PREFACE.
This work represents a new and thoroughly revised edition of a Tibetan-German
Dictionary, which appeared in a lithographed form between the years 1871 and 1876.
During a residence, which commenced in 1857 and extended over a number of
years, on the borders of Tibet and among Tibetan tribes, I and my colleagues gathered
the materials for this Dictionary.
We had to take primarily into account the needs of missionaries entering upon new
regions, and then of those who might hereafter follow into the same field of enterprize.
The chief motive of all our exertions lay always in the desire to facilitate and to hasten
the spread of the Christian religion and of Christian civilization, among the millions of
Buddhists, who inhabit Central Asia, and who speak and read in Tibetan idioms.
A yet more definite object influenced my own personal linguistic researches, in as
much as I had undertaken to make preparations for the translation of the Holy Scrip-
tures into the Tibetan speech. J approached and carried forward this task by way of
a careful examination of the full sense and exact range of words in their ordinary and
common usage. For it seemed to me that, if Buddhist readers were to be brought into
contact with Biblical and Christian ideas, the introduction to so foreign and strange a
train of thought, and one making the largest demands upon the character and the imagi-
nation, had best be made through the medium of a phraseology and diction as simple,
as clear, and as popular as possible. My instrument must be, as in the case of every
successful translator of the Bible, so to say, not a technical, but the vulgar tongue.
Thus, in contrast to the business of the European philologist, engaged in the same
domain, who quite rightly occupies himself with the analysis and commentary of a lite-
rary language, the vocabulary and terminology of which he finds mainly deposited in
the speculative writings of the Buddhist philosophers, it became my duty to embrace
every opportunity, with which my presence on the spot favoured me, to trace the living
powers of words and of expressions through their consecutive historical applications, till
I reached their last signification in their modern equivalents, as these are embodied in
the provincial dialects of the native tribes of our own time.
These circumstances, it is hoped, will excuse and explain the system of my work.
As an inventory of the whole treasure of the language, as a finished key to its lite-
rature, this Dictionary, when judged by the high standard of modern lexicography, may
seem inadequate ; I have, for instance, been unable to consult, much as I could have wished
to have done so, all the original and translated treatises in Tibetan which, down to the
present, have appeared in Europe, and the reader of a Tibetan work may thus, here and
there, look in vain for the assistance he expects. On the other hand, a consistent attempt
is here made for the first time, 1. to give a rational account of the development of the
values and meanings of words in this language; 2. to distinguish precisely the various
IV
transitions in periods of literature and varieties of dialect; 3. to make sure of each step
by the help of accurate and copious illustrations and examples. I have done my utmost
to arm^e at certainty where, heretofore, much was mere guess-work, and I cherish the
hope that, from this point of view, my contribution will be welcomed by the comparative
philologist, and will be serviceable to the general cause of learning, as well as a useful
volume within that narrower circle, whose requirements I was specially bound not to
overlook, of persons whose main purpose is to be taught how to write and speak the mo-
dern Tibetan tongue.
There are two Chief periods of literary activity to be noticed in studying the origin
and growth of Tibetan literature and the landmarks in the history of the language. The
first is the Period of Translations which, however, might also be entitled the Classical
Period, for the sanctity of the religious message conferred a corresponding reputation
and tradition of excellence upon the form , in which it was conveyed. This period be-
gins in the first half of the seventh century, when Thonini Sambhota, the minister of
king Srongtsangampo, was sent to India to learn Sanskrit. His invention of the Tibetan
alphabet gave a twofold impulse: for several centuries the wisdom of India and the in-
genuity of Tibet laboured in unison and with the greatest industry and enthusiasm at the
work of translation. The tribute due to real genius must be awarded to these early pioneers
of Tibetan grammar. They had to grapple with the infinite wealth and refinement of
Sanskrit, they had to save the independence of their own tongue, while they strove to
subject it to the rule of scientific principles, and it is most remarkable, how they managed
to produce translations at once literal and faithful to the spirit of the original. The first
masters had made for their later disciples a comparatively easy road, for the style and
contexts of the writings, with which the translators had to deal, present very uniform fea-
tures. When once typical patterns had been furnished, it was possible for the literary
manufacture to be extended by a sort of mechanical process.
A considerable time elapsed before natives of Tibet began to indulge in compositions
of their own. When they did so, the subject matter, chosen by them to operate upon,
was either of an historical or a legendary kind. In this Second Period the language shows
much resemblance to the modern tongue, approaching most closely the present idiom of
Central Tibet. We find a greater freedom in construction, a tendency to use abbreviated
forms (thus the mere verbal root is often inflected in the place of a complete infinitive),
and a certain number of new T grammatical combinations.
The present language of the people has as many dialects, as the country has provinces.
Indeed, as in most geographically similar districts, well nigh every separate mountain
valley has its own singularities as to modes of utterance and favourite collocations of words.
Especially is it interesting to note, in respect to pronunciation, how the old consonants,
which would seem to have been generally sounded and spoken twelve centuries ago, when
the Tibetan written character came into existence, and which, at any rate, are marked by
the primitive system of writing, remain still extant; every one of them can still be disinterr-
ed, somewhere or other, from some local peculiarity of language, and thus even the very
diversity of modern practice can be made to bear testimony to the standards imposed by
what was termed above the Classical Period. (Compare my Essay on the Phonetic System
of the Tibetan language in the Monthly Reports of the Royal Academy of Science at
Berlin 1867, p. 148 etc.)
I have already adverted to the circumstances which, especially in the case of the
student, who has for immediate object to learn how to read and write the Tibetan language,
render existing dictionaries almost if not quite useless. They give but scanty information
concerning modes of construction, variations and limits of actual application , shades of
meaning etc. In my own case, I was forced from the beginning to compile my own
German-Tibetan dictionary, and found myself for all practical purposes thrown back upon
my own resources. But the cause of truth appears to require a further word or two in
regard to the Lexicon by Professor I. J. Schmidt of St. Petersburg, the relation of that
work to its predecessors having been left by its author in some obscurity.
The first Tibetan dictionary, intended for European students, was published atSeram-
pore, as long ago as 1826. It contains the collections, amassed in view of a dictionary
and grammar, by a Roman Catholic missionary, who was stationed in eastern Tibet or
close to the frontier in Bhotan. There was nothing to assist him, except the scanty con-
tributions, given by Georgi, in his Alphabetum Tibetanum. He had to cope with an
entirely unworked language. He evidently took the one way possible of making acquaint-
ance with it, sufficient to enable him to understand, to speak, to read and write. Each
word or sentence was jotted down, as soon as it was heard, or was committed to writing,
at the request of the learner, by some native expert. After a while, the attempt could be
made to master a book. In the instance of our missionary, Padma Sambhava's book of
legends appears to have been selected, a work which represents rather a low level of li-
terature, yet just on that account, perhaps, as a specimen of popular and current literature,
not unsuitable to start from. Then, step by step, as best he could, our missionary had to
possess himself of some abstract views, which would serve as a preliminary basis for a
grammar. And had it been granted to this first occupant of the field to reduce his materials
to an ordered system and to prepare them himself for publication, it is possible, that in
Europe the knowledge of the Tibetan language might have reached, some fifty years
earlier, the stage at which it has now arrived. The very name of that Roman Catholic
missionary, however, has been lost. The papers which he left behind him, unsorted and
unsifted, came into the hands of Major Latter, an English officer, and were passed on
by him to Mr. Schroter, a missionary in Bengal. English was substituted for the
Italian of the manuscript, and the East India Company made a grant which defrayed the
cost of the Tibetan types and the further expenses of printing. But there was no Tibetan
scholar to correct the proofs. The author himself would doubtless, on reconsideration,
have detected and dismissed much erroneous or unnecessary matter. As it was, many
additional mistakes crept in during the passage through the press. Thus the work, though
it has a richer vocabulary than can be found in the later dictionaries, cannot on any
questionable point be accepted as an authority, and has only value for those who are al-
ready competent, for themselves, to weigh and decide upon the statements and interpre-
tations it advances. I have not been able to extract from it much that was serviceable to
me. Nevertheless, any one who knows by experience what time and toil such a work
must have cost, though its design remained unfulfilled and its object unaccomplished, will
not easily be able to repress his indignation at the tone, in which this book in the preface
to his Grammar (p. VI) is recklessly and absolutely condemned by Professor Schmidt.
High praise, however, is awarded by the Professor to a second work, the Tibetan-
English Dictionary by Csoma de Koros, which appeared in 1834. This work deserves
all eulogy; but the Professor's manner, which imitates that of a master commending a
pupil, is, though on other grounds, as unwarranted and as offensive in this as in the former
case. The work of Csoma de Koros is that of an original investigator and the fruit of
almost unparalleled determination and patience. The compiler, in order to dedicate him-
self to the study of Tibetan literature, lived like a monk for years among the inmates of a
Tibetan monastery. It is to be regretted that, with the knowledge he certainly must have
possessed of the later language and literature, he should have restricted the scope of his
labours to the earlier periods of literature, and when in his Grammar conversational
VI
phrases are quoted as examples, they are almost without exception in the dialect of the
Kangyur, and of little practical value.
This Tibetan-English dictionary by Csoma has been adapted for a German public
by Professor I. J. S chmidt of St. Petersburg. The translation from English into German
is good; in the general alphabetical arrangement improvements have been introduced,
and such as are in conformity with the spirit of the language ; moreover, three Mongolian
dictionaries have been consulted, and from these a certain number of words have been sup-
plemented. But it cannot be said that even on the work of revision Professor Schmidt
has bestowed much pains. For example, Csoma's rough grouping of words under the prin-
cipal headings is left unaltered, though here especially a reduction to alphabetical order
was obviously required. Mistakes and superfluities, very pardonable in the case of a first
issue of an original publication, are repeated in this translation, and these cannot be so
readily overlooked and condoned, when they are made at second hand, and are sanctioned
and subscribed to by one, who has assumed so severe a critical and editorial attitude.
The national dictionaries of Tibet itself, so far as I have met with such, are either
little haadbooks, meant only to furnish a correct orthography, or they are glossaries of
antiquated forms. The absence of an alphabetical order in them makes the business of
reference very troublesome. It is by great good luck that one sometimes finds an other-
wise unknown word after a prolonged search.
My own dictionary, in the main, pursues the object and accepts the plan of the work,
which was published by Mr. Schroter. As I said at the beginning, I have not restricted
myself to the Classical Period, but I have endeavoured to deal with the Tibetan language
as a whole, though I do not pretend to have performed this task exhaustively. My dic-
tionary derives its matter and its principles, so far as possible, equally from the literature
and from the speech of the people. Each word has been made the object of observation
in its relation to the context as it occurs in books , and in its value and place among
others when it is used in common conversation, and then the attempt has been made to
define its range and to fix its meaning.
All the words, cited by Csoma and Schmidt, even such as I myself had never seen
or heard, I have embodied in this work, stating, in each case, the source from whence I
drew them.
The signification in Sanskrit has been added, whenever this seemed likely to be
useful or interesting to the student of Tibetan literature. Of proper names only the most
important are given.
The great number of diacritical marks will perhaps prove irksome to the English
reader; yet, they were not to be dispensed with, if the pronunciation of Tibetan letters
and words was to be represented with any degree of exactness, and the method of Prof.
Lepsius seemed the most eligible among all the systems available for my purpose. The
student, however, need not be disheartened, as he is not obliged to make himself acquaint-
ed with all the minutiae of the system, but need only direct his attention to the peculiari-
ties of that dialect, within the limits of which his inquiries, for the time, are confined.
And by-the-by it may be observed, that the multitude of little marks, of manifold descrip-
tion, cannot be startling to the Indian reader, who was ever necessitated to make himself
familiar with systems quite as complicated, as e.g. the Urdu alphabet.
One word more of apology. Of publications in general it has been said, that
"when human care has done its best, there will be found a certain percentage of error".
And the probability is but too great, that this dictionary will exhibit a number of defi-
ciencies and faults, in the English text as well as in the Tibetan transcript. Still, I ven-
ture to hope that an indulgent Public will be ready to make every reasonable allowance.
in consideration of the peculiar difficulties, which attach to the execution of a work like
the present, and which, moreover, were not a little increased, in this instance, by the
fact that the compositors of the press were altogether unacquainted with English.
I should be guilty of great ingratitude, if I were not to mention my obligations to
two friends, without whose kind and efficient aid it would have been impossible for me,
in my present infirm state, to complete this work, which was commenced in the days of
health and vigour, viz. to the Rev. T. Rei die It, formerly a Missionary of the Moravian
Church in, South Africa, and to Mr. F. W. Petersen, a relative of mine.
Further, I desire to record ray obligations for various acts of kindness, encouragement,
assistance and advice, during the prosecution of my researches and the completion of my
work, to A. C. Burnell Esq. M. R. A. S., in India; Dr. E. Schlagintweit in Bavaria,
Dr. Thomson and Dr. Aitchison of Kew, Dr. Kurz of Calcutta, and R. Laing Esq.
M. A., Fellow of Corpus Christi College, Oxford.
Not the least debt of gratitude is that which I owe to Dr. R. Rost in London, Secre-
tary of the Royal Asiatic Society, to whose exertions, indeed, the execution of this work
is, properly speaking, entirely due, inas much as he kindly interested the Indian Govern-
ment on behalf of my undertaking.

The names of all the Consonants sound in a, pronounced like the a in the English
word 'far'.

t^J 'a (basis for vowels)
2/0, when combined, as second consonant, with k- and p-sounds, or with in,
is written under the first letter, assuming the shape of ^, thus Q %a, J pya,
5J mya etc.
**) a; ra -> wnen combined as second letter, with k-, t- and p-sounds is written under
the first, in the shape of -j, thus: ^1, kra, ^ tra, ^ bra etc. When com-
bined with another consonant as first letter, it is written over the second, thus:
ff] rka, ^ rha, 5 rda etc., but it is seldom heard in speaking.
The so-called Sanskrit Cerebrals are represented in Tibetan letters by ^, P, ^, ^>, p,
IX
and when in this dictionary they are transcribed, they are marked by a dot underneath :
*, /, d, n, s.
The figure < (wa-zur or small wo) attached to the foot of a letter, is often used to
distinguish homonyms in writing , e.g. & fsa hot and 3> fsa (fswa) salt.
The dot, which stands at the end of every syllable and of every word, is called Tseg
(fseg) and is indispensable for a correct writing or reading.
When ^H stands as a prefix, it is, when transcribed, represented by y, e.g.
ycig, ^]^^ ytam etc.
VOWELS.
The alphabetical order of the vowels is: a, i, u, e, o; they have in Tibetan the same
sound as they have in German, Italian, and most other European languages: a sounds
like the English a in 'far', i like ee in 'peer' or i in 'pin', u like u in 'rule' or in 'pull', e
like a in 'fate' or e in 'met', o like o in 'note' or in 'not'.
As the vowel a is inherent in every consonant, so that even a single letter may form
a word, e.g. ^* ba (cow), $!* sa (earth), there is no special character or letter required
for this vowel. The other four vowels are represented by little hooks, ^ standing for *, ^
for M, "^ for , ~^ for o. The marks for i, e, o are placed over the letter, that for u under
it. Examples: K*&T pad-ma, *\ ri, $|" me, ^*&f bu-mo.
The letter ^ is used as a basis for initial vowels, thus-^ {T$T 'a-ma; the letter Py
serves as a basis for initial and final vowels : CyJ* ^o-ma, ^K-V dga.
The vowel-sounds of P^, when transcribed, are indicated by the mark : P^a, P^,
P^w, P^ < ^, W^ < o, whilst the l^-vowels are denoted by the mark ' placed over the re-
spective letters: IJ 'a, iS) V, ^ X ^ '^ ^ 'o. The real nature of the letters P^ and
!{ is treated of in the latter part of the Introduction.
Whenever P^ is a prefixed letter, the mark o, in transcribing, is put under the con-
sonant following the P^ e.g. P^ O du,
Note. For a ready 'finding of words' in the Dictionary, it should be borne in mind,
that the articles are arranged in the alphabetical order of the initial consonants and their
prefixed and superscribed letters. Thus: TJ ^T| ^T| fh a S_ .
etc. etc.
II. PRONUNCIATION.
With regard to the language, with which I am dealing, it must, on the one hand,
be admitted, that distinctions between sounds and, especially, variations in the mode of
expressing their values as embodied in a written character, are far more numerous in
Tibetan than either in Sanskrit or Hindi, in which two languages there is really little or
no opening for mistake or ambiguity in this respect. But on the other hand, Tibetan is

II. PRONUNCIATION.
With regard to the language, with which I am dealing, it must, on the one hand,
be admitted, that distinctions between sounds and, especially, variations in the mode of
expressing their values as embodied in a written character, are far more numerous in
Tibetan than either in Sanskrit or Hindi, in which two languages there is really little or
no opening for mistake or ambiguity in this respect. But on the other hand, Tibetan is
scarcely more irregular than French pronunciation, and a few definite rules enjoy univer-
sally recognized acceptation.
There is, however, one special difficulty in the case of Tibetan which, at the present
stage of that language, renders it practically impossible to set up an equable and autho-
ritative standard of pronunciation, and this is the existence of a great number of indepen-
dent and well-defined dialects. An attempt to deal partially with this difficulty, to
append, let me suppose, to every word from three to five different pronunciations would
involve a waste of time and an extension of space quite disproportionate to the value of
the result. And yet, if one has to strike a preference in favour of one particular dialect,
it is very hard to determine, which is to be selected. At first sight, it might seem the
most natural course to fix upon the speech of the best educated classes in the capital city
Lhasa. But when this method was followed, or when at least an endeavour was made to
act upon it, by Georgi and then by Schroter, only scant approval was bestowed upon
it by European critics, and there were and are several reasonable arguments to be urged
against its adoption. Of all the dialects this presents to the European ear and tongue the
greatest difficulties, and accommodates itself least readily to the written character. More-
over, in my own case, I have to add that I do not consider myself sufficiently master of
it to care to risk its application to each individual word. Besides, modern political cir-
cumstances make this dialect, for the present, the least available for general use.
Csoma chose a much more manageable and a much more widely circulating mode
of pronunciation, though one which presents problems of its own, when it has to be fitted
to the written character: the West-Tibetan dialect. Here again, in representing each
separate word, one has, in reality, to make choice between two, three or four pronuncia-
tions, of which one agrees best with the written character, another conforms closest to
the rules of spelling, a third recommends itself as that most frequent in conversational
language. In my own smaller Tibetan dictionary I went no farther than to distinguish
between two principal groups, which I termed West-Tibetan and Central-Tibetan; but
in a more scientific work like the present I may permit myself to call more minute at-
tention to the niceties and refinements of the language before us. I have, accordingly,
published a number of specimens from my note-book, in which I kept a collection of typ-
ical w r ords, of which k l availed myself as often as I had the opportunity of meeting the
representatives of remote districts, and of enquiring concerning their manner of speech
at home. Whenever in this collection a word had nc-t been entered on sound native
authority, or had not been sufficiently discussed, I preferred to mark it with a note of
interrogation, and not to allow any conclusion from analogy, or any theory of pronun-
ciation to interfere with the design of my handy-book and its simple and unprejudiced
statement of fact. I may therefore, I hope, claim for this list a high degree of trust-
worthiness, even among collections of the kind, into which words can sometimes have
slipped, as they had been heard once, and perhaps w r ere not heard again.
In order to denote the pronunciation, I follow the scheme of Professor Lepsius.
Some objections have been urged against this scheme; yet, amongst all systems of the
kind, so far as I have become acquainted with them, I have no hesitation in affirming
that of Professor Lepsius to be the best, and it is certainly also that most appropriate
for my purpose. A thorough study of the 'Standard Alphabet by R. L epsius, 2 nd edi-
tion, London, Williams and Norgate. Berlin, Hertz, 1863' may be recommended to all
persons, who interest themselves in phonetic investigations. As I can scarcely take it for
granted, that the work mentioned will be already in the hands of every one, who may
consult my dictionary, I shall endeavour, as briefly as possible, to indicate its essential
plan and principles. Its rules may be stated as follows:
XI
In order to mark sound, Lepsius uses the letters of the ordinary Latin alphabet.
Where these are insufficient, he calls in the aid of a few Greek letters. Letters are used
with the powers they most generally possess in European languages. (Thus z has its
usual force, and does not stand for the peculiar sound ts, which belongs to it in the Ger-
man language alone.) Sounds which lack exact representation are indicated by diacritical
marks, placed above or below the letters which most nearly correspond. Every simple
sound is represented by one and only one simple mark. Explosive and fricative conso-
nants (these terras will be explained below) are denoted by different letters.
The following marks or signs are for vowels: the well known sign () for a short, and
(") for a long vowel; the mark of a modified vowel ("), German ii, 6,ii, is placed by Lep-
sius, for practical reasons, below, not above the vowel (a, p. ) ; a dot under the vowel
denotes a close vowel-sound (e = a in fate, o in note) ; a horizontal line under the vowel
denotes a more open vowel-sound (e in 'there', o in 'or, cord', which, indeed, supersedes
the a mentioned above); the mark (") above the vowel indicates a nasal quality, the
breath passing, while uttering the sound, to a considerable extent through the nose (the
French 'an, in, on, uri = a, e, o, o).
In marking consonants, there is first the distinction to be noted, that they are partly
explosives, formed by a rapid process of closing and re-opening the passage of the air at
a certain point, partly fricatives and liquids, formed by a partial process of compressing
or narrowing the air-passage; and secondly, they are distinguished in regard to the ex-
act spot, where the process of articulation takes place. The lowest articulation takes
place in the faucal region, close to the larynx (here, for example, h is formed); next
comes the guttural region, at the throat, near the soft palate and uvula (here k is formed);
it is marked, when necessary, with a dot above the consonant; then the palatal region,
the hard palate, (here the German ch is formed in 'ich'); the mark is a stroke like the
acute accent in Greek over the consonant; then the dental region, at the teeth and gums
(d, t, s, sh), and finally the labial region, at the lips (b, p, m). There exists a further
class o'f consonants in the Indian languages, and also in modern Tibetan, which are
styled cerebrals; they are most of them modified dentals, formed by bending or curling
the tongue upwards, and bringing the tip of it into contact with the hard palate in the
centre or toward the hinder part of its roof; mark, a dot under the consonant.
Many of these letters, in order to become audible, require in pronouncing them a
certain vocalic effort; others, to say the least, allow or suggest such an effort; the mark
of these vocalized consonants is a small ring under the letter. When this vocalic effort
is made by the medium of the nasal channel alone, the oral passage being simultaneously
closed at some one of the points indicated above, we get the nasal consonants as a result.
When the stoppage is made at the guttural point, ng is obtained (to be marked n); at
the dental point, n ; at the labial point, m. In order to conform with the two final rules,
cited above from Lepsius, the Greek letter % is used to represent the German ch, when
it is guttural and hard, as in the word 'doch'; use is made of the Greek ^, when it is soft
or accompanied by a vocalic tone (the Dutch g); j[ gives the force of a palatal ch (Ger-
man 'ich' = ij, 'milch' = milj); ^ is used to represent the strong English th (as in
'through') ; d renders the softer or vocalized tone (as in 'that'); a hard, sharp and hissing
s or ss (as in 'yes', 'press') is marked as s; the soft vocalic s (as in 'his', 'rise') is repre-
sented by z; the hard rushing sound sh, German sch, is rendered by s; the sound of the
French j by z. If one attempts to give at the palatal point, where the English y (in
'year'), or the German j (in Mahr') is formed, the sound sh, German sch, one obtains the
palatal , or the softened and vocalized z. In the Dictionary s and z have been substi-
tuted for these marks.

Further, in many languages, what are properly combinations of two consonants come
to be regarded as simple forms, this happening, either because they are gradual growths
upon an original simpler form, or because they have a natural affinity to each other. Thus
properly dental sibilants should be distinguished thus : & v , dz\ but for the sake of simpli-
city Lepsius, in his second edition, marks them c"and /, or, with their palatal force, c
and^ (instead of 6 r andj).
A further example of the combination of consonants is presented in w r hat is known
as aspiration, when the letter h is brought into more or less intimate connexion with
another consonant. This introduces us to a very important distinction, belonging to the
Tibetan language, which it is necessary to explain at some length, in accordance with
which explosive consonants, as they have the force of tenues, mediae, or aspiratae, are
treated. The tenues are produced by a sudden opening of the air-passage at one of the
points above mentioned: throat, teeth, lips, such opening being unaccompanied by any
sensible operation of the breath whatsoever. Thus, when quite exactly sounded, k, t, p,
are produced. The mediae, g, d, b, are produced by the same process, carried out in a
milder and less abrupt way, (the peculiar English pronunciation will come under con-
sideration later). The aspiratae require a decided pressure by the breath (they will be
found marked by the spiritus asper above the letter: K, f, p). In northern Germany, in
England, and in Scandinavia, modern educated speech recognizes only mediae and aspi-
ratae, for we give an aspirated sound to every k, t and p. The French and the Magyars
distinguish consciously the pure tenues from the mediae; on the other hand they ignore
the aspiratae. Tibetan pronunciation makes room and requires a mark for all three gra-
dations. Nay more, it augments the class of explosive consonants or mutae by the ad-
dition of the dental sibilants in all three ranks or grades of aspiration : -5, e5, E, and 3,
cS, E^ or according to the Standard Alphabet: c, c, ) and fe, fs, dz. At a later stage of
the language some further modifications were introduced, which we shall subsequently
allude to.
Let us now, passing from these general observations, draw attention to a few details
of the Phonetic Table, which has been drawn up in deference to a wish that reached me
from several quarters.
The first column of the Table, now under review, gives the ancient literal pronun-
ciation, as it was in vogue in the seventh century of our era, and was settled at the time
of the invention of the alphabet. Such a pronunciation relies, after all, for its justification
on the hypothesis, that the inventors of the alphabet had for their first object to re-
produce, as exactly as possible, an artistic reflection of the natural value of sounds as
spoken by their contemporaries: that, therefore, a later pronunciation is most in con-
formity with the original genius of the language, if it gives with the greatest distinctness
a special power to each written character. A reference to the Table will amply illustrate
the fact, that a pronunciation, adopted on these principles, has actually maintained itself
in one or the other provincial dialect, and it is very interesting to notice, that the purest
and most striking forms of this survival have their homes in those districts, which are
most remote from and least subject to the disintegrating and dissolving influences of the
actual centre of Tibetan civilisation, the capital Lhasa. Thus the prefixes and the super-
scribed consonants, for the most part, are still sounded at each extremity of the whole
territory, within which the language is spoken, both on the Western and the Eastern
frontier, alike in Khams, which borders on China, and in Balti, which merges into Kash-
mere. Moreover, in both localities the same minor irregularities occur, transgressions
against an exact rendering of the pronunciation according to the letters, the same frequent
transformations of the tenues into the aspiratae, g and d (compare lower down) becoming
/ or /, b becoming w. Now, about twenty degrees of longitude separate Balti from Khams,
XIII
and the former, embracing Islam, long since cut itself adrift from spiritual and religious
cohesion with Tibet, and there, too, the dialect in other respects has greatly deteriorated,
has admitted many foreign elements and has fallen altogether from the position of a lite-
rary language. The resemblances and correspondences noted can, therefore, scarcely be
accounted for in any other way, than by assuming that an old and strong instinct of speech
lived on in oral tradition for more than ten centuries on the outskirts of the Tibetan do-
main, which in the intermediate provinces has gradually surrendered and submitted to
the spirit of change.
Columns 2 6 contain, on most pages, the provincial dialects in their geographical
sequence from West to East. The dialects of Ladak, Lahoul and Spiti correspond to
what in my smaller Tibetan dictionary I called the dialect of Western Tibet. The last
named, Spiti, represents in some respects the transition to the dialects of Eastern Tibet,
under which heading Tsang and IT are to be classed. At the date of the publication of
my former dictionary I was unacquainted with the dialect of Khams. Where a space is
left vacant in the columns, the provincial pronunciation agrees with the model provided
under column 1. Towards the end of the Table, where the anomalies become much more
frequent, I have for the sake of clearness repeated the word.

Krims 1. right, not in the abstract
sense in which the word is gene-

concrete applications, such as administration
of justice, law. judgment, sometimes also
implying custom, usage, duty. Accordingly
rgydl-po, or btsi'm-po Krims-med means an
unjust king, an unprincipled priest or ec-
clesiastic; Krims bzin-du, Krims dan mfim-
par conscientiously, justly; in conformity

right, coming nearest to our abstract right;
when, for instance, in Glr. king Srori-
btsan-sgam-po says: rgydl-Krims cos-Krims-
su bsgyur I have changed the right of a
king into that of religion, he means to
say: I have subjected my own absolute

In this Indian explanation two different
etymologies are given, the former of which
is undoubtedly the original one. Buddhism
and the Tibetan language have added a
third signification, 'praying-wheel': modern
scholars a fourth, that of the 'orb' or round
of transmigration or metempsychosis: hence
the confusion attaching to the import of
this word.

illusion of a dream Mil. 2. In later
times sgom-pa became the usual term for
the systematic meditation of the Buddhist
saint, so that this word, and the expressions
tiu-ne-^dzin-du Jjug-pa, and bsam-ytdn
sy rub-pa, which in classical writings de-
note the concentration of the mind upon
one point or subject, e. g. upon a certain
deity, lha, prob. imply one and the same
thing. Three degrees of this systematic
meditation are to be distinguished, viz.
ltd-ba contemplation, syom-pa meditation,
properly so called, (which requires j'sal
dan mi-rtog md-yyens ysum, i.e. that it
be performed in a clear and decided man-
ner, without suffering one's self to be
disturbed or distracted by any thing), and
the third degree spyod-pa, exercise and
practice, which three distinctions will be
somewhat elucidated by the following:
bzd(-bai)-ytad(-so) yod-na bltd-ba min,
byin-rgod yod-na sgom-pa min, bldn-dor
yod-na spyod-pa min, if one lives plen-
teously, there is no contemplation (pos-
117
sible); where there is inattention and a
distracted mind, meditation cannot take
place; where there is desire or disgust,
exercise and practice are not (to be thought
of) Mil. 14, 11. Hence contemplation would
seem to be more immediately opposed to
the rule of sense, meditation to the rule
of imagination, practice to the rule of
passion; v. also Was. (.137), Kopp. I, 585.
Sometimes contemplation and meditation
are also opposed to fos-pa, and bsdm-pa,
hearing and knowing, as to mere acts of
memory and intellect. sgom(-pd)-po Cs.,

lha- sgrub-pa implies, in accordance to
Brahmanic- Buddhistic theology, not so
much the making a deity propitious to man
(6s.), as rendering a god subject to human
power, forcing him to perform the will of
man. This coercion of a god seems to be
effected in a twofold manner. The practise
of the common people is to perform a vast
amount of prayers and conjurations, spe-
cially intended for the god that is to be
made subject. Another method is adopted
by saints, who are advanced in every kind
of religious knowledge. They continue
their sgom-pa, or profound meditation, for
months and years, until the deity, finally
overcome, stands before them visible and
tangible, nay, until they have been per-
sonally united with and, as it were, in-
corporated into the invoked and subjected
god. Whilst the conatus, the labouring in
this arduous undertaking, is often called
sgrub-pa, the arriving at the proposed end
is designated by O grub-pa, e.g. rgydl-pos
rta-mgrin sgrub-pa mdzdd-pas O grub-nas
rta-sfcdd btdn-pas etc., the king began to
coerce Tadin (Ilayagrlwa), and when the
latter was made obsequious, so as to ap-

O debs-ba occurs also in Mil. The phrase
sgro- dogs fcod-pa might therefore be ren-
dered: to put an end to overrating and to
prejudice ; this meaning, however, does not
suit in every instance, and ace. to expres-
sions heard from people in C., sgro- dogs
f cod-pa would signify : to turn to account,
to work one's way up, to contest for a

dition of beds-pa, lhan-ycig, mnydm, q. v.),
e.g. to go, speak, play, quarrel with ; bud-
med dait nydl-ba to lie with a woman ; in
some cases it must be omitted in English,
or rendered by other words, as: gron-kyer
dan nye-ba, rin-ba near the town, far from
the town ; de dan O drd - ba equal to that.
Some particular ways of using dan are
the following: 1. for and, yser daii dnul
da/I Icags-la-sogs-pa gold, and silver, and
iron, and the other (metals). The shad
is here always put after dan, which shows
that in the mind of the Tibetan dan never
ceases to be a postposition; it can there-
fore be used only for connecting nouns
and pronouns. In enumerations it is em-
ployed in different ways, and often quite
arbitrarily, e.g. after every single noun
or pronoun except the last one, or also
after the last; it is used or omitted just
as the metre may require it; or when a
sum is mentioned, in the following manner:
byun-ba bzi ni: sa (dan) cu (dan) me (dan)
rlun dan bzio the four elements: earth, and
water, and fire, and air, four they are;
or, esp. in col. language, thus: sa dan
ycig, cu dan ynyis etc. 2. distributively:
zag dan zag, lo dan lo, day by day, every
year; Kyim dan Kyim-na Tar. every one
in his house. 3. after a personal pronoun
col. almost like a sign of the plural: na
dan ynyis-ka we two, both of us. na dan
fsdn-ma all of us. 4. after the inf., and
in W. after the gerund in gin, nyi-ma sdr-
ba dan at sun -rise, as soon as the sun
rises, when the sun rose; lo brgya Ion-pa
dan when a hundred years had (or shall
have) passed away, after a hundred years;
smrds-pa dait Kyim-du son with saying so,
he went home, is gen. translated : he said
so and went home, and so frq. in narration;
W. : *sug - da ton dan* with a whistling,
*foh-gin zig daii* at beholding. 5. after
an imperative for and, sgo rduns sig dan
de-dag ^oii-no knock at the door, and they
will come Dzl. ; yid-la byos tig dan bsdd-
do give heed, and I will explain it to you
Stg.; or it is used in the following manner:
legs-par sems sig dan ma nor-ram consider
it well; have you not made a mistake there?
nijon cig dan snon-dus-na listen to me!
Now, there was in olden times etc. Dzl.
and elsewh., frq.; Ion zig // iin-la dln'tii
yod do take it! I have the power, you
know, i.e. I shall answer for it Dzl.; in

'now just see', he said Mil.; even after zu,
which in its application is like a verb in

W. dan is used improperly for the instrum. :

translated by idea (Bum. I, 511), by per-
ception (AV;/>. I, 603). The three terms
O du-ses-can, du-ses-med-pa, du-ises-ined-min
may be rendered : having the faculty of think-
ing, having no faculty of thinking, neither
thinking nor not thinking (Dzl. 9^S^ 7),
(ht-ses-can refers to human beings, the
two other terms relate to celestial beings
(v. Kopp. I, 261, 17 and 26), that are evi-
dently so much the more excellent and
exalted, as they are far above all reason-
ing and thinking. According to another,
and (it would seem) more natural inter-
pretation, the first of these three terms
implies rational beings (man), the second
irrational beings (higher animals), and the
third quite irrational creatures (lower ani-
mals, worms, rep tiles J that are not even
possessed of the sensitive powers of the
higher animals), whilst the 'long-lived Lhas'
of the Nth. heaven are classed together
with the common Lhas (who however taken
strictly, belong to the 'first world') and on
account of their stupidity are believed to
be incapable of ever being converted, TJigy.

j- pa, an affix, or so-called article, the
same as ba (q.v.) which, when attached
to the roots of verbs, gives them the sig-
nification of nouns, or, in other words is
the sign of the infinitive and the participle;
in the language of common life, however,
it is frq. used for the finite tense, and for
par; affixed to the names of things, it de-
notes the person that deals with the thing
(rtd-pa horseman, cu-pa water-carrier);
combined with names of places, it desig-
nates the inhabitant (bod-pa inhabitant of
Tibet); with numerals, it either forms the
ordinal number ()'nyi's-pa the second), or
it implies a counting, measuring, contain-

SMJ'q* sprM-ba C c ^ O prul-ba'), to juggle, to
make phantoms (spri'd^pa) appear, to
change, to transform (one's self), which ac-
cording to the doctrines of Buddhism is the
sprul-ba
highest acquisition of any man, that by his
own holiness has assumed divine nature,
viz. as long as he is capable of acting, not
having yet been absorbed into the blessed
state of nothingness. This power of trans-
formation on the part of the Buddhist is
the evidence of what he understands by di-
vine omnipotence; but as this conception
is a mere product of fancy, it varies in its
import. On the one hand it is opposed to
reality, dnos; thus e.g. beings, whom no
Buddha could convert through his personal
agency, sku-dfios-kyi sgo-nas, are converted
(ace. to Pth.) sprul-pai tdbs-kyis. Frequently
Buddha avails himself of jugglery, rdzu-
fit'd ston, converting thousands of beings in
a trice, DzL &> elsewh.; further: drdg-poi
sprul-pa byds-pa yin Glr., T caused ter-
rifying phantoms to appear, viz. the spec-
tral bodies of executed culprits, in order
to scare the rude Tibetans into the way of
virtue. From the foregoing it is evident that
the term in question by no means conveys
the scriptural idea of a creative and mira-
culous power; the Tibetan, however, when
he becomes acquainted with Christianity, is
always apt to substitute his sprul-pa or
rdzu- Q prul, and sprul-ba for it. On the other
hand, a real and material existence is as
often attributed to a sprul-pa, when it de-
signates the incarnate and embodied per-
son, the Avatara of a deity, (Mongol. Chu-
bilgan), who like any human being is ca-
pable of acting, and exerting an influence
on the material world around him, or of
suffering by it, without any docetic admix-
ture. Occasionally it is also to be translat-
ed by emanation: ydn-sprul, emanation of
the second degree, i.e. one emanation going
forth from another; nyin-sprul or ysum-
sprul, an em. of the third degree Pth.; sprul-
pa O gyed-pa, to let emanations go forth,
Lexx. Further: spr id-pa mkyen-pa, to

that sorcery was the principal feature of
it. When Buddhism became the religion
of state, the former was considered here-
tical and condemnable , and Ilia - cos and
bon-cos, or shorter cos and bon, were placed
in opposition, as with us Christianity and
paganism; v. Glr. and Mil.; at the present
time, both of them seem to exist peaceably
side by side, and the primitive religion
has not only numerous adherents and con-
vents in C., but manifold traces of it may
be found still in the creed of the Tibetans
of to-day. 2. = bon-po, follower of this

slowly, to be slow; to take, to assume, to
count: zag bzi-pa ddn-por byds-na if the
fourth day be taken for (counted as) the
first Wdn. ; byed-pa with the termin. of the
inf. is frequently used periphrastically or
to give force to other verbs; such forms
are: ysod-par byed-pa to kill, pa-mas ses-
par byos (or gyis) sig, resp. yab-yum-gyis
mKyen-par mdzod cig dear parents, you
must know ! Dzl. ; on the other hand : pa-
la rig -par gyis sig let your father know
about it Tar. 37, 7 ; in such cases the pro-
per sense is merely to be gathered from the
context. Besides the simple fut. : Q dug-par
byao I shall remain Tar., K6-mo grogs byd-
q^'^T byed-pa
yis as I shall be with you Glr.', the form
byao frq. serves to express necessity: btsdl-
bar bya I must seek DzL; esp. with a ne-
gation: brjod-par mi byao they are by no
means to be pronounced; the participles in
the short forms of yton-byed and ytoii-byd
differ, in as much as the former is used
in an active sense, e.g. one giving, a giver,
the latter in a passive sense, one to be given;
they may be formed of any verb. For spe-
cific combinations, in which byed-pa is
differently to be translated, as dpe byed-pa,
yid-la byed-pa etc., refer to these words.
2. to say, to call, yet chiefly only in the
pf. tense: zes byds-pa DzL thus said, so
called ; snar byds-pa bzin according to what

saying Pth. and in the fut, which in
that case, however, frq. stands for the pre-
sent: (zes) byd-bai sgra byun-no a voice
thus speaking was heard Glr. ; de-la dbyans
ses byao these are called vowels Gram.',
(zes-) byds-pa, or more frq. byd-ba, the so
called, being often joined to a name, that
is mentioned for the first time, e.g. Anu,
the so called, whilst we should say, a man,
called Anu, or of the name of A.; byd-ba
also implies: of the purport, to the effect,
just as ces-pa is also used: ( fsol-ziy' byd-
bai lun byun-nas an order being given to
make a search Glr. 3. to go away, to
disappear: byas son he disappeared Glr.

id. Owing to the imperfect state of Indian
and Tibetan anatomy , resulting from in-
veterate prejudices both of a religious and
intellectual nature, great confusion prevails
also in the department of angiology, many
different vessels of the human body, and
even part of the nerves being classed among
the veins, so that it is impossible to find
adequate terms for the Tibetan nomencla-
ture. This applies e.g. to the division of the
rtsa in cdgs-pai, srid-pai, O brel-pai, and fsei
or srog-gi rtsa, which last term does not
correspond to what we understand by artery
(6s.); so it is also with respect to the three
principal veins, which by a mystic theory are
stated to proceed from the heart, dbu-ma the
middle one, white, rkydn-ma the left one,
red, and ro-ma the right one, white, con-
cerning which cf. the articles ftum-mo and
fig-U ; rtsa-dkdr, also rlun-rtsa Med., are perh.
in most cases the same as artery, ace. to
the well-known supposition of the ancients,
that the veins of dead men, appearing empty,
contain air; par-rtsa id., as in the living
body it pulsates ; rtsa - nag or Krdg - rtsa,
vein, blood-vessel; rtsa-sbubs is mentioned
Lt. 147, 10, as a surgical instrument. Some
names are more or less clear: mig - rtsa
seems to be the Venafac.ext., rtsa-cun Vena
jugul.ext., rtsa-cen or rtsa-bo-ce V. saphcna
magna, po-mfsan-glu dbus-rtsa V. dorsalis
penis, rgyu-grog-rtsa, on the other hand,
are the ureters, ni f., which are represented
as proceeding from the small intestine.

of veins, vascular plexus, any connection
of things that may be compared to it, as
e.g. the causal connection of the 12 Nida-
nas (v. rten- brel sub rten-pa cornp.)
rtsa-spun tissue of veins Sch. 2. pulse,

yet examples as the following: S c/. y fol. 5,
where the sum of 62, 33, 95 and 112 is
stated to be = sum - brgya- rtsa -ynyis, and
Pth. p. 34, twice Ina-brgyd-rtsa ycig = ston-
dan-rtsa-ynyis, exclude any doubt as to
the proper use of the word. 2. inst. of
nyi-su-rtsa-ycig to nyi-su-rtsa-dgu, rtsa-ydig
etc. is also used by itself, as an abbreviation,
e.g. S.g. p. 3, in describing the growth of
an embryo from week to week; this use
of the word may account for the assump-
tion, quite general in W. and C., that rtsa
in itself is equivalent to 20, for even Lamas
of both districts could be convinced only
by an arithmetical proof, that the numbers
rtsiva

mentioned in the above passages were 302
and 1002, and not 322 and 1022. - 3. In

ing further (to say), I shall go, with your
permission; *lco leb son zu* he is arrived,
if you please; but it also supplies every
kind of salutation in coming or going, hence
*zu zer-ce*, resp. *zu zu-ce*, to make or give
one's compliments, *a-pa-ne zu mdn-po
zu dug* my father's best respects (ci.pyag).
Inst. of zu, )u is also frq. heard (vulgo),

three humours of the body (v. nyes-pa) sup-
posed to exist in nearly all the parts and
organs of the body, circulating in veins of
its own, producing the arbitrary and the in-
voluntary motions, and causing variousother
physiological phenomena. When deranged,
it is the cause of many diseases, esp. of
such complaints the origin and seat of which
is not known, as rheumatism, nervous affec-
tions etc. This rlun or humour is divided
into five species, viz.: srog- Q dzin cause of
breathing, gyen-rgyu faculty of speaking,

sa * s ~ yyy tlie Tibetan eq-
valent for rf[; as to the etymo-
logy of the word v. sub O f sdn-ba. The first
historical Buddha is Sans-rgyas sa-kya fub-
pa, whose family name is Gau-ta-ma and
his personal name Don-grub, fa^ld, which,
however, is not much used. In course of
time several imaginary predecessors were
given to him: ^Od-srun, Gser-fub and Kor-
b a - )fy, a s having existed and reigned in
former periods of the world. A successor
also, Bydms-pa, was assigned to him, of
whom it is supposed that he will reign at
the period following this present one. Ac-
cording to others, however, Sdkyafubpa was
already the seventh Buddha that appeared
on earth, the four above-named having been
preceded by Tams-cad-skydb, GtsiLg -tor-can
and Rnam-par-yzigs, this last one being the
first of them all. These seven Buddhas then
are comprised under the name of Sans-
rgyas -rabs-bdun. But the fertile ima-
gination of devote Buddhists has further in-
creased the number of future Buddhas to
not less than one thousand (?), appropriate
names for each of them have been invented,
and Prof. Schmidt has thought it worth his
while, to have these thousand names re-
printed in a special pamphlet. Mysticism,
however, generally knows only of the five
first-named Buddhas (Gautama, his three
predecessors and his first successor) and
to each of these five 'human' Buddhas a
celestial Buddha corresponds, called 'Dhy-
ani Buddha' or the Buddha of contempla-
tion, whilst to every Dhyani Buddha again

his Dhyani Bodhisattwa is associated. In
later tiroes there is even mentioned a supreme
or highest god, Adi-Buddha, fog-mai Sans-
rgyds, which doctrine, however, seems not
to have been generally accepted. Cf.

6m, Ssk. ^sfti^, mystical interjection, in
S| later Hindooism the symbol of the Hindoo
triad, in as much as it consists of the three
sounds, a (Vishnu), u(Shiva), and m (Brah-
ma). This interjection frequently occurs in
the prayers of the northern Buddhists of
Tibet, and especially in the famous 'six-
syllable prayer',
mpad-me hum, the literal version of which
is: <0 thou jewel in the lotus, hum? The
person addressed in these words is not Bud-
dha, but Spyan-ras-yzigs (v. spy an) \ by
some he is thought to be the author of them.
Concerning the import of this short apo-
strophy the best information is to be found
Kopp. II, 59-61. The Tibetans them-
selves are ignorant of the proper sense of
these six syllables, if sense at all there be
in them, and it is not unlikely that some
shrewd priest invented this form of prayer,
in order to furnish the common people with
a formula or symbol, easily to be retained
by the memory, and the frequent recital of
which might satisfy their religious wants.
And though there may be no obvious mean-
ing in such exclamations or prayers, yet
their efficacy is sure to be firmly believed
in by a people, whose practical religion
chiefly consists in the performance of cer-
tain rites and ceremonies, in a devout ve-
neration of their Lamas, combined with
frequent oblations to them, in abstaining
from gross sins (regarding even the killing
of live animals as such), and in the Pra-
dakshina (v. skor-ba 2). The numerous
attempts that have been made to explain
the Ommanipadmehum satisfactorily, and to
discover a deeper sense or even a hidden
wisdom in it, have proved more or less un-
successful. The most simple and popular,
but also the flattest of these explanations
is derived from the purely extrinsic circum-
stance, that the Sanskrit words of the prayer
consist of six syllables, and accordingly it
is suggested, that each of these syllables,
when pronounced by a pious Buddhist, con-
veys a blessing upon one of the 'six classes
of beings 1 . The conjecture with which
Kopp. closes his disquisition, is certainly
^l.' 'o- 'a-hum

Final remark. The Tibetan words, given in the Vocabulary, are not in every instance,
to be regarded as exact equivalents for whatever word happens to be sought, but rather
as hints, how to attain to the wished for expression. It will, therefore, be frequently in-
dispensable to refer to the Tib. Engl. Dictionary for further explanation, and to examine
the different bearings and relations of the word in question, so far as they may have been
traced there. Although this Vocabulary is by no means complete in itself, yet it is to
be hoped that it will not prove quite unuseful, but answer the purpose for which it was
intended.
CORRECTIONS.
A revision of the Dictionary has brought such a number of misprints to light that, on second thoughts, it
seems absolutely necessary not to leave them unnoticed, but to register all that are of any consequence. The
unfortunate fact, that such corrections should be required, has to be ascribed to two circumstances, in regard
to which the reader's indulgence has already been appealed to in the Preface, namely, the author's weak state
of health, and the difficulties with which the printing of a book of this character is necessarily attended.
