subject, discoursing, eloquence; Atharv.: ālāpāśca pralā-

pāścābhīlāpalapaśca ye . śarīraṃ sarve prāviśannāyujaḥ prayujo

yujaḥ; where abhīlāpalapaḥ is either a Dwandwa: discoursing

and speech in general; or perhaps an irregular intensitive

formation with the reduplication of the whole radical in-

stead of its first syllable; the masc. ye being accounted for

by the preceding masculines. Comp. abhīmoda. E. lap

with abhi, kṛt aff. ghañ, and the second syllable protracted.
