(uttaka, -uttaka)
-uttaka¦, adj. ifc., perhaps made, produced: Mv ii.457.14 (prose) hastiśālāya paṭalāni ghanāni mahantāni bahujana- uttakāni, (when a fire had broken out in the elephant- stables)…the thatches of the elephant stable, thick, great, made by many people… This assumes a ka-extension of AMg. -utta in deva-utta, bambha-utta, produced (created) by (the) god(s), by Brahmā (see citation in Sheth s.v. utta). The origin of the word is obscure; Sheth and Ratnach. regard it as identical with Skt. upta, sown. Senart has no suggestion as to mg. or etym.
