(kuwwana, kuwwana)
kuṭṭana¦ (m. or nt.), in ayo-kuṭṭanehi kuṭṭīyantā Mv i.6.5 (prose), being pounded with iron hammers. Cf. Pali ayo-kūṭa, and Skt. kūṭa, iron hammer (once, Mbh.); the word kuṭṭana is found in Skt. as noun of action, pounding (cf. kuṭṭ-ayati); our form looks like an etymological blending, with influence of the ‘Morengesetz’ (§ 3.4a).
