11th Hour Mayhem

[JR Gardner]

Our library is missing Mayrhofer's recent __Etymologisches Worterbuch des
Altindoarischen__(1992/6), Band I, page 164 re. aatma'n:  how doe sthis
line read (my fax is blurred rather worrisomely and final deposit of my
dissertation is tommorrow-- BTW, yes, I passed, and thanks to everyone for
their help . . . copies forthcoming . . .):

"stehen 'schwache' von tmaan"

or

"stehen 'schwache' von tma'n"

Needless to say, a VERY important distinction!

is worth saving, at least to a priest, but not  every soul is worth
buying.  So consider the offer a compliment."
