पांशुलिक (pAMzulika)

 
Edgerton Buddhist Hybrid
English
pāṃśulika, nt., or °kā (= AMg. paṃsuliyā
cf. Pali phāsulī, °likā
the aspiration in Pali ph- is unhistorical), rib: °likāni °likāntarāṇi Mv 〔ii.125.15〕
〔127.2〕
〔128.8〕
〔129.10〕
to be read thus, or else pāṃśulikāntarāṇi (omitting °likāni), (ribs and) interstices between the ribs
so the mss. clearly indicate tho with various corruptions
confirmed by AMg.
Senart em. pārśuli°. The form is of course related to Skt. parśu(kā), BHS pārśukā, q.v., and is hyper-Sktized from the MIndic represented by AMg., which has nasalized vowel for double consonant (or long vowel), by the ‘law of morae’.
