Edgerton Buddhist Hybrid
Englishyan (yaṃ) nu (cf. next
in Pali represented by yan nūna), conj., suppose now, with opt. of 1st person
extremely common in most texts, but I have failed to note it in Mv, which uses yan nūna(ṃ) instead: SP 〔73.2, 14〕
〔322.1〕
LV 〔14.16〕
〔95.22〕
〔101.5〕
〔137.17〕
Divy 〔95.10〕
Av 〔i.3.4〕
Samādh 〔19.12, 14〕
etc.
in text of MSV regularly printed yat tu (yat tv aham …), possibly by misreading? (e.g. 〔i.90.1〕).
yan (yaṃ) nūna, (before aham) also nūnam but in Mv nūnāhaṃ, rarely nūnaṃ (= Pali yan nūna, rarely nūnaṃ
cf. prec.), suppose now, with 1 sg. opt. or (rarely) indic.
acc. to PTSD, Pali yan nūna is or may be used in the mg. suppose rather, suggesting an alternative to some other course: once SP seems clearly to favor this
after yan nu … nirgamayeyaṃ SP 〔73.2—3〕, suppose I cause them to come out …, a tentative proposal, there follows: yan nūnam aham etān saṃcodayeyam 〔73.5〕, suppose rather …, with nūnam instead of nu
no other so clear case, but rather may, at least possibly, be meant in yaṃ nūna … SP 〔55.10〕 (vs), suppose (instead of entering nirvāṇa) that I (reveal the Buddha-bodhi)
〔196.7〕 (vs)
LV 〔393.2〕 (vs)
also in yan nūnāhaṃ Mv 〔i.35.1〕
〔37.7〕
〔54.12〕
〔343.6〕
〔ii.117.18〕
but the mg. suppose rather seems hardly possible in yan nūnam aham … LV 〔258.21〕 (vs
verb here samārabhe, could be opt. or 1 sg. ind. mid.)
nor in most of the following: yaṃ nūnaṃ Mv 〔i.268.3〕
yan nūnāhaṃ 〔i.51.7〕 (prose
verb is tiṣṭhehaṃ, see 〔§ 31.21〕, v.l. °eyaṃ), 14 (verb is sthātum icchāmi, pres. ind.)
〔ii.118.5, 11〕 (in 11, if Senartʼs text is right, no verb! only dats. of nouns! since adhigami and sākṣākari in 12 seems clearly aorists, statements of fact, not dependent on yan nūnāhaṃ, which is foll. by etasyaiva dharmasya prāptaye sākṣātkriyāyai
which seems to complete the sentence)
〔124.9〕
with pres. indic. verb 〔ii.149.21〕 (here rather is perh. possible for yan nūnāhaṃ). In Pali, besides opt., fut. indic. is recorded: Childers 〔603, top of 2d column〕
cf. tiṣṭhehaṃ Mv 〔i.51.7〕, above.
