Pali passage Aṅguttaranikāya (Pali) i.188.2. He is probably right, but unfortunately this doesn't help much; the Pali word is very obscure; according to the commentary ii.304.14 the [compound] means a young hen (khuddaka-kukkuṭikā).
Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम् (saṃskṛtam), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!). Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
