Help[Facts] Re: 'ayan' or 'ayaan' in Sanskrit
in reply to a message by তন্ময় ভট
Hello,
Thank you for your response. You mentioned that aYAna also has a meaning in sanskrit, which is different from aYana. Do you happen to know what aYAna means? I beleive it means 'Gift of God' in Arabic. It would be interesting to know what it means in Sanskrit.
Thanks.
Deepa

YAna means motion or instrument of motion (i.e. vehicle). aYAna means lack of motion or stationarity. The root is the same: verbal root i means to go.
Incidentally, do check the meaning in Arabic. I don't know any Arabic, so will refrain from commenting.
