Abstract:
(Show)
In this article, Wayman compares two Tibetan words, bsgom pa and goms pa. While the two terms have similar meanings in some contexts, they are not always interchangeable. Wayman looks at the uses of the two terms in translating Sanskrit works into Tibetan as well as consulting several Tibetan dictionaries. (Ben Deitle 2006-02-02)
