: Cologne Digital Sanskrit Dictionaries: Edgerton Buddhist Hybrid Sanskrit DictionaryPhalaha (啶げ啶�).鈥�(掳-), also written 掳kha, 掳ka, in composition with st膩ra (compare AMg. phalaha, defined as a big plank, [Ardha-M膩gadh墨 Dictionary], and identified with Sanskrit phalaka), some part of a gate or door: 惭补丑腻惫补蝉迟耻 i.195.13; iii.228.10 (prose; same passage; follow- ing the sentence containing phalikha- (q.v.)-phalak膩ni; in i.195.13 mss. phalaha-st膩r膩(岣�), Senart em. phalaka-; in iii.228.10 he reads phalaka掳 without v.l., but according to his note i p. 530, on the other passage, one ms. at least reads phalakha-st膩r膩(岣�); it seems reasonably clear that the AMg. form, conceivably with 掳kha for 掳ha, was read in 惭补丑腻惫补蝉迟耻. (Cf. phalik膩stara峁嘺? but I cannot mediate between these two forms, both enigmatic.)

Sanskrit, also spelled 啶膏啶膏啶曕啶むぎ啷� (蝉补峁僺办峁泃补尘), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!). Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
