  (Preferably) वरं usually followed by न च or न
पुनर् as ‘rather death than poverty, ’ वरं मृत्युर् न च दारिद्रं.
The root शिष् with वि may be used to express the sense
of ‘rather, ’ as ‘rather death than dishonour, ’ अपमानात्
प्राणत्यागो विशिष्यते or the sense may be expressed by some
other construction,  as ‘I would rather that the sons of
Dhṛtarāṣtra should kill me in the battle, ’ यदि मां धार्त्त-
राष्ट्रा रणे हन्युस् तन् मे क्षेमतरं भवेत्. See PREFERABLE,  PRE-
FERABLY.
— (Somewhat,  a little) ईषत्,  किञ्चित्,  किमपि
 ‘rather
less, ’ ईषदूनः -ना -नं,  किञ्चिन्न्यूनः -ना -नं.
