wisihatara, panas/ hatara). Pasaya = Pali paccayo (Comp. 

 VI, B 20.) 



2) Pdsu, also written pahasu, = Pali phasu. 



3) Plnlsae " for, on account of." The origin of this word 

 is not known to me. 



4) Bat " boiled rice" = bhakta. 



5) Ginuwa yaewin. I do not understand. Yaewin is 

 however perhaps derived from yava " barley." 



6) Yd la, a measure. 7) mehi " here," originally Loca- 

 tive of me " this." 



8) Mae see IV., 3. 9) Ha either from saha or from ca 7 

 "and." 



10) Pidu ptijita, Past Participle of pudanawa. 



11) Pdsayen, ablative pasa. The meaning I cannot make 

 out. 



12) Plrinaemu = parinamita, Past Participle. 



13) Labhaya antardya kalawun. Antaraya kalawun is to 

 be taken as one verb on which an accusative depends. If 

 the first two words were to form a compound, we would 

 have labha-antaraya, as below G. Kalawun plural of kala 

 " having done" = krta. 



C. 



1) Windind " finding," " which they find." We should 

 expect windina (Comp. IX., 10.) 



2) Nardkadi " hell." The simple word naraka has come 

 to be used as an adjective in the sense of u bad" in Sin- 

 halese. The use of Substantives for Adjectives is a very 

 interesting chapter in Simhalese Grammar, which however 

 I cannot here detail. 



3) Duk = duhkha. 



4) Daen = idanim (Pali dani) or adhuna. 



5) Matu Matu " in future, in future," " for all future." 

 MatUy I believe, is mastake, as it were "a head." In 



Pali this word has acquired an opposite meaning^ as ito
