? voṇṭa¦, m. (noted Skt. Lex., and Hem. Pkt. Gr. i.139, as = Skt. vṛnta, but no mg. of that word seems to fit here; rather prob. related to vṛndi, q.v.), prob. insect-shell: Mvy 5995, among śaṅkhādi-nāmāni; after kapardikā, before abhraka, khaṭikā; Tib. srin Ikog, or sriṅ khog, neither of which is comprehensible to me; prob. read srin (insect) khog (body, or trunk; -can, applied to a tortoise); Chin. shell of an insect (such as a cricket); the Mongolian Mvy takes Tib. to mean body, trunk, of insects (or more generally, including amphibious animals and fish).
