Englishaṅka-dhātrī, nurse who carries a baby on her hip: Mvy 〔9478〕
Divy 〔475.12〕, defined 13—14: aṅkadhātrīty ucyate yā dārakam aṅkena parikarṣayaty aṅgapratyaṅgāni ca saṃsthāpayati. Tib. on Mvy paṅ na = aṅka, which it seems must be the orig. form, since in India babies are carried on the hip. Yet in all other cases the word is written aṃsa-dh° (or aṃśa-, in mss. also atsa-), and this seems to have had real currency, as shown s.v. For the cliché see s.v. kṣīra-dhātrī.
