Dear Yong Peng,
naama is also used as exclamation: indeed! For emphasis. I think here it
does not have anything to do with name.
ki.m daana.m naametan"ti: what is indeed this offering.
katadaanampi: is the the patient of garahanti? I think so.
They blame the performance of the offering with the words: what kind of
offering is this indeed.
Nina.
