| Wylie | dgu thug |
| Wylie Definition | A soup served at new years (29th day of the last month) with dumplings containing 'omens.' The dumplings may be in various symbolic shapes, and contain symbolic objects. The person getting a dumpling containing paper will be learned and virtuous (or a victim of theft); wood indicates life as a poor man walking with a stick; a pebble indicates life as durable as a diamond rock; salt suggests cleverness and reknown; wood (repeated?) is for disease; and cayenne pepper for a temperamental personality (sharp tongue). charcoal of course means one has 'dark thoughts.' onion means you will have body odor. Chab-spel Tshe-brtan-phun-tshogs has written an article on the subject (included in his volume of collected works). Other explanations of the objects found in Khenrap in TJ 25 no. 4 (2000) 63. |
