Pervading, Cloud-like Explanation: अश्निल (Ashnil) is a personal name, used mainly by Indian Hindus, though the name is not very common. The name (probably) has its root in Sanskrit, where: अश्न => pervading, cloud (of course cloud is something that pervades the earth). -इल has been added to it as a suffix to further express a quality (=adjective). Thus अश्निल has the sense "pervading", "cloud-like" etc. Any other suggestions would be welcome. Reference: http://dsal.uchicago.edu/cgi-bin/philologic/contextualize.pl... |
