In Hinduism
Nirukta (Sanskrit etymology)
Source: Google Books: Linguistics, Archaeology and the Human PastGaulī (गौली) refers to a “lizard” (Cf. Godhā).—Lüders (1942: 43-50) argues at length that godhā should be parsed as go-dhā- (with the meaning 'cow-sucker'). He takes the word to be of Indo-European origin, approving of Fick's etymology that links it to Latin būfō 'toad'. This hypothesis is fully endorsed by Paul Thieme (1965: 211-212). Turner takes 'cow-sucker' to be a popular etymology, with the more original form preserved in Sanskrit golaka- m. 'lizard' (cf. gṛhagolaka- m. 'house lizard', attested in Mārkaṇḍeya-Purāṇa 15,24), golikā- f. 'lizard' (which appears as a variant reading for godhikā- in Bāṇa's Kādambarī, as well as in the compound gṛhagolikā-, gṛhagaulikā-, gṛhakolikā-, etc.; see Lüders 1942: 36 n.1), and gaulī- f. 'lizard' (in the Pañcatantra).
Nirukta (निरुक्त) or “etymology” refers to the linguistic analysis of the Sanskrit language. This branch studies the interpretation of common and ancient words and explains them in their proper context. Nirukta is one of the six additional sciences (vedanga) to be studied along with the Vedas.
