पुना (punA)

 
Monier Williams Cologne
English
पुना in comp. for पुनर्.
Edgerton Buddhist Hybrid
English
punā, for punar, again, or rather but, yet, prob. m.c. for MIndic puna: Gv 〔476.9〕 (vs: before ca). So also Pali Jāt. 〔iii.437.26〕 punā atthi (vs, m.c.). The form occurs in Pkt., as uṇā or puṇā- (in comp.), where it seems not to be m.c. and is regarded by Pischel 〔342 end, 343 end〕, as abl. to the ‘stem’ (p)uṇa-
cf. under puni
or in the case of puṇā-perhaps due to lengthening in the seam of cpds., Pischel 〔70〕.
