意思
Feeling extremely thirsty or frightened.
文化背景
In the hills, water sources are often at the bottom of the valley. Carrying water uphill is hard, so people often experience 'Oth Taalu Suknu' before they reach a resting spot (Chautari). It is culturally insensitive to let a guest's 'oth taalu' dry. Even if you have nothing else, you must offer a glass of water immediately. Dryness of the mouth is seen as an imbalance of 'Vata' or 'Pitta' doshas, often triggered by fear or heat. In stories, when a character encounters a 'Kichkanni' (a mythical spirit), the first symptom described is always their mouth going dry.
