N. B. — T postfixed indicates a Tibetan etymon for the word, H a Hindi origin, P 

 a Parbatia or Khas, and N a Newar, ditto. It was not in my power to do more 

 than collect vocables. I could not ascertain structure : but comparing all the words 

 I conceive the anomalies of the verbs may be set right by assuming Sa to be the 

 infinitival sign, and ang, varied to chang, yang and nang, the participial one. —
