श्मश्रु

Sanskrit

Etymology

From Proto-Indo-European *smoḱru- (beard). Cognate with Albanian mjekër (beard), Old Armenian մօրուք (mōrukʿ, beard), Lithuanian smãkras (chin), Hittite 𒍝𒈠𒀭𒆳 (za-ma-an-kur /tsmá(n)gur/, beard), Irish smech (chin). The assimilation of Sanskrit *s to *ś (thus giving श्मश्रु (śmaśru) instead of स्मश्रु (smaśru)) is regular in the presence of another *ś as is also observed in शश (śaśa, hare) and श्वशुर (śvaśura, father-in-law).
