Unvarnished, unembellished, undressed up; naked or bare; just as taking place--occurrences or the narration of them. In this sense are kaccā-majakūra-lihiṇēṃ-varttamāna-bātamī-hakikata- kaiphiyata; i. e. cursorily sketched or drawn up or out, rough, rude. In this sense are kaccātāḷā-tāḷēbanda- kīrda-jamābandī-bāba-hiśēba-bērīja and countless others; unfinished, uncompleted, unclosed, unperfected;--used as a common term for the numbers constituting the product of the multiplication together of two terms in the Rule of three. These numbers are kaccē, the operation of Division by the third term not having been performed. The numbers or number after this operation (i. e. the quotient) are termed pakkē or pakkā. Full exemplification may perhaps be better afforded by marginal arrangement. See therefore the words in order.
