The major part of the oil of ginger remains in these scales and is obtained from the Śuṇṭhī/Ārdraka with scales.—The sixth chapter (pippalyādi-varga) of this book enumerates ninety-five varieties of plants obtained from the market (paṇyauṣadhi). Other than the Bengali word Adā, there are more synonyms identified for this plant among which sixteen are in Sanskrit.

Marathi-English dictionary
Source: DDSA: The Molesworth Marathi and English Dictionaryaḍa (अड).—ind (ardha Half.) An inseparable prefix, expressing Lessness or diminutiveness, inferiority or secondariness, subordinacy or appertainment as an appendage or adjunct, and, sometimes, irregularity or oddness; answering to By, minor, sub, off, extra, odd &c.. It forms numerous compounds, of which those generally accepted and those demanding explanation occur in order. Whilst aḍa, coming from ardha Half, implies Smallerness, pettiness, dependency &c., āḍa as an inseparable prefix, involves the sense, first, of such expressions as Aside, apart, off the main track or course, out of the way, in some recess or corner; secondly, of such as Across, athwart, against, in the way, (indicating intervention, obstruction, restraint &c.) āḍa is further an adverb and a preposition; but for its senses and powers thus see āḍa. As this distinction betwixt aḍa & āḍa as inseparable prefixes, (i.e. as used in composition,) although just, and worthy to be pointed out, and advantageously to be learned and maintained, is not, in all instances, readily discernible by the foreigner, or rigidly regarded by the native, the wrongly compounded words, both of the class aḍa compounded with āḍa, and of the class āḍa compounded with aḍa, have been gathered and grouped, and referred, for their rendering, to their respective right forms. Further, that the student may be spared disappointment, it must be stated that, ordinarily, the paramount rule of the native, whether in speaking or in writing, is to employ, whether rightly or wrongly, aḍa if he belong to the Desh, āḍa if he belong to the Konkan: also that words, although manifest compounds of āḍa, yet, if current only in the Desh, will surely be made up with aḍa; whilst, conversely, words of the aḍa order, having currency only in the Konkan, will be treated as formations with āḍa. Notwithstanding the above explaining and distinguishing, and the exceeding and earnest labor bestowed to effect corresponding marginal disposition, there will still remain words tasking discrimination, and thus exposed to dispute whether they are compounds of aḍa or of āḍa, and a small number of others of which, in one sense, the appropriate form is aḍa, and, in another, āḍa. N. B.--Compounds with this aḍa from ardha Half must not be confounded with compounds or derivatives of aḍa Obstinacy or restiveness (e. g. aḍakara, aḍalaṇḍa, aḍataṭṭū &c.): nor are they to be confounded with words commencing with aḍa which own connection neither with our inseparable prefix nor with aḍa the noun:--and such (e.g. aḍakavaṇa, aḍakitā, aḍacaṇa, aḍata) are numerous: nor, lastly, with formations from aḍavā Cross. aḍakāṭhī, aḍakāṣṭhā, aḍakuḍatā, aḍakuśīṃ, aḍakūṭa or ḍa, aḍakhiḷī, aḍagāṇṭhyā, aḍagāta, aḍagātyā, aḍaghāta, aḍacāvaṭa, aḍacōra, aḍatāḷā, aḍadivasa, aḍapaḍadā, aḍapadara or drā, aḍapāṭa, aḍaphaṭa, aḍaphāṇṭā, aḍaphāṇṭyā, aḍabājūcā, aḍabājūsa, aḍabhinta, aḍamārga, aḍamōrā, aḍamōharīṃ, aḍarāna, aḍarānī, aḍavaṇa or aḍavīṇa, aḍavaḷaṇa, aḍavaḷaṇī, aḍavāṭa, aḍavāṭyā, aḍavēḷa, aḍasandhi, aḍasara, aḍasāṇṭhā.
