श्वसा (zvasA)

 
Edgerton Buddhist Hybrid
English
śvasā, n. sg., mother-in-law: Mvy 〔3894〕 = Tib. sgyug mo. Evidently for Skt. śvaśrū with ending modified by that of svasā (svasṛ), sister
MIndic forms of the two words resemble each other more closely, cf. Pkt. sussū with susā, sister. Mironov reads svasā in Mvy
but the mg. is certainly mother-in-law, as shown not only by Tib. but by the position of the word, after śvaśura.
