Valañjeti
Valañjeti [customarily expld as ava+lañj (cp. Geiger P.Gr. § 661), the root lañj being given as a Sk. root in
meaning "to fry," "to be strong," and a variety of
-- 603 --
others (see Mon. Williams s. v. lañj). But the root & its derivations are only found in lexicographical and
grammatical works, therefore it is doubtful whether it is genuine. lañja is given as "pada," i. e. track, place,
foot, and also "tail." We are inclined to see in lañj a by -- form of lañch, which is a variant of lak+ "to mark"
etc. (cp. lañcha, lañchaka, ˚ana, ˚ita). Thus the meaning would range from originally "trace," mark off,
enclose, to: "being enclosed," assigned or belonging to, i. e. moving (in), frequenting etc., as given in C.
explns. There seems to be a Singhalese word at the root of it, as it is certainly dialectical. -- The Dhtm
(522) laconically defines valañj as "valañjane"] 1. to trace, track, travel (a road); practise, achieve, resort to
Miln 359; VvA 58. -- 2. to use, use up, spend J i.102; iii.342; vi.369, 382, 521. -- ppr. Pass. (a --
)valañjiyam!na (not any longer) in use J i.111. -- pp. valañjita.
