Etymology
bn inc-obn -এর -era suffix, from bn pra-mag -𑀏𑀭, from earlier pra-mag 𑀓𑁂𑀭 postposition, from earlier *kāira, grammaticalized from bn sa कार्य কার্য work, aim, effect. Cognate with as -অৰ, mai केर, or -ର, and hi -रा in 1st and 2nd person pronouns (e.g. hi मेरा, hi तेरा). Related to bn কার্য and bn কাজ.
The form bn -কার occurs only after nouns and adverbs of time and place, and it may come from pra 𑀓𑀸𑀭𑀺𑀬, a semi-learned adaptation of sa কার্য.
