    abhitunna , and abhitūrṇa (= Pali abhitunna, also

    written °ṇṇa; etym., see below), afflicted: Mv i.156.10 (vs)

    tasya…vacābhitunno…rudanto (subject Chandaka:

    afflicted by his words); iii.284.13 śokābhitunna (so Pali

    sokābhi°). The form abhitūrṇa is read by KN in SP 320.9

    duḥkhābhir vedanābhir abhi°, with Kashgar rec.; in 321.3

    Kashgar rec. also vedanābhitūrṇān, but KN this time

    °bhibhūtān. Kern cites Pāṇ. 6.4.21 for tūrṇa (not recorded

    in literature) as ppp. of turvati, overcomes. Neither this

    root nor tud is recorded with abhi, except for the Pali

    form cited, which CPD derives from tud, but Kern (see

    PTSD) from turv, doubtless because of BHS abhitūrṇa.

    The BHS °tunna could be a MIndicism; but contrariwise,

    perhaps, °tūrṇa could be an unhistoric hyper-Sktism. All

    that seems certain is that the two belong together and with

    Pali abhitunna.
