Hello Dr. Pind,
> /asava.n.na/ is, of course, a well-known technical term of Indian grammar.
Did the original sense of the grammatical term relate to "Varna" as a
categorical notion, rather than in the sense of colour/appearance?
Certainly, it is another instance of the Vedic notion of "5 Varnas"
(not 4).
[P.S. Yes, I am joking]
