Proto-Dravidian : *anc-
Meaning : edge, border
Proto-South Dravidian: *anc- Notes : Compared with Old Indian añcala- "edge" (< añc- "to bend, etc."), but it is strange that the resonant suffix is not found in Dravidian. Either the Dravidian forms reflect a different verbal derivative that has not been preserved in Indo-Aryan or the resemblance is accidental. // Present in 2/6 branches.
