adhio

borrowed from Kachchhi (Indo-Aryan speech of Kutch) ādhio “half of a kori,” cognate with Sindhi ādhio “half of a split date, half a rupee,” derivative of ādho “half,” going back to *ārdhiya-, derivative of Sanskrit ārdha-, variant, in compounds, of ardhaḥ “part, side, half”; akin to Avestan arəδδa- “half,” both from an Indo-Iranian etymon probably going back to an Indo-European base h₁erdh-, whence Lithuanian ardyti “to pull down, dismantle, demolish,” erdvus “spacious, roomy, loose,” erdvė “space”
