Entry 9346, Page 339, Col. 1

(pAMSulika, pAMSulika)
pāṃśulika¦, nt., or °kā (= AMg. paṃsuliyā; cf. Pali phāsulī, °likā; the aspiration in Pali ph- is unhistorical), rib: °likāni °likāntarāṇi Mv ii.125.15; 127.2; 128.8; 129.10; to be read thus, or else pāṃśulikāntarāṇi (omitting °likāni), (ribs and) interstices between the ribs; so the mss. clearly indicate tho with various corruptions; confirmed by AMg.; Senart em. pārśuli°. The form is of course related to Skt. parśu(kā), BHS pārśukā, q.v., and is hyper-Sktized from the MIndic represented by AMg., which has nasalized vowel for double consonant (or long vowel), by the ‘law of morae’.
