käryāñ
Tocharian B
Etymology
From an unattested singular form *käryā-, from Proto-Tocharian *käryā- (whence also Tocharian A kri (“will”)), from Proto-Indo-European *kṛd(i)yeh₂-, from *ḱḗr. Cognate with English heart, Old Irish cride, Latin cor, and Lithuanian širdis.
Usage notes
The usual Tocharian B word for heart is arañce; *käryā- appears to be an archaism attested in only one passage.
