sa

Dictionary Definition: 

Sa3 [identical with saŋ˚] prefix, used as first pt. of com- pounds, is the sense of "with," possessed of, having, same as; e. g. sadevaka with the devas Vin i.8; sadhammika having common faith D ii.273; sajāti having the same origin J ii.108. Often opposed to a -- and other neg. prefixes (like nir˚). Sometimes almost pleonastical (like sa -- antara). -- Of combinations we only mention a few of those in which a vocalic initial of the 2nd pt. remains uncontracted. Other examples see under their heading in alph. order. E. g. sa -- antara inside DhA iii.788 (for santara Dh 315); sa -- Inda together with Indra D ii.261, 274; A v.325 sq.; ˚ -- uttara having something beyond, inferior (opp. an˚) D i.80; ii.299=M i.59; Dhs 1292, 1596; DhsA 50; ˚ -- uttaracchada (& ˚chadana) a carpet with awnings above it D i.7≈; ii.187 (˚ava); A i.181; Vin i.192; DA i.87; -- ˚udaka with water, wet Vin i.46; -- ˚udariya born from the same womb, a brother J iv.417, cp. sodariya; -- ˚uddesa with explanation It 99; Vism 423 (nāma -- gotta -- vasena sa -- udd.; vaṇṇ'ādi -- vasena sākāra); -- ˚upanisa together with its cause, causally associated S ii.30; -- ˚upavajja having a helper M iii.266; -- ˚upādāna showing attachment M ii.265; -- ˚upādisesa having the substratum of life remaining Sn 354; It 38; Nett 92. Opp. anupādisesa; -- ˚ummi roaring of the billows It 57, 114. -- Note. sa2 & sa3 are differentiations of one and the same sa, which is originally the deictic pronoun in the function of identity & close connection.
