No. 26. — 1883.] SINHALESE INSCRIPTIONS. 



23 



seems to be only a clerical error for naengu, (line 24, 25 ;) but 

 may be also an intermediate state between this and namwd 

 of Nigcanka Malla's inscriptions. 



roalan : — "bracelet," Skt. walayai^km. 169; Gp. A 19, 

 B 22); more modern wael (Kavy. XII., 81). The cerebral 

 I cannot be accounted for. 



nadali: — ? 



naengi: — comp. nanwd. This form, as well as naengu, 

 occurs at Ambasthala (Journ. C. A. S. 1880, p. 11), and 

 seems to be a genuine form ; whereas laengu «=■ Pali lan- 

 gketvd, and nanwd, are tatsamas. 



dukpatun :— acc. pi. = duhkhaprdpta. 



suwapat : == sukhaprdpta. 



nakd : = nikdya (Amb. A 20 ; P. P. 13.) 



samanga ; = samdgra. 



da : = dhdtu.

ganit :• — comp. Nicganka Malla's inscription at Polon-

 similar form is kaenditi (P. P. 32.) 



kaeraewu : — past part, of karawanawd. 



wehedayi : = rcedayi (Ruwan. D 10; S. M., B. 16; Gp. A. 

 21). This form seems to be the original one, and the other 

 a contraction ; but I am not sure about the etymology of 

 the word. 



piyumak: = padma, Falipaduma. 



saepat: == sampatti. Comp. Gp. G 11. A corrupted 

 tatsama of the same derivation is the modern sanipa 

 " healthy." 



dewd : = dattvd, corrupted tatsama derivation from 

 denawd ; just like enwd from enarod (Amb. A 58). 

 utte : — ? 



sakak : " six," older form caka (Hab. 4). This seems to
