Rava 1 [for raya, with v for y as frequent in Pāli, Dhātum 352: ru "gati"] speed, exceeding swiftness, galloping, in combination with dava running at Vin II 101; IV 4; M I 446 {566} (better reading here davatthe ravatthe for dhāve ravatthe, cf. vv.ll. on page 567 and Neumann, M.S. II 672 note 49). Note: At the Vin passages it refers to speaking and making blunders by over-hurrying oneself in speaking. — Dhātum (No. 871) gives rava as a synonym of rasa (with assāda and sneha). It is not clear what the connection is between those two meanings. Rava 2 [from ru, cf. Vedic rava] loud sound, roar, shout, cry; any noise uttered by animals Ja II 110; III 277; Dhp-a I 232 (sabba-rava-ññu knowing all sounds of animals); Miln 357 (kāruñña°). See also rāva and ruta.
