Onīta, (in form = Sk. avanīta, but semantically = apanīta. Thus also BSk. apanīta, pp. of apa + nī, see apaneti) only found in one ster. phrase, viz. onīta-patta-pāṇi “having removed (or removing) his hand from the bowl”, a phrase causing constructional difficulties & sometimes taken in glosses as “onitta°” (fr. nij), i.e. having washed (bowl and hands after the meal). The C^s. expl^n. as onīto pattato pāṇi yeva, i.e. “the hand is taken away from the bowl”. The spelling is frequently oṇīta, probably through BB sources. See on term also Trenckner, Notes 66²⁴ & cp. apa-nīta-pātra at M Vastu III, 142. The expression is always comb^d. with bhuttāvin “having eaten” and occurs very frequently, e.g. at Vin. II, 147: D. I, 109 (= DA. I, 277, q. v. for the 2 expl^ns. mentioned above M. II, 50, 93; S. V, 384; A. II, 63; Sn. p. 111 (= pattato onītapāṇi, apanītahattha SnA 456); VvA. 118; PvA. 278. Oneti, prob. for apaneti, see apaneti & pp. onīta. (Page 167)
