tīmaņa
Compare kattara (PN 620, 625, 637) = ghṛta-vatikonmiśratimaṇādi (PN.ON. Glossary).
moistening', 'sauce' (CDIAL 5949)
'moistening' is the primary meaning of ullana. When some liqueous food-article like curds, butter-milk, pulse-water etc. was mixed with rice to moisten it, it also came to be included in the meaning-range of ullaṇa.
Similarly the primary meaning of temana is mostening. When some liqueous food-arlicle like curry, pulse-water, curds etc. was mixed with rice to moisten it, that came also within the meaning-range of timana.
In Modern Gujarati kasaṇvù means 'to mix some liqueous 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. kusaņa (n.) also. Later on it come to signify such a mixture.
