The Sanskrit of the set as it occurs in the Pradīpoddyotana: 1. akṣarārtha. 2. samastāṅgārtha. 3. garbhyartha. 4. kolikārtha (which Wayman translates 1. invariant sense [literal meaning], 2. commonly shared sense [shared with non-tantric Buddhism], 3. pregnant sense, and 4. ultimate sense). Alex Wayman, Guhyasamājatantra: Reflections on the Word and Its Meaning, Transactions of the Int'l Conference of Orientalists in Japan, no. 15 (1970), pp. 34-44, at p. 41. These are somehow comparable to the fourfold levels of interpretation according to medieval Christians: the literal, allegorical, moral and anagogical. "The letter teaching the things that were done, the allegory what you should believe, the moral what you should do, the anagogical where you are headed." (See P.J. Archambault, tr. A Monk's Confession: The Memoirs of Guibert of Nogent, Pennsylvania State Press [University Park 1996], p. 60.) Tiso in TJ XXX no. 3 [1998] 123.

It may also be a monastic 'meal-ticket' (see index to Joel Tatelman, The Glorious Deeds of Pūrṇa). It may be used to keep track of the numbers of monks, for example in a rainy season retreat. Schopen in JIP 30 (2002) 360 ff. The Tibetan word would seem to presume a Skt. form śilākā or something similar (see Schopen's article, p. 363). Banerjee, Sarvāstivāda Literature 238. Spelled śālākā in Gustav Roth, Bhikṣuṇī-Vinaya, K. P. Jayaswal Research Institute (Patna 1970), pp. ii-v.

•TSHO [1] OR, rgya tsho. county, administrative unit. Goldstein, Taxation 2. Karmay says that tsho are clan groupings that share a single holy mountain with its connected monastery, and members of other tsho are not supposed to participate in the other's mountain cult (if they do, they have to take on obligations of that tsho). See Ricca & Fournier in TJ 26 no. 3/4 (Autumn/Winter 2001) 115, which says these new administrative entities, which seem to have been taxation units, originated with the monks of the Phyi-dar (but don't they rather intend the modern word chus? In the Phyi-dar, these were nothing more than splinters in the monastic ordination transmissions). [2] with reference to the Phyi-dar splintering of monastic groups, I simply translate this as 'group.' [3] In 'Gos, Stong-thun 16.6 ff. one may find several instances where the 'modern' plural marker tsho is used. For examples, bu tsho and chos tsho instead of bu rnams and chos rnams.

See Zhen Yan in Schrempf, Soundings, where the Chinese is given as cun-guan-chi (meaning 'inch, gate, foot'), but see especially p. 332, where it is explained (according to F. Meyer) that the three syllables are originally Tibetan names for the three fingers (index, middle and ring, in that order) used in pulse diagnosis (the authors reject this idea). Notice also Elisabeth Hsu, A Hybrid Body Technique: Does the Pulse Diagnostic cun guan chi Method Have Chinese-Tibetan Origins? Gesnerus, vol. 65 (2008), pp. 5-29, where Tibetans are given credit for influencing Chinese pulse-taking practices in the medieval period.

The more correct way of spelling would be Tsi pa ṭa. Following is a quote from a forthcoming work of mine: "Rdzi 'go pa thra, Dzig mgo pa tra, Rtsi par and Ci mi 'dra [chimera?], probably all derived from the original Tibetan Tsi pa ṭa, a loanword from Sanskrit Cipaṭa, which means 'flat-nosed' (but note also gzi gdong, 'splendorous face,' which may be a direct translation of Kīrti-mukha)." Another spelling is 'dzi par, q.v. Bellezza understands tsi par, or tsi pir, to mean "giant clam decorations." ZZFC 240 (pir, q.v., might in truth mean a kind of sea monster). Spelled tsi 'go'i pa tra in BLKC I 387.

According to Hill, there is no Old Tibetan word with initial 'w', and even the word for 'fox' was then spelled 'wa, not wa (in this, the 'a-chung is the root letter, with the 'w' in the form of (what would eventually become) the wa-zur, the entire syllable would have been pronounced gwa or go, and not wa).

•GZHON NU young, youth. In Sanskrit, yauvana or yuvan. Darma language jonu, adj. for 'young.' In Chaudangsi-Byangsi, it's syanna. In any case, the 'nu' is an adjective-forming suffix in Darma. In GSB 56, the spelling for the Byangsi word for 'youth' is jyuvadai. I wonder if Tib. gzhon nu isn't distantly related to Eng. juvenile?

•GZHON NU BUM SKU youthful vase body. Thondup, BM 58. Karmay, Great Perfection 185, 187. Germano, Poetic Thought 963. Note the story of Skandha (called Gzhon nu gdong drug, Youth of Six Faces, in Tibetan), who was, according to some accounts, gestated in a vase from the seed of six different gods. The Yezidis of northern Iraq sometimes say that their progenitor was Adam alone (with no input from Eve). Adam placed his seed in a pot and a moon-faced boy appeared in it named Shahid bin Jarr, 'Witness son of Jar,' this Jar meaning 'jar' as in 'pot.' See Garnik Asatrian & Victoria Arakelova, Malak-Tâwûs: The Peacock Angel of the Yezidis, Iran & the Caucasus 7 nos 1-2 (2003) 1-36, at p. 15. Note also that the Upaniṣads define the ātman thus: "ātman is brahman in a pot" where the pot is the body, and breaking the pot allows one to realize the primordial unity of the ātman and the Absolute Brahman. See White, Alchemical Body 18. "... a unique Dzogchen expression. It refers to the original ground of the primordially pure inner sphere of reality: not subject to deterioration, it is youthful; unbroken, it is like a vase; and as the foundaton for the manifestation of enlightened qualities, it is a body." Togden 240.

•ZRE an animal said to prey on small birds. One of a set called gcan bzhi, 'four carnivores,' that occurs in Sgra-'grel comm. on the Mdzod-phug. This is a very strange word, which shouldn't even happen according to usual spelling rules. It also looks very weird in Tibetan script. I wonder to myself it might come from an abbreviated way of writing the first syllable of gzer mo (or zer mo), meaning weasle or porcupine or mongoose or the like, but the weasle given its tendencies to destroy young birds in the nest seems the more likely candidate.

•GZE MA RA MGO Tribulus terrestris. Wangchuk, Bioactive 27 (here spelled gze ma ra go ma; in the thesis itself this herb's properties are analysed). Calthrop. Tribulus terrestris. The name is explained by the thorniness and goat-head shape of the fruits. TDD 193. The seeds have very sharp spines that are a danger to bare feet and are said to be able to puncture bicycle tires (which is why it is known to some as Puncture Vine). This prickly property may explain why it is a name of an earlier polemical tract. It's said to be an aphrodisiac, which may be good news for some, even if it would seem to have little or nothing to do with polemics. See under gzed ma.

*'A*

•'A Many (not all) believe that the letter 'a represents a prenasalization, as it indeed does in some contexts and in some dialects. It is true that as a prescript, the '- and m- prescripts are often interchangeable (earlier sources have a preference for the m-, as for instance in Mchad-kha-ba and Mkhon family, later 'Chad-kha-ba and 'Khon).

•'A CHUNG This word is indeed used in Sanskritic (mainly mantric) contexts for the subscribed version of the letter that is used to indicate long vowels in foreign languages. Although often done, it does not appear to be valid to use this word when the letter 'a is used as a prescript or postscript letter. I believe the word 'a chung was originally applicable to the vertical stroke that, in Indic scripts, follows an "a" vowel and makes it long.

•YA MA ZUNG Indicates a kind of disparity, in the sense of not forming a pair. In the case of miracles (rdzu 'phrul), it refers to the Buddha's miraculous bifurcation into an upperbody that produced fire while his lower body emitted water. In one case at least (Lde'u 362) I think it refers to miraculous bilocation. I didn't locate any use of this word in the Kanjur, apart from one occurrence in a Nyingma tantra, although it is found in relation to the Buddha's miracles in several Tanjur texts.

Mvy. 6072 (in Skt. it seems to mean armor or coat of mail, primarily as chest protection). Rolf Stein's Tibetica Antiqua 154. Two occurrences of this word located on OTDO. I imagine the possibility this is related to Arabic zarad, Avestan zrādha, with meaning of chain mail. I got the idea while reading D.D.Y. Shapira, "Irano-Arabica: Contamination and Popular Etymology," pp. 151-152 (PDF from the internet). Examples of Bon usage in Gzi-brjid XI 184. [2] sgo'i yar them. Btsan-lha. I only know of one architectural usage of the term, in the Sba-bzhed: pho brang gi ya lad la bod kyi btsan po'i lham btags nas / de'i 'og na phar 'khor dang bcas pa 'dzul nas / nga'i rgyal khams ni btsan po khyod kyi zhabs 'og du 'dzul zhing bcwa (dpya) dang skyes lo thang du 'bul zer te. Here it clearly means the upper part of the door or gateway (lintel or architrave). Btsan-lha gives the same example, but says it is from the Bka'-chems Ka-khol-ma. [3] a high number. Skt. ela. Mvy. 7759. Skt. elu. Mvy. 7888. Note: Btsan-lha makes note of a late usage in the Mi-dbang Rtogs-brjod, although here it is used as a conscious archaism.

•YAN CHAD Also spelled yan chod. When used in temporal rather than spatial contexts, this and its opposite, man chad, cause considerable confusion when faced with the task of translating them. Jaeschke seems to have a mistaken explanation for phrases including the syllables "nas [...] yan chad," that it means 'from [that time] forth' (i.e., toward the present). It would be more accurate to say, 'from the [time of] X upwards (i.e. back) in time to [the time of Y].' Likewise "nas man chad" means 'from that time forward.' There are examples in Mang-thos, Bstan-rtsis which show that Jaeschke and later lexicographers are mistaken in taking "lo brgyad yan chad" as meaning 'above eight years old' if 'above' is taken to mean of higher age; in fact, it means, in effect, 'up to his eighth year.' In lineage accounts contained in thob yig texts, it is quite clear that yan chad means the part of the lineage from that point 'upward' (meaning backward in time), while man chad means from that point 'downward' (forward in time). With numbers, of course, yan would mean going up to higher numbers (with age it is also possible), but in historical time, yan always means backward, man means forward. Hahn, Grammar 170, charts out the various forms corresponding to the pattern: ya > yan > yar > yas. Identical patterns apply to the syllables pha, tshu, ma, phyi and sla. The forms of these syllables that end with 'n' may all have the ending chad added to them.
