I'm trying to find out if word "SULA" does exist in Sunskrit.
Possible meanings are:stake, spit, lance, trident
Any suggestions will be taken
Thanks

MW18 trisula 'trident', from Sanskrit tri֌la 'id.', is not a new combination of tri 'three' (p. 36) and sula 'spike' (p. 35), but was apparently borrowed as a single term under the influence of Javanese (compare Old Javanese tri֌la 'id.').
