Dear list members,
About 36 definitions in Monier-Williams dictionary are prefixed with "(only  L.)".  Does this have a different meaning than his use of the abbreviation "L."
 
I was under the impression that the abbreviation "L." also meant that the meaning was only found in the lexicons.

For example one of the definitions for sāraṅga in Monier-williams is:

(only L. , ‘an elephant; lion; cloud; tree; umbrella; parasol; garment; clothes; hair; lotus; flower; conch-shell; sort of musical instrument; ornament; jewel; gold; a bow; sandal; camphor; the earth; light; night’)


The corresponding entry in Bohtlink-Roth lists the lexicons.

Thanks,
Harry Spier
