Ṭhaca (ठच).—tad. affix इक (ika) or क (ka) (by P.VII.3.51) with the vowel अ (a) accented acute applied to (1) कुमुद (kumuda) and others as a Caturarthika affix; cf. P. IV.2.80; (2) to multisyllabic words and words beginning with उप (upa) which are proper nouns for persons; cf. P. V.3.78, 80; and (3) to the word एकशाला (ekaśālā) in the sense of इव (iva); cf. P.
