pulapan :— "cocoanut" (Nam. 136.) At Mineri (123) 

 A 49, we find pulup hoL The word is probably derived from 

 phala by the same suffix/? which we have in watup " garden" 

 = watu (Kavy. X., 99), Pali drdmavatthu in Mahavagga 

 III., 5, 6, and in watup " wages" (Nam. 209; Gutt. 176; 

 Kavy. XIII., 64), spelt waetum at Amb. A 47. If so, the 

 dental I is the original.

 The older form madhuka occurs (Kong. D 4).
