okasta, taken by Senart 〔i note p. 556〕 as ppp. of ava with root kas (see BR), gone down, descended. I cannot improve on this suggestion, altho no form of this cpd. has been recorded elsewhere. Usually with acc. or loc. of that to (sometimes into) which the subject has gone down, the pple. °to or °tā being a periphrasis for a past tense: to the sea, in order to embark, Mv 〔i.245.4〕
