अर्घ

Sanskrit

From Proto-Indo-Aryan *Hargʰás, from Proto-Indo-Iranian *Hargʰás, from Proto-Indo-European *h₂elgʷʰ-ós, from *h₂elgʷʰ- (“to cost, have value”). Cognate with Ancient Greek ἀλφή (alphḗ, “gain”), Lithuanian alga (“wages”), Avestan 𐬀𐬭𐬆𐬘𐬀𐬵‎ (arəjah, “value, price”), Sogdian [script needed] ('rγ), Persian ‎ (arzeš, “value”), ‎ (arz, “currency”).[1] Compare also Hungarian ár (“price”), an early Indo-Iranian borrowing.[2]

The Sanskrit root is अर्ह् (arh).[3]
