What is the etymology of the Hindi suffix vālā, vālī  (वाला, वाली)?

As in: 

Bhājīvālā (भाजीवाला) – vegetable vendor (Mumbai Hindi) 

Gharvālī (घरवाली) – one who takes care of the home, wife 

Mai jānevālā hūṃ (मैं जानेवाला हूँ) – I am about to go 


Is the word cognate with Sanskrit kāra (कार)?

As in: 

Kumbhakāra (कुम्भकार) – potter 

Bhāṣyakāra (भाष्यकार) – one who wrote the bhāṣya 

 

Regards, 

Radhakrishna Warrier

A quick guess:
bhājīvān.
vatup (and matup) in this form ?:
sense of possession

The closest pratyaya would be -vAn वान् 
bala-vAn --> bala-vAlA
gata-vAn --> jAne-vAlA (not the sounds, but the word construction)



Thanks,
