Bengali[edit]
Pronunciation[edit]
Etymology 1[edit]
Learned borrowing from Sanskrit मति (mati).
Noun[edit]
মতি • (moti) (uncountable)
Derived terms[edit]
- মতিগতি (môtigôti)
Etymology 2[edit]
The spelling is owing to confusing অ (o /ɔ/) with ও (ō /o/): given that the former is realised as [o] due to vowel harmony when followed by /i/, /u/ in the next syllable.[1]
Noun[edit]
মতি • (moti)
- (hypercorrect) alternative spelling of মোতি (mōti)
