kattha

Pali. This challenge applies only to the Pali 'timber' word.

It looks as though the entry

kattha : [adv.] where? || kaṭṭha (pp. of kasati), plouhged; tilled. (nt.) timber; a piece of wood.

in A.P. Buddhadatta Mahathera's Concise Pali-English Dictionary (or at least, an on-line version) has been misinterpreted as saying the unretroflexed word has the 'timber' meaning. Note that Lao-script Pali ກັດຖະ (kattha) is not evidence for this spelling; it comes from a writing system that lacks the retroflex consonants.
