the end of 45 of a hookah is dirty, but it is called 1947 meaning also 'clean'. ari 'salty' is called to 'sweet'. ar "knife' is also called us which also means that which has increased'.
5. In the non-standard Sanskrit of Jain Prabandha works many fanciful etymologies are advanced. Pk. Yf631 'shoe derived form Sk. 341-1641 is re-Sanskritised as wifea 'beneficial for the life ! Guj. 9 TH 'old man' is Sanskritised as is
: 'he whose hands dangle'. DET (CEC a meter of that name' is Sanskritised as g76721207 'a pot of milk' (probably based on the wrong alternative name 779, which is a different

In the case of the use of furat ('auspicious' for that which is really considered feral 'inauspicious*) and FIS 'sweet' (which is actually 31747 'acid'), the verbal taboo has prevailed, under the belief that if an unauspicious word is spoken the harmful thing may possibly materialize.
