Note. Quite a late development of the term, caused by a misinterpretation of chambhitatta, is "fluctuation,
unsteadiness, inflation" at Dhs 965 (in def. of v!yodh!tu: chambhittatta' [?] thambhitatta'. See on this Dhs.
trsl. p. 242), & at Vbh 168 (in def. of vicikicch!; v.l. chambhitatta), and at Asl. 338 (of vayo). None of
these meanings originally belong to the term thambha.
