- ↑ The Sanscrit root is jâgri, with ri-vocalis. But this again must be a reduplication of a simple monosyllabic root, perhaps from grî, sonum edere; canere, laudare, from which also gal-lus (Cf. garrulus), the watchman, and singer of the night seems to have his name. In Jaga the ri-vocalis is replaced by a, the pronunciation of the ri at the end of the word being difficult. In the middle of words the ri is replaced by rě the sound nearest to it, but at the end this rě woud appear to be to weak. Fr.
