[Buddha-l] Non attached & mindful culinary triumphalism?

[JKirkpatrick]

 Turner's CDIAL---sorry--what is that? Is it online?

I'm very ignorant in IE and other philology--thanks for this caveat--I'd not be surprised, speaking as an anthropologist, that the -ṇḍ- may point to non-IE origins, since the people so-labeled must have been around before the Aryas got there.

Joanna,

The MW quasi-etymological references (cáṇḍa from ? candrá) must be treated with a large dose of circumspection. Consonantal clusters built of nasals + retroflexives, like -ṇḍ-,  may point to non IE origins of the words containing them.

For Indo-Aryan continuations of caṇḍa- see Turner's CDIAL, entries 4584,4585; of cāṇḍāla - 4740.

Best,

Artur
