Re: [INDOLOGY] gośāla and ardhatrika

[Madhav Deshpande]

Just to add to the discussion, the Marathi word for 2 1/2 is "aḍīc" from
something like "ardhatrika/aḍhatiya".  The order of ardha and the number
word goes on changing in different expressions.  For instance, the Marathi
word for 1 1/2 is "dīḍ" derived from dvi-ardha/diyaḍḍha.
