Sanskrit áṡman
Monier-Williams states that áṡman (2) means “a stone, rock, a precious stone, any instrument made of stone (as a hammer), thunderbolt, a cloud, the firmament.” Corresponding to the Sanskrit words áṡri and aṡáni, áṡman also originates from the Tamil root akku through the transformation of akku > aṡ > áṡman.
