khalli(n)
Entry 5487, Page 204, Col. 2
(Kalli, Kalli(n))
[? khalli(n)¦, obscure and corrupt: SP 351.5 (vs) so dṛṣṭva teṣāṃ ca jarām upasthitāṃ, valī ca khallī (so KN em., mss. khalī, unmetr.; WT khaṇḍaṃ with their ms. Ḱ) ca śiraś ca pāṇḍaram, seeing…their wrinkles…and gray head(s). Tib. seems to have no equivalent of the crucial word: mgo la skra dkar gñer ma kun byuṅ ste, (them) having become all with white hair on the head and wrinkles. A noun seems to be required for this word; if khaṇḍaṃ is the true reading, perhaps it could mean something like decrepitude.]
