Huji (Skt. suci) in this word is the prototype of the modern wird iňdi, the name of a palm tree of the date type with sharp needle-like leaf stalks, which grows wild in Ceylon. Kaḍaka is the earlier form kaḍu (cf. T. kāḍu) found in place-names like Hikkaḍuva. It maybe connected with P. saṇḍu (vana sanḍa)
