Description:

The base meaning of cepáli as a modifier is to go under or pass underneath. It can take a nominative object which is the thing passed underneath or act on its own.

Derived as a term, as a verb, cepálin can mean simply to pass under something, in which case it is a normal noxaj verb of motion. Its disintentive pali form idiomatically means to act with stealthily or to evade detection successfully. As a noun, cepálin is generally taken to mean 'stealth'. To say a literal underpass, it is more likely to say cepálinkija, 'that which is passed under'.
