| Wylie | phywa |
| Wylie Definition | 'lots, prophecy.' See BBNP 473. Acc. to ShAk-mchog (ShAkya-mchog-ldan), 'maker of worldly vicissitudes.' BBNP 473. mo pa dang ltas mkhan. Dpe-chos 503. 'jig rten pa'i lha'i bye brag cig. mo pa dang ltas mkhan. Btsan-lha. As an ancient clan, discussed in Karmay, Arrow 250 ff. Risking the inevitable derision of seasoned linguists, we might venture to suggest that this word is somehow related to Greek phua, which is behind a number of other words. The Greek word seems to mean 'natural' genius or talent (as opposed to technique) in the arts, and has meaningful connections with the concepts of nature (Gr. phusis), productivity (Gr. phuein, 'to produce') and tribe (Gr. phUlé). Hence the 'English' words physics, physical phylum etc. |
