hamārā),[1] via metathesis from Sauraseni Apabhramsa अम्हारौ (amhārau), अम्हारा (amhārā), from Sauraseni Prakrit 𑀅𑀫𑁆𑀳 (amha) + Sauraseni Prakrit *𑀓𑀸𑀭 (*kāra) + Middle Indo-Aryan -𑀓- (-ka-). Further inherited from Sanskrit अस्मे (asmé, locative of वयम् (vayám, we)), from Proto-Indo-European *n̥smé (us). See मेरा (merā) for more details on the development. [2]
