103 timana : (Old Guj.): curty, pulse-watcr. timana : 'moistening, 'sauce' (CDIAL 5949) Compare kattara (PN 620, 625, 637) = ghita-vatikonmisratimanadi (PN.ON Glossary). 'moistening' is the primary meaning of ullana. Wlien sonie liqueous food-article like curds, butter-wilk, pulse-watcr etc. was mixed with rice to moisten it, it also came to be included in the meaning-range of ullana. Similarly the primary meaning of temana is mostening. Wlien some liqueous food-arlicle like curry, pulse-water, curds etc. was mixed with rice to moisten it, that came also within the mcaning-range of timana. In Modern Gujarati kasanvu mcans 'to mix somc liqucous eatabe like curds, cooked pulse etc. with rice etc. and coagulate to form a thin lump.' That seems to be the primary meaning of Pk. kusana (n.) also. Later on it come to signify such a mixture. 7.
