Etymology 2
hi past :inh pra:-𑀇𑀅<alt:-इअ><id:-ed>
hi inc-ash sa inc-pro iir-pro ine-pro 5
hi inc-ohi -आ m ~ inc-ohi -ई f, leveled (when not after vowels) from older inc-ohi -या m / inc-ohi -यौ ~ inc-ohi -ई f, from hi inc-apa -इअ -इअउ m ~ inc-apa -ईअ f nominative, from hi pra m -𑀇𑀅 -इअ hi ka.423 See there for more. Ultimately from hi ine-pro *-tós. The -y- which surfaces when this suffix occurs after a vowel is a reflex of -i- in pra -इअ.
hi -इत and hi -त. Cognate with pa -ਈਆ and distantly en -ed.
