Miln 34, 191, 331. f. langhika Vin iv.285 (with nataka
& sokajjhayika).

light, quick; Idg. *legh & *lengh, with meanings of
both "quick" & "light" (or "little") from the
movement of jumping. Here belong Gr. eXaj^c little,
iXaippus quick; Lat. levis (fr. *leghuis), Goth. leihto =
E. light ;

Langhamaya (pi.) at J v. 408 is problematic We shou'd
expect something like langhiyo or langhimaya in
meaning " deer," as it is comb* with eneyyaka. The
C. reads langhimaya (" like deer; jumping"?) & expl'
by nana-ratana-maya " made of var. jewels," rather
strange.

langhi-pitamaha at J 11.363 = 111.226: "whose grandfather
was a deer, or a juniper " (?) ; used in disparagingly
addressing a crane. The C. to J 11.363 expl'
rather strangely as follows : langhi yuccati akase
langhanato megho " (a) jumping deer is called the cloud
because of its jumping in the air," balaka ca nima
megha-saddena gabbhag ganhanti ti " the cranes
conceive by the sound of the cloud," meghasaddo balikanag
pita megho pitimaho ti " the sound of the
cloud is the father of the cranes & the cloud the grandfather."
