[[dkyil chog]] - mandala ritual {dkyil 'khor sgrub pa'i cho ga} yi dam lha'i dkyil 'khor gyi {las byang} of the yidam deity] [IW]


== .1 ==
[['khor lo bde mchog yi dam gyi lha]] - [[Chakrasamvara]] the yidam deity [IW]
The five letters ''[[:Category:ga|ga]]'' ''[[:Category:da|da]]'' ''[[:Category:ba|ba]]'' ''[[:Category:ma|ma]]'' ''[[:Category:'a|'a]]'' frequently occur before the real, radical initials of other words, but are seldom pronounced, except in similar cases as [[7. Compound Consonants#.6|7.6]]. ''[[:Category:ga|ga]]'' occurs before ''[[:Category:ca|ca]]'' ''[[:Category:nya|nya]]'' ''[[:Category:ta|ta]]'' ''[[:Category:da|da]]'' ''[[:Category:na|na]]'' ''[[:Category:tsa|tsa]]'' ''[[:Category:zha|zha]]'' ''[[:Category:za|za]]'' ''[[:Category:ya|ya]]'' ''[[:Category:sha|sha]]'' ''[[:Category:sa|sa]]''; ''[[:Category:da|ga]]'' before the gutterals and labials with exception of the aspiratae; ''[[:Category:ba|ba]]'' before ''[[:Category:ka|ka]]'' ''[[:Category:da|da]]'', the palatals, dentals and palatal sibilants with the same exception as under ''[[:Category:da|da]]'', then ''[[:Category:zha|zha]]'' ''[[:Category:za|za]]'' ''[[:Category:ra|ra]]'' ''[[:Category:sha|sha]]'' ''[[:Category:sa|sa]]'' ; ''[[:Category:ma|ma]]'' before the gutterals, palatals, dentals and palatal sibilants, excepted the surds; ''[[:Category:'a|'a]]'' before the aspiratae and sonants of the five classes. In [[Abbreviations|CT]], to pronounce them in any case, is considered vulgar.


== .2 ==
[['khor lha]] - the retinue of the yidam deity [IW]
The ambiguity which would arise in case of the prefix standing before one of the 10 final consonants, as single radical, the vowel being the unwritten a, - [[Abbreviations|e.g.]] in the syllable ''[[dag]]'', which, if ''[[:Category:da|da]]'' is radical, has to be pronounced ''dag'', if prefixed ''[[:Category:ga|ga]]'', - is avoided by adding ''[[:Category:'a|'a]]'' in the latter case: thus, ''[[dga']]''. Other examples are: ''[[gad]]'' and ''[[gda']]''; ''[[bas]]'' and ''[[bsa']]'' ; ''[[mad]]'' and ''[[mda']]''; ''[['ga']]''. This ''[[:Category:'a|'a]]'' is added, though the radical be not one of the mentioned letters; as, ''[[bka']]''.


== .3 ==
[[rjes dran drug]] - [[Six recollections]]. There are different lists of which the most appropriate is: 1) Recollection of the yidam deity, 2) the path, 3) the place of rebirth, 4) the meditative state, 5) the oral instructions of the teacher, 6) and the view [RY]
''[[:Category:da|da]]'' as a prefix and ''[[:Category:ba|ba]]'' as a first as first radical annul each other, so that only the following sound is heard, as will be seen in the following examples (''[[dbang]]'' etc).


== .4 ==
[[snying po'i sngags]] - [[essence mantra]]. The short form of the mantra of a yidam deity as opposed to the longer [[dharani mantra]]; for example '[[om mani padme hung]].' [RY]
Another irregularity is the nasal pronounciation of the prefixed ''[[:Category:'a|'a]]'' in compounds after a vowel, which is often heard [[Abbreviations|e.g.]] ''[[dge 'dun]]'' pronounced ''gen-dun'', but eleg: ''ge-dun'', ,clergy'; ''[[bka' 'bum]]'' ''kam-bum'', eleg. ''ka-bum'', ,the 100 000 precepts' (title of a book). - Note. With regard to the aspiration of the soft consonants in [[Abbreviations|ET]] the prefixed letters have the same influence as the superadded ones [[7. Compound Consonants#.9|7.9]]


== .5 ==
[[bsnyen pa]] - 1) [p f [[snyen pa]]]; 2) practice of approaching the yidam deity approach[ing], Ritual service, familiarization, initiatory retreat, 1 who serves, come near, render service [IW]
