OK, but jagri cannot be from Arabic, which has kbd

Overall, I am not sure. In an article that I will share with the list when it’s 
done, I think I demonstrate quite conclusively a west Semitic, probably Arabic, 
input in a 10th c Sanskrit text from Kashmir, with which there was some 
intertextuality with the KCT. But of course I do not ask that you accept my 
arguments until you have seen them.

best,
Matthew

Overall, I think Madhav’s suggestion that jagri is a vernacularized form of 
yak.rt, (re)borrowed into Sanskrit, makes the best sense. Hindi-Urdu jigar, by 
contrast, is most likely one of the many Persian words that came into the 
language during the extended period of Persianate Muslim rule

Shouldn’t that be yak.rt?

Some interesting connections of the Persian word jigar to Sanskrit word taker 
for liver.
