• “मार्ग”, in नेपाली बृहत् शब्दकोश (nepālī br̥hat śabdakoś) [Comprehensive Nepali Dictionary]‎^[1], Kathmandu: Nepal Academy, 2018

Generally considered a vṛddhi derivative of मृग (mṛgá, “game animal; deer”).
Burrow considers this semantic shift implausible, and separates the meanings related to "deer, animal tracks" from the meaning of "road, way". He connects the latter meaning with Ancient Greek ἀμορβός (amorbós, “follower”), supposedly from ἀ- (a-, “co-”) + *μορβός (*morbós, “path, way”), with a common ancestor in Proto-Indo-European *morgʷós (“path, way”).
