In Dravidian languages, the term for colocassia is generally noted as čepənkəǰʰaṅɡu or čembu in Tamil, čembu or čenpu in Malayalam, and čema or čama in Telugu. That being the case, the word čimkura was reported in the region of Maharashtra which is adjacent to the Telugu-speaking area. Hence, the occurrence of the word čimkura in Marathi is due to the influence of Dravidian languages. In Bengali, the leafy vegetable, colocassia, is referred to as koču. kočəi, a word similar to this was reported in eastern parts of Maharashtra. Moreover, it is likely that the word teri has entered Marathi from the English word taro. This word was recorded in Palghar, Raigad, and Ratnagiri districts. The word patra is used in Gujarati and consequently, its presence was observed in the region of Maharashtra which shares a border with the state of Gujarat.
