neuter accusative singular (or nominative plural), past participle of nādiyati (denominative from nādi, nāda: name, call)
Analysis. nā- (negative particle, negation of dinna 'given') + dinna (past participle of dādāti 'gives'). The form expresses prohibition or non-gift, underscoring the ethical rule against receiving or giving what is improper.
Etymology. From √dā 'give' (English 'donate', Latin dāre) with the negative prefix a-/nā-. The negation reverses the sense of the participle to mean 'not given' or 'not to be given', used in monastic contexts to denote improper gifts.
