Notes on some Prakrit winds
HC Phayam B 74 'besimal, ghee, que greasy
1. Under 'Desinamālā' 5.22 Kemacandra has noted Pk. go for which he has given, besides others, two meaning - equivalents in Sk.: FEST 'besmeared' and FATTET 'greasy'.
In Hāla's Gāhākosa 909 occurs thrice. In verse no. 22 in the compound expression वण्ण-घिअ-तुप्प-मुहिएँ for which there is a variant reading quq-f39-FTT-HEC. In verse no. 520 also we have वण्ण-घिअ-तुप्प-मुहि. In verse no. 289 occurs तुप्पाणणा which is rendered by a commentator as qafct1611. In Bhuvanapāla's recension we have 74179 for Juruumi, rendered as EarthHiSTOT in the commentary.
In the Jain Āgama 'Daśāśrutaskandha' (8122) occurs quam 'whose ends are bemeared with oil.'
In Hemacandra's Siddhahema grammar 3101F-13'bemeared with the oil of Ankośtha’ is cited in the commentary on 8-1-200.
In the 'Desi Sabda Kośa' Iftqa = af&ta from *Anuyogadvāra-curņi' and fuqy = fare from Vipākas'ruta' are noted.
In the 'Gāhākosa' occurs the denominative 70959 (with variants gufa37, guf1737) 'besmeared with ghee' in verse 529.
In 'Setubandha' (15,38) 9 is used in the sense of ghee'. Past passive participle 3gung 'besmeared' of the verb formed from 24 occurs in Jain Āgamika texts. For example : - 37146-ET -fonfeta-ta (Praśnavyaāņkarana’, chapter 3, in the description of thieves) having limbs drenched and besmeared with oil emitted from perspiration. With gyf we

can compare उद्धूलिय (from धूली), उद्धृविय (from धूव) etc. See Bhayani, Some Aspects of Deśya Prakrit, 1992, pp. 72, 77. For NIA derivatives from 19 see CDIAL 5864.
2. Under 'Deśināmamālā' 3,15 g is noted with the meaning FETTET 'greasy'. At 'Siddhahema' 8,1 the verb 214qç is noted as synonymous with Sk. 991. guise etc. occur frequently in Prakrit literature in the sense of 'besmeared with grease'. For NIA derivatives see CDIAL 4865 (709 / 21109). 214€ occurs in the sense of a greasy substance like oil, ghee etc.' in NIA languages.
3. From Sk. 94, Pk. Hal to besmear' is derived H. CH, G. GU 'butter' etc. See CDIAL 10378.
4. If like altugę and we take ng as primarily meaning “to besmear', then 504 and afuqy 'besmeared' can be regarded as formed like फुट्ट and फुट्टिय, तुट्ट and तुट्टिय etc. and तुप्पव् from तुप्प as a denominative with तुप्पविअ as past passive participle. Later semantic development as 'besmearing', 'grease', 'ghee can account for 194 / 99 'ghee'. Turner indicates that go and q are related. In a few Prakrit words we find palatal consonants (c, j) taking the place of dentals (t, d) or conversely 1 for cand d forj. See Pischel's Comparative Grammar of Prakrit Languages, 215, 216. We can compare चिट्ठइ and तिष्ठति, चुच्छ and तुच्छ with चुप्प and तुप्प . Or alternatively regard चुप्प as prior.
* The present discussion of 79 is a considerably expanded version of a short note on उत्तुप्पिय that was included in my paper 'तीन अर्धमागधी
tai 8T in Muni Sri Hajarimal Sunni-Girantha'. 1905. pp. 771772 ; reprinted in my collection Studies in Des'ya Prakrit'. 1988. pp. 192-194.

In veiw of the variant घिअ-लित्त for घिअ-तुप्प and the citation 310 --in the 'Siddhahema', I find untenable Tieken's view that in verse 20 709 means to (i.e. 1937-944 is a compound of two synonyms) and that the meaning afera is based on a misunderstanding (Herman Tieken, 'Hāla's Sattasai as a source of pseudo-Deśī words', Bulletin D'etudes Indiennes, 10, 1992. p. 235). Pk. fiasfrie
In PSM. this word is noted from Pindanirsyukti 239 with the sense 'एकत्र पिण्डीकृत'. But Bollée has referred to परिकद्रुलिय (should it be originally 4f $184 ?) from Ratnacandra's dictionary and has pointed to the occurrence of yfirruse in the same sense (p. 466, 495). So face is a wrong from. It derives from Sk. fione, Pk. fias.
