घृ

• घर् (ghar)

• (Vedic) IPA^(key): /ɡʱr̩/
• (Classical) IPA^(key): /ɡʱr̩/

Generally derived from Proto-Indo-European *gʰrēy- (“to smear”), extended from *gʰer- (“to rub”); compare English grime, Ancient Greek χρῑ́ω (khrī́ō). However, Mayrhofer is skeptical enough to promote alternative etymologies.
