_______________________________
^[1]For thabhā see the remark on A 25. From the estampage it appears that the word thabhā is inscribed on a surface different from that of the rest of the inscription.
^[2]See classification I, 4, b, 1 (names derived from spirits and animal deities), and p. XXVIII (suffix-ila). For the formation of this name Hultzsch refers to Pāṇini 5, 3, 84, and ɀDMG., Vol. XXXVII, p. 551, No. 5, note 2.
^[3]The fragmentary inscription No. A 135 refers possibly also to some inhabitant from Vedisa.
^[4]See classification I, 2, A, a (names derived from constellations).
^[5]See classification I, 4, a, 2 (names derived from spirits and animal deities).
