uḍḍeti

Uḍḍeti1

to fly up MN.i.364 (kāko maṃsapesiṃ ādāya uḍḍayeyya; vv.ll. ubbaḍaheyya, uyya dayeyya); Ja.v.256, Ja.v.368, Ja.v.417.

ud + ḍeti to fly. The etym. is doubtful, Müller P. Gr. 99 identifies uḍḍeti1 & uḍḍeti2 both as causatives to ḍī. Of uḍḍeti2 two forms exist, uḍḍ˚ & oḍḍ˚, the latter of which may be a variant of the former, but with specialisation of meaning (“lay snares”), it may be a cpd with ava˚ instead of ud˚. It is extremely doubtful whether uḍḍeti2 belongs here, we should rather separate it & refer it to another root, probably; , layate (as in allīna, nilīyati etc.), to stick to, adhere, fasten etc. The change l → ḍ is a freq. Pāli phenomenon. Another Caus. ii. of the same root (ḍī?) is uṭṭepeti

Uḍḍeti2

  1. to bind up, tie up to, string up Vin.ii.131 (so read for uṭṭitvā, variant reading uḍḍhetvā)
  2. to throw away, reject Pv-a.256 (chaḍḍayāmi gloss)

pp uḍḍita.
