I still think that a derivation from dahati is ruled out by the BHS form ekoti. At the very least, we shouldn’t discard the little linguistic context that we have.

I’ve updated my draft to include this summary:
Ekodi
= eka + odi
= eka + odhi
= eka + o + dhi
= equal + inside + holding
= equal + poised
= equipoised—or just “poised”
