Pronounced in Bengal with the last vowel broad (See Bengal 

 Plants, p. 971). This has many forms, e.g. t Kathail, Kathair, Kath 

 and Katar. See also Kantal. The allusion is of course to the spine 

 of the Jack fruit. Fibre is said to be got in Burma and N. India 

 from the bark of Artocarpus spp. (See also Trap-tree.) The 

 Malayan name from which ' Jack fruit ' is derived is applied also 

 to the Pineapple (Kapa-jakka), while from old works on India it 

 would seem that the ' Jakka or * Yucca ' of Malabar was an Aloe or 

 even possibly an Agave. 'Kantala' was perhaps originally an 

 epithet of Artocarpus integrifolia, Linn., which must have been 

 known long before any Agave had reached India. The difference 

 of the * t ' in the two words does not involve any radical distinction, 

 and the current use of Kantal is for Artocarpus. 



Usually in combination with a qualifying term, such as ' Anai/ etc. 

 Cf. Kattali, etc.
