फलह (phalaha)

 
Edgerton Buddhist Hybrid
English
phalaha-, also written °kha, °ka, in comp. with stāra (cf. AMg. phalaha, defined as a big plank, Ratnach., and identified with Skt. phalaka), some part of a gate or door: Mv 〔i.195.13〕
〔iii.228.10〕 (prose
same passage)
following the sentence containing phalikha- (q.v.)-phalakāni
in 〔i.195.13〕 mss. phalaha-stārā(ḥ), Senart em. phalaka-
in 〔iii.228.10〕 he reads phalaka° without v.l., but acc. to his 〔note i p. 530〕, on the other passage, one ms. at least reads phalakha-stārā(ḥ)
it seems reasonably clear that the AMg. form, conceivably with °kha for °ha, was read in Mv. (Cf. phalikāstaraṇa? but I cannot mediate between these two forms, both enigmatic.)
