Paütthavas (66) is taken up again in 70 and seems to tie together the clusters 65-6-7 and 70-1-2, and panaajana in 71 and 76 (two gâthâ-s not otherwise connected) the clusters 70-1-2 and 74-5-6-78. Sohagga (69), chana and soha (68) (68 and 69 are not otherwise integrated) are taken up again in 79 and 80 and seem to connect the "higher-level" cluster formed by pautthavaf with that one formed by nhâna and to overlap in this way the cluster with panaajana. As can be expected there do occur gâthâ-s that are not integrated in this formal way, for instance 157-8-9 in

cimta Such gâthâ-s may have been placed there on the basis of several other principles than that of concatenation by means of words. I want to avoid the term "interpolation" in this context. In the first place because the compiler of a kośa is - or can feel himself - fully in his right to deviate from his main principle of arrangement, and in the second place because I am not able to distinguish these deviations from the changes made by scribes (which are indeed interpolations !).
A concatenation by means of words can be seen in the whole of the Gangadharaversion, although one may incidentally come across with gâthâ-s or groups of gâthâ-s that are not formally integrated. This concatenation shows up in different patterns, while also the amount of complexity of these patterns may vary.
In the following paragraph I will discuss a sample portion from the Gangadharaversion, from gâthâ 30 up to and including 51. I do not claim that this portion and the pattern of concatenation as found in it is representative for the whole of the version, nor that it is not. I even have the impression that the pattern in which the words that are repeated show up is extremely complex. On the other hand I think that what can be said about this portion in terms of generalizations is in a way also
