In Vat's Harappa report, there is a picture of an ekka. And Childe
shows a picture of a copper model chariot-box, found at Chanhudaro --
some archaeologists say that this could be an ekka-box.
Ekka is a word used even today in many parts of NW India to connote a
small cart drawn by a pony (short-statured horses of the equus
sivalensis variety). It is also called jat.ka_, could be
onamatopoeic. [Jat.ki is a Punjabi dialect].
