cuhuttai (pres 3. s.) 16 7 10 (v. 1, cahuttar) [= lagati (gl.). The relevant passage is- "to panavahu jai karthi kayarta-vasu na ouhuffai"- 'we shall pay homage (to king Bharata) if the 110ose of the God of Death does not cling to the neck' ; cf. cahutta-= nimagna-, 'immersed' (D. 32); cf. PSM. cahutta linam, 'clung' ; cf. Ncahutt occuring in this very sense in Vajjālagga (182):
cf. G. co- vum 'to stick to, adhere to, cling to'. ] 961. Cemcaa- 'to decorate, to adorn, to beautify':
ceincai(y)a- (p.p.) 3 2 4 (v. 1. cimcaiya-), 9 97, 24 12 9 (v. 1. cimcaiya-) 30 22 4, 39 14 3, 48 3 10, 61 15 13, 66 12, 66 5 4, 96 2 10. [= bhūşita-, dedipyamāna, alankȚta-, (gl.); cf. cecaiya- in this very

[Compare cojja- v. l. cujjas āścarya-, 'a wonder' (D. 3 14; Pāi. 451); cf. cojja- occurring in this very sense in JC. (1 18 8), NC., PC. II, PC, III, Bh., cujja- in SR. ; cf.

MW. records only one occurrence of codya- from Sisupälavadha IX. 16 in sense of astonishment. But here the context does not compel us to take the word in the sense of astonishment'. Bohtlipgk Dictionary notes codya- in the sese of 'wonder' quoting the earliest occurrence of the word from Hemachandra's Abhidhānacintāmaņi and Anekārtha-sangraha. Cf. Kan.
codya, cojiga-, Ta, cottiya, Te. sodya= 'wonder, marvel'. ] 963. Combbala— 28 27 1, 50 5 9 (v. l. cobhala-) 'a coiled wreath for
