I submit that आहन् in Rgveda (RV 2.13.1) meaning 'worthy of preparation' and आहनस् in Pashto and Kashmiri meaning 'iron' are inquiries into the materiial phenomenon of formation of Soma from the sacred waters.

Griffith RV 2.131. The Season was the parent, and when born therefrom it entered rapidly the floods wherein itgrows.
Thence was it full of sap, streaming with milky juice: the milk of the plants' stalk is chief and meet for lauds.
Thence was it full of sap, streaming with milky juice: the milk of the plants' stalk is chief and meet for lauds.
Wilson: 2.013.01 The season (of the rains) is the parent (of the Soma), which, as soon meet for lauds.as born of her, enters into the waters in which it grows; thence it is fit for expression, as concentrating (the essence of the) water, and the juice of the Soma is especially to be praised (as the libation proper for Indra).
आहनस् त्रि० आ + हन--असुन् । १ आहननीये २ निष्पीड्ये सौमादौ । “तदाहना अभवत् पिप्युषी” ऋ० २, २३,१ । आहनाः आहननीयः सोमादिः” भा० आहनसे साधुयत् । “आहनस्यं तत्साधने त्रि० । “आहनस्याद्वै रेतःसिच्यते” ऐत० व्रा० । https://sa.wikisource.org/wiki/वाचस्पत्यम्
आहतः, त्रि, (आ + हन् + क्तः ।) गुणितः । ता-डितः । इति मेदिनी ॥ (“प्रति दिवसं याति लयंवसन्तवाताहतेव शिशिरश्रीः” । इति पञ्चतन्त्रम् ।ज्ञातः । मिथ्योक्तः । इत्यजयः ॥ निहतः । “द्व्यूना विं-शतिराहताक्षौहिणीनाम्” । इति महाभारतम् ।) https://sa.wikisource.org/wiki/शब्दकल्पद्रुमः
It is remarkable that Vacaspatyam renders the semantics of ahanas as related to ‘concentration’ (of the essence of the water). It is an inquiry to the formation of Soma by transmutation processes from the sacred waters.
Apte Skt dictionary explains the expression āhananīya आहननीय a. Making oneself known by beating a drum. Thus, Soma is declared 'worth preparing' in RV 2.13.1 with the expression āhanā.
I submit that the Meluhha semantics of āhan 'iron' (Pashto. Kashmiri) is elucidated in RV 2.13.1 as a material manifestation of Soma from the waters.
