Loha (neuter) [Cf. Vedic loha, of Indo-Germanic °(e)reudh "red"; see also rohita and lohita] metal, especially copper, brass or bronze. It is often used as a general term and the individual application is not always sharply defined. Its comprehensiveness is evident from the classification of loha at Vibh-a 63, where it is said lohan ti jāti-lohaṃ, vijāti°, kittima°, pisāca° or natural metal, produced metal, artificial (i.e. alloys), and metal from the Pisāca district. Each is subdivided as follows: jāti° = ayo, sajjhaṃ, suvaṇṇaṃ, tipu, sīsaṅ, tambalohaṃ, vekaṇṭakalohaṃ; vijāti° = nāga-nāsika°; kittima° = kaṃsalohaṃ, vaṭṭa°, ārakūṭaṃ; pisāca° = morakkhakaṃ, puthukaṃ, malinakaṃ, capalakaṃ, seḷakaṃ, āṭakaṃ, bhallakaṃ, dūsilohaṃ. The description ends "tesu pañca jātilohāni pāḷiyaṃ visuṃ vuttān'eva (i.e. the first category are severally spoken of in the canon). Tambalohaṃ vekaṇtakan ti imehi pana dvīhi jātilohehi saddhiṃ sesaṃ sabbam pi idha lohan ti veditabbaṃ." — On loha in similes see JPTS 1907, 131. Cf.
