apavṛti

of the Medinī it occurs as a meaning of ācchādana, viz.

‘ācchādanaṃ saṃpidhāne vastre'pavṛtimātrake’; but a better read-

ing instead of the latter word is clearly prāvṛtimātrake, as

ācchādana does not mean ‘covering’ and ‘opening’ at the

same time; the Śabdamuktāmahārṇava, which quotes this read-

ing, explains therefore ācchādanam na (i. e. napuṃsakaṃ) tirodhāne

aṃśuke prāvaraṇasāmānye ca.] E. vṛ with apa, kṛt aff. ktin.
