2) Uḍḍeti, 1 (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 lī, layate (as in allīna, nilīyati etc.), to stick to, adhere, fasten etc. The change l ›ḍis a frequent Pāli phenomenon. Another Caus. II. of the same root (ḍī?) is uṭṭepeti) to fly up M. I, 364 (kāko maṃsapesiṃ ādāya uḍḍayeyya; vv. ll. ubbaḍaheyya, uyya, dayeyya); J. V, 256, 368, 417. (Page 129)
Pali is the language of the Tipiṭaka, which is the sacred canon of Theravāda Buddhism and contains much of the Buddha’s speech. Closeley related to Sanskrit, both languages are used interchangeably between religions.
