    p. 228, col. 1.
    abela Tatpur. (?) 1. m. (-laḥ) Denial or concealment of

    knowledge (= apahnava).

    2. f. (-lā) Chewed Betel. E. ? perhaps, a neg. and

    belā; (the Śabdabheda portion of Viśva's Kosha mentions

    the word amongst those which are to be written with a

    b, not with a v; it seems doubtful therefore whether the

    masc. may be referred to ava and ilā).
