Definition/cultural note

- it is not clear whether this is the same thing as gadha, or whether gadha might mean something slightly different.- Kuhns list, which has some errors, records kuthut (probably = gadhud) as knife. Nharangga words do not end in d/t. However, the meaning may be correct, as related language records include a similar word meaning cut.
