Asmiye
Asmiye 90 Assasati
i sg. ind. pres. med. of a£ to eat, in sense of a
fut. "I shall eat" J v.397, 405 (C. bhunjissami). The form
is to be expld- as denom. form" fr. -asa food, ^ aijsiyati
and with metathesis asmiyati. See also anhati which
would correspond either to %qsyali or asnati (see asati).
Assa' [for aijsa', q. v. for etym.] shoulder; in cpd. assaputa
shoulder-bag, knapsack i. e. a bag containing provisions,
instr. assuputena with provisions. Later exegesis has interpreted
this as a bag full of ashes, and vv. 11. as well
as Commentators take assa = bhasma ashes (thus also
Morrif J P TS. 1893, to without being able to give an
etymology). The word was already misunderstood by
Bdhgh. when he explained the Digha passage by bhasmaputena,
sise charikar) okiritva ti attho D.-\ 1.267. After
all it is the same as putarjsa (see under ar)sa'). — D
