सूची

Borrowed from Sanskrit सूची (sūcī́). Doublet of सुई (suī).

• (Delhi) IPA^(key): /suː.t͡ʃiː/

सूची • (sūcī) f

1. list, catalogue
2. (chiefly in compounds) needle

From Proto-Indo-Aryan *śūcī́-, and cognate with Persian سوزن (suzan, “needle”); the palatal fricative ś was changed to an alveolar s, perhaps from contamination with स्यू (syū, “alternative form of सिव् (siv, “to sew”)”). The Indo-Aryan root is further derived from Proto-Indo-European *ḱeh₃- (“to sharpen”), and connected with शूल (śūla, “lance, stake”); see there for more cognates.

• (Vedic) IPA^(key): /suː.t͡ɕíː/
• (Classical Sanskrit) IPA^(key): /ˈs̪uː.t͡ɕiː/
