kaṭuvā

Notes lit. "cutting" or "piercing." When denoting a certain type of sacrificial buffalo, it probably means that the animal is "at least" suitable for sacrifice. Under the provision that the list given in E_2779_0005 provides a grading of bulls according to either size or age, the kaṭuvā is the smallest of all, smaller than malauṭo, kaṃjokho, and satāra.
