masculine, neuter
Udukkhala (masculine and neuter) [Sanskrit ulūkhala] a mortar Vin I 202 (+ musala pestle); Ja I 502; II 428; V 49; II 161, 335; Ud 69 (m.; + musaḷa); Dhp-a II 131 (°sala); Vism 354 (in compound). The relation between udukkhala and musala is seen best from the description of eating at Vism 344 and Sv I 200, where the lower teeth play the role of ud., the upper teeth act as m., while the tongue takes the part of a hand. On this passage and other connections as well as etymology see Morris JPTS 1893, 37.
