(kacCa, kacCa)
kaccha¦ (Skt. kakṣa, kakṣā, MIndic and Skt. Lex. kaccha, kacchā, at least in mgs. 1, 2), (1) arm-pit: Mv ii.124.3 kacchehi svedā muktā; (2) hem of (lower) garment: Mv iii.13.3 kacchaṃ bandhitvā (Pali id.), girding himself (for action, by tying the undergarment at the waist); (3) in nikkaṭa-kacchā Mv ii.87.17 (see nikkaṭa), possibly edge (of a needle)? One expects the mg. point, but I find no evidence for it. The allegation that Pali kaccha means arrow (PTSD) seems unfounded.
