ETYMOLOGY OF SOJIE MYTHOLOGICAL NAMES. 
transferred to a musical instrument wliich is called %vnT- 
kinnarl. The word has emigrated to Europe and assumed 
various forms as Grr. Kiddpa, Lat. cithara, cithern, cittern, 
guitar and A.S. eytere. If we compare these allied words 
and others given in a group of words called Siras-group, in 
the Second Part of my Notes on Aryan and Dravidian 
Philology, Vol. I, which will be published hereafter, we 
may be quite convinced that the word Gandharva is allied 
to the words included in this group, and radically means, 
as already said, ' hairy,' and is applied to a horse, a kind 
of quadruped like a deer, a kind of celestial being, and, 
in a modified form, as ^SR"^ , is used for a lion. In the 
Gr. Kivravpo'i there is a mixture of the above ideas, a 
hairy animal and a celestial being, which are embodied in the 
conceptions of i^'H<-Kinnara ' haiiy ' and d^JN^H Turanga- 
vadana ' horse-faced.'
