A Tibetan-English Dictionary

Synopsis Compiled from a large number of named Tibetan as well as standard Sanskrit works, dating from the 13 the century A.D., A Tibetan-English Dictionary represents the arduous labour of the author for 12 years. Here the Tibetan words are given in an alphabetical order, with their accepted Sanskrit equivalents, followed by teh English meaning. The meanings of all the technical terms are illustrated from extracts with exact references from Sanskrit-Buddhist and Tibetan works. The author has included modern Tibetan words which were not given by Koros and Jascheke. The great Tibetan scholars Rev. Graham Sandberg and Rev. a William Heyde have thoroughly revised the original and given a scientific look to the work, giving an impression of a Tibetan Cyclopaedia. A considerable number of Tibetan words at the head of paragraphs are found in larger type. this indicates either that the word is the root of all related terms, or that it is the most common word of teh series and thus ostensibly that from which the others have been derived. Two different arbitrary signs are found prefixed to many words. The author, it seems, has marked such words as he considered archaic or gone out of present use with a swastika, the those words deemed by him to have been imported into Tibetan from Sanskrit, whether directly or by derivation, he has distinguished by a double-headed dagger.
