Help[Facts] Re: Meaning of the name Saisha
in reply to a message by iamviv
If you derive it from sa (with) + eSA (desire), it is following all the rules of Sanskrit grammar. It is probably just a neologism (not used before), but using productive rules, so this is OK.
According to Sanskrit liaison (sandhi) rules, sa+eSA is indeed saiSA, and the liaison is mandatory. sa + Isha (etymologically, 'master' from Ish, to own, but used as a common epithet of God, often shiva), would have been sesha instead.
Incidentally saisa means made of lead (from sIsa) so, the palatalization (sh instead of s) is important :-)
