| Wylie | sog kha |
| Wylie Definition | shoulder-bone. See Aris, Discourse 17. Mike Walter has written papers on this subject. I believe that 'originally' it refers to the 'shoulder-bone' shape of Yar-lung valley itself, the small end at the north, and the broad part at the south (See the citations from Lde'u History, Byams-ma Rig-skyob, and Yangs-rtse Klong-chen commentary by Chapel in TJ 23 no. 1 [1998] 51-52.) Haarh, Yar-lun 99, 353. sog ka'am sog kha / 'dzam bu gling gi ming. Btsan-lha. Hackin, Formulaire 7, a late Dunhuang text, has several times sogs ka as equiv. to Skt. trikoNa, 'triangle,' in a cosmological passage. I believe this is a natively Tibetan conception, which continued to exist alongside the Indic conception of the chariot (shing rta) shape of JambudvIpa. |
