Entry 6025, Page 222, Col. 2 - <k1>caccara<k2>caccara caccara¦ (m. or nt.; = Pali id., Skt. catvara), square, four-crossroads: so it seems that the mss. must read, or intend, at SP 88.1 (vs), where KN sthitu catvarasmin (kept by WT without note), but with note over the final letter: ‘O. care the others caresmin’. This very imperfect annotation seems to mean that the Nep. mss. have cac- caresmin (*cacaresmin or *caresmin would be unparallelled, morphologically and semantically incomprehensible, and metrically impossible); caccare, seemingly the reading of ‘O’ = Kashgar rec., would be metrically defective, lacking the necessary last syllable.
