the word occurs in the second meaning, in a mathematical

of candra q. v. are used likewise so, it seemed to me neces-

sary to infer this mathematical application from the mean-

ing ‘moon’, which would arise from the etymon of the

word in the same way as abja 2. 1. q. v. Comp. also śve-

tadhāman ‘moon and cuttle fish bone’.)
