Pali singa (11)
In the Pali-English Dictionary, Davids and Stede say Pali word singa refers to “a horn (of a cow).” It is linguistically related to Vedic śṛnga; Greek κάρνον (kárnon), κραγγών (krangón); Latin cornu; and English horn. It is an offshoot of the Tamil root aṅku through the transformation of aṅku > ṡṛiṅga > singa. The following words, related to Pali singa, also originate from Tamil aṅku.
singa-dhanu, horn- bow. singa-dhamaka, blowing a horn. singivera, ginger. singāra, erotic sentiment. singāratā, fondness of decorations; an elegant dress, finery; elegant, graceful. singāra-bhāva, being elegant or graceful (said of a horse). singin, having a horn, cow. singila, a kind of horned bird. singhāṭaka, a square, a place where four roads meet; a water plant (Trapa bispinosa). aya-singhāṭaka, perhaps an iron ring (in the shape of a square or triangle).
