1. STO _Combination of your+#'one other', i.e. another. Compare Marāthī sposta.
जि-short form of जव-एव. Compare दा and जा for दाव and जाव from यावत् and ata; Pischel $ 150. It is also used as an expletive,
2. rigouragon—The shortening of final et of feminines. It is common in Apbh. cf. दुहिय, लक्ष्य and कन्न below. - 3. तहिणिय and तहिंतणई (line 4 below)-Compare note on ताहं तणिय in II 9 above.
Hurrengforzo etc. appears to be a misreading. B. reads Hugurguig, which is not so absurd and should mean HateTrani, an attributive Instrumental. The a clearly has been misread or miswritten for g, not an unusual mistake. Or is the reading मणहरणत्थाणिय? We see how अच्छउ has been misread for अत्थउ above, as the letters representing ay and nu are so similar. What was therefore py in the original was read like y. This would also suit the context. In line. 2 above we already have कुवलयदलच्छि . Jacobi also reads स्थाणिंदुझ.
5. cuff tif-Has got to be construed with the last line. Read y en are o n Tufa atgaurs -'He accidentally looked at her form, playing with a ball'.
6. farefo-As fate would have it'.
9. j and attorg-Acc. Pl. of Neuter-9 bases. Also Tuš, Hrquratturg. The penultimate is usually long as in STATE. Perhaps the shortening is due to metre.
