1988, p.98, it is shown that the variant reading simțā should have been preferred instead of simdhā in view of the forms we find in several NIA languages. Accordingly ūsentiā- must have primarily meant ‘loud snorting made as a gesture of disdain, insult or disapproval' (ū- deriving from Skt. ut-). kattaliyā-“piece’, Āv 37.24 (paramaya-candaņa-kattaliyāhim ... bherim kanthikarei)
Cf. Guj. kātļi(written kātāli) “a piece, consisting of the portion between the two joints in the stalk of sugarcane'. khalda)-pūlaya-“grain and fodder', Āv 33.24 (teņa tīse singe kha[da]pūlao baddho)
Cf. Guj. khad no pūļo “a bundle of grass' (see CDIAL 3769 and 8349). gaccha-“group of monks', Āv 9.1, 20.5*, 43.41
The original meaning of gaccha-is “a tree' (see CDIAL 3949) gaddi- 'cart', Āv 24.26, 44.1 (Ābhīrāņi ghayam gaddie ghettūņa pattanam vikkiņagāņi gayāni)
Skt. gantri-- the etymon given in the glossary - is only a Sanskritization of gaddi- like vaptā for bappă ‘father'. gālanaga- ‘sieve', Āv 41.27 (paripūņao ghayapunnagālaņagam kitțimam laei)
Cf. Guj. gaļņū (written gaļaņā) 'cloth to filter water'. thiggaliyā - / thiggala- ‘piece', Āv 36.3, 37.41 (aññeņa candaņeņa ya bherie thiggalam dinnam)
Cf. Guj. thig-dũ ‘a patch, especially one put on cloth to mend rent'. dullaliya- “living licentiously', Āv 12.41*
In Hāla 892 it means “highly fond of, addicted to', and in that changed meaning it commonly occurs in Prakrit literature.
