Not illustrated. 1900 Excerpt: ... the other cases, for the old sound of fei was pui (as in Amoy) and had an initial p as sip had a final p, so that both words are to be joined: shih-fel first giving sfei and then goi. Julien (no. 1548) wrongly says that fJ joined to represents the syllable ska in BMskara, old sounds p'o-sikk'at-lo or p'o-sai k'at-lo, for the character has two sounds: -i and sat. The Chinese read bhds-j- ara, and not 6Ad-f-skara, and thus p'o-sik or p'o-sai gave Mas and kat-lo = kal-lo = kar-ra gave ara, with the usual repetition of the final and initial 2 or r.

Kalpa is also transcribed $3t kiap (old sound probably a/)-p'o for kal-pa. 27. X-before Jt becomes!T, as in the transcription of uttara M z&W. yk-to-lo (Fan-yih, XVIII, f. 10 ver-o). Julien (no. 2261) wrongly says that yuk46), which he reads yeou, stands for u in uttara; for this word is also transcribed ut-to-lo and PS. "M. $j ut-tat-lo (for ar-ra = ara) (Fan-yih, II, f. 29 redo and f. 18 ver-o). Julien (no. 2268) again says " pour ou dans outtara." Now...
