@Kutchkutch: I did consider it, given the fact that one of the sources defines this term as a sickle with tooth-like projections, so I thought there would be an influence from the term dā̃t (tooth). But I ignored it, because this term fits well both semantically and formally with Middle-Indo-Aryan dattiyā and Old Indo-Aryan dā́tr-ikā. I did not check Turner. I do not oppose dantín being given as the etymon. -- 𝘗𝘶𝘭𝘪𝘮𝘢𝘪𝘺𝘪^{(𝘵𝘢𝘭𝘬)} 06:30, 22 June 2023 (UTC)
