Sanskrit पत्त्र (pattra)?

Sanskrit पट्ट (paṭṭa)

Probably a Middle Indic form of पत्त्र (pattra, “leaf”), according to Mayrhofer. Turner is skeptical, but gives reluctant support due to the presence of the Dardic form *पट्ट (paṭṭa), as well as the fact that many descendants of पत्त्र (pattra) do mean "metal plate".

Noun

पट्ट • (paṭṭa) stem, m

1. a slab, tablet (for painting or writing upon)
   1. (especially) a copper plate for inscribing royal grants or orders
2. the flat or level surface of anything
