GLOSSARY OF TIBETAN TERMS,

THEIR SPELLING AND TRANSLITERATION.

WITH QUOTATIONS OF THE EXPLANATION CONTAINED IN THIS

VOLUME.

ALPHABETICALLY ARRANGED.

In order to facilitate the printing, the spelling in native characters has been excluded from the text, and I present here a general synopsis in which every term met with in the preceding parts can easily be found.

The first column gives the pronunciation; the second the Tibetan spelling; the third the transliteration; in the fourth the page is added in which details about the respective term are contained.

The Tibetan terms may be monosyllabic or they may consist of several words, but the Tibetan language also shows frequent examples of compositions; several words which of themselves have a distinct meaning, and are as such in general use, often occur combined and forming one term.

Many words show a considerable difference between the pronunciation and the spelling. In most cases the difference is based upon grammatical rules; in others we have to explain it by supposing the influence of dialects, in consequence of which many words have become invested with a form different from that which they have in the classical stationary language of the sacred Buddhist literature. I have already had occasion to allude to this introduction of numerous new forms into the modern popular Tibetan, when analysing the historical document. obtained at Hímis (see p. 183).

The alphabet I use for the transliteration in the third column is given in full detail p. XI-XIV. The consonants not pronounced are printed in Italics; the Tibetan intersyllabic points are rendered, as is usually done, by small horizontal lines.
