{a.t~ya.} अत्य :
{ût~ya.} अत्य or
{a.tya.} are not formed
UKT 120920, 130523, 130818, 140709 150125: The conjunct of
{ta.} &
{ya.} is commonly written in Bur-Myan as
{tya.} as if it were a monosyllabic medial, but is pronounced as a disyllabic conjunct
{t~ya.} with a schwa inserted. Thus, in
{a.t~ya.},
{a.} is not checked by
{t}, and
{ût} is not realized.
{a.t~ya.} is a conjunct - it is di-syllabic because {a.} is not stressed. The possibility of
{a.tya.) - the medial - need not be considered because Skt-Dev has only disyllabic conjuncts. Similarly, I have not found
{a.kya.} listed in {ka.} files.
In the following entries, अत्य «atya»
{a.t~ya.} appears to behave as a prefix. In Macdonell's orthography, it is derived from
{a.ti.} + a vowel such as
{a.},
{a},
{u.}, ... . I note that
{i.} is missing. I will have to check this observation further and learn both Sanskrit and Pali grammars on Sandhi . -- UKT120920
The dental
{ta.} /t/ & velar
{ya.} /j/ are articulated far apart in the mouth and the medial
{tya.} cannot be formed. To pronounce it, a schwa has to be inserted as /tə.ja/ . In fact that's how most of Bur-Myan and I pronounce it. To show that a medial is not formed I will have to represent in Romabama as
{t~ya.} - a conjunct. See my note on medial-{tya.}
&
{tra.} (in Skt-Dev अत्र a-tra = अ त ् र 'here' ).
However, both
{ka.} &
{ya.} are velars and they readily form the medial
{kya.}.
This sheds some light on the difference between how the Tib-Bur speakers begin pronouncing the consonants: they start from interior of the mouth (velar) and proceeds to the exterior (labial), whereas the IE speakers start from the exterior (labial) and proceeds to the interior (velar). When an IE speaker begins to articulate a sound, even for /k/, they automatically start from the outside, and found /j/ later. Thus they could not pronounce
{kya.} properly. Whereas, a Tib-Bur starts articulating from the interior and found both /k/ & /j/ at the same time and the sound of
{kya.} is natural to them.

{a.t~ra.}
UKT 120921, 130817, 150125: The conjunct of
{ta.} &
{ra.} is written in Bur-Myan as
{tra.}. It is written with the hood fully extended, which had led me astray into thinking that it was related to
{tRi.}. I was not aware of the presence of highly rhotic Skt-Dev vowel ऋ {iRi.} which with
{ta.} gives
{tRi.}. My confusion was compounded because ऋ is commonly described as "vocalic R" which had led me to think that it was a consonant and not a vowel.
The medial,
{tra.} त्र , is a problem for many beginning students because of its similarity in shape to the Skt-Dev row#2 nasal Nya'lé
{ña.} ञ .
Though in Pal-Myan (e.g. UHS-PMD), the word
{a.tri.} is given in the form of a medial, it is best to say that it is not a medials. Another argument against
{a.tri.} is because of the presence of

Travelling in the desert or on the ocean at night, you need celestial navigation. One star that points you the North is Polaris, and it can be easily found by looking at the Great Bear or Dipper Constellation. The ancient travellers must have given names to the individual stars. The Seven stars that made up the constellation are like your own advisors, or counselors who are always looking after you, and they have been called the Seers or Maharishi. In time to let others remember them, they were personalized and stories (all made up) were told about them. This is what I think (pure conjecture) about them. Eventually, they were connected to your own God, or gods & goddesses and finally you came to worship them.
In Myanmarpré, the ancients had no need of such travels, and there are no stories to tell around camp-fires. They must have been agriculturalists, hunters, or local fishermen who did not have to travel over the ocean. -- UKT120923
From Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atharvan 120923
See also: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atharvaveda 130820
Atharvan (अथर्वन्, «atharvan-» ; an n-stem with nominative singular अथर्वा «atharvā») was a legendary Vedic sage (rishi) of Hinduism who along with Angiras is supposed to have authored ("heard") the Atharvaveda. [UKT ¶ ]
The Atharvaveda
{a.htûb~ba.Na.} (अथर्ववेदः, «atharvaveda», a tatpurusha compound of atharvan, an ancient Rishi, and veda, meaning "knowledge") is a sacred text of Hinduism and one of the four Vedas, often called the "fourth Veda". According to tradition, the Atharvaveda was mainly composed by two groups of rishis known as the Atharvanas and the Angirasa, hence its oldest name is Ātharvāṅgirasa. -- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atharvaveda 120923
He [Atharvan] is also said to have first instituted the fire-sacrifice or yagna. Sometimes he is also reckoned among the seven seers or Saptarishi. His clan is known as the Atharvanas. Atharvan married Chitti, daughter of Kardama rishi, and had a great sage Dadhichi as a son. He was referred to as a member of the Bhrigu clan.
UKT: The Seven great rishis are enshrined in the Great Bear or Dipper Constellation. In the inset sky map look for the two pointer starts pointing towards Polaris. The first pointer star is Dubhe, and the second Merack. Go around the Dipper, and the third is Phedca, and the seventh Alkaid. The great seven rishi also follow the same order: 1. Krathu - Dubhe, 2. Pulaaha - Merack, 3. Pulasthya - Phecda, 4. Athri - Megrez, 5. Angirasa - Alioth, ...
According to mundaka upanisad and other texts, he was eldest son & (Manas putra) born from mind of the Brahma. Vedic atharvan is cognate with Avestan athravan, "priest", but the etymology of the term is not yet conclusively established. "Attempts have been made to connect the term with Avestan atar- "fire" (not attested in Vedic); but these have been prompted by what is probably a mistaken assumption of the importance of fire in the ancient Indo-Iranian religion."

I am curious about the meaning
"devouring" -- a word used as
name for a sage and a Prajapati
प्रजापति
«prajā-pati»
{pra.za pa.ti.}
Excerpt from Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atri 120921
In Hinduism, Atri (Skt-Dev
अत्रि) or
Attri is a legendary bard [UKT:
The English word <bard> can mean
'a singer of folk songs'. Here it means
a composer of hymns.] and scholar and
was one of 9
Prajapatis
प्रजापति
«prajā-pati»
{pra.za pa.ti.}, and a son of Brahma
{brah~ma}, said to be ancestor of some
Brahmin

Vaishya communities who adopt Atri as their
gotra

{gau:tra.}
'lineage' (SpkSktDict). [UKT ¶ ]
UKT 120922:
According to the Theravada Buddhist concept held by Bur-Myan,{brah~ma} are asexual beings, and are higher than
{dé-wa} who still enjoy sex with females - not necessarily of their own kind.
Thus, when I started to read Hinduism, I was perplexed to find that the Hindu
{brah~ma}, sometimes described as
{ma.ha dé-wa.}, forcing his own creation
{þu-raþ~þa.ti} - thus his daughter - to marry him against her wish. It is interesting to see Atri being described as the son of the Brahma
{brah~ma}, but not as a son of
{þu-raþ~þa.ti}.
The second word we should be concerned is प्रजापति «prajā-pati» which is made up of 2 words, प्रजा «prajā» (= प ् र ज ा)
{pra.za}, & पति «pati»
{pa.ti.}. My understanding (which is likely to change in the future) is the compound word means "the first of the life-forms".
The word पति «pati»
{pa.ti.} has been interpreted as the "protector" by which the religionists insist that it is their "déva-god" protecting the separate castes. According to some there were 7 «prajā-pati» and according to others there were 9. Can they mean the day of the week on which you were born? Sunday borns, Monday borns, Tuesday borns, etc.? These can in turn mean the "Planet-gods", and in order to include Rahu and Ketu the number has to be increased to 9.
Atri is the Saptarishis (Seven Great Sages Rishi) in the seventh, i.e. the present Manvantara [1]..
UKT 120907, 130227:
Mizar is known as Vasistha and Alcor is known as Arundhati in traditional Indian astronomy. [7] The pair is considered to symbolize marriage (Vashishtha and Arundhati were a married couple) and, in some Hindu communities, priests conducting a wedding ceremony allude to or point out the constellation as a symbol of the closeness marriage brings to a couple. [8]
-- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mizar_star 120907The Sanskrit word "manvantara", is a compound of two words "manu" and "antara". Leaving aside the Hindu ideas of creation which we the Theravada Buddhists do not believe, it simply means the "period of a particular kind of man" or "civilization". -- UKT based on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manvantara 120922, 130227 .

(र ् ष ि) :
seven luminous or eternal sages in the

the seven stars around it. [UKT ¶]
UKT 130228, 130523:
Romabama spelling of the word Sapta Rishi सप्तर्षि 'Seven Seers', is not satisfactory.
¤ Firstly, we take the word apart:
सप्तर्षि = (स प ् त){þûp~ta.} & ((र ्)(ष ि))
¤ Skt-Dev for the second part shows a repha which is just a rhotic sound. However, the English rendition shows that the {ra.} has to be taken out to give the hissing sound at the end of the syllable{riS}. Otherwise it gives us something like
{þûp~t~r~Si.}.
¤ However, if we note that if we had just relied on the meaning 'seven', and go by Pal-Myan, we get{þût~ta.}, and arrive by transformation,
, to
{þût~ta. I.þi}. Of course, the two words may (or may not) further elide according to Pal-Myan rules.
Named Megrez in Latin. The star is also considered as δ (Delta) or the 4th star in the Great Bear constellation.
He is the seer of the fifth Mandala (Book 5) of the Rig Veda. He had many sons and disciples who have also contributed in the compilation of the Rig Veda and other Vedic texts.
UKT 120922:
Because there are so many stars, people tend to use whatever that is convenient to describe their "bear". However, the major seven stars, α, β, γ, δ, ε, ζ, η, remain the same.The star Atri is identified with Megrez, the "delta" or Fourth Star in the Big Bear Constellation.
He [Artri] had a close connection with
Mahabharatha. We all know that Drona
द्रोण ,
«droṇa»
{drau:Na.}, the
{poaN~Na.], was made the head of the Kaurava
army after Bhisma's fall. Dronacharya
द्रोणाचार्य
«droṇācārya»
[ "acharya" means "master".
Drona was the teacher who taught military
tactics to the young princes.] fought
ferociously. [UKT ¶]
The wounded and the dead soldiers were in thousands. Their cry of pain rented the skies. Blood flowed on the battle field. Dead bodies got piled up and provided the food for the birds of prey. In this carnage which went beyond all human estimation, Drona stood like a mad hero of demonic proportion.
Sage Atri was very worried because if Drona continued this he would cause destruction and human misery beyond proportions, Atri and Gowthama [UKT: Gautama Maharishi गौतम महर्षि ?] came to the battle field along with their five of their companions. [UKT: Does it mean that there were seven of them? That there were 7 «prajā-pati»?]. It was at this time Yudhisthira aka Dharmaraja had shouted at the instance of Sri Krishna saying that Ashwathama [ अश्वत्थामा, «aśvatthāmā»] was killed. [UKT ¶]
UKT 120922:
There are two names in the above para which can confuse the reader:
• Dharmaraja - a name for Yudhisthira युधिष्ठिर «yudhiṣṭhira» the eldest Pandava
• Ashwathama अश्वत्थामा, «aśvatthāmā» - the name of Drona's son, as well as that of an elephant.It was the elephant that had been killed - not Drona's son. This 'mis-information' was a ploy used by Sri Krishna to sow confusion in the mind of Drona - the enemy general.
My question: was it fair or Dharma to use misinformation as a weapon of war? The current thinking is that it is allowable and that even incarnations of gods, e.g. Sri Krishna, had used it thousands of years ago.
This put Drona off completely. He lost all hope in his life. He became mad with anger. This sent danger signal all around.
Sage Atri felt sad for him and talked to him in a friendly manner, consoling him,
"Dear friend, all along you have done everything against Dharma
. This war you are engaged in is the best proof. It is enough and stop it. Stop this carnage. You are a good man. This act is not in tune with your status. You are a scholar of Vedanta par excellence. You have been a Brahman and you have got to practice dharma. This cruel act does not befit you. Give up your weapons, fix your mind in our glorious Sanathana Dharma. I am sorry, you have wielded the most terrible Brahmastra on the innocent soldiers! Put an end to your meaningless killing."
UKT 120922, 160524: Skt-Dev (in Hindu sense)
{dar~ma.} is quite different from Pal-Myan (in Theravada Buddhist sense). The Hindu
{dar~ma.} can be translated as "fairness", which is usually misinterpreted to justify what their gods and king have done. The Buddhist
{dûm~ma.} is the "righteousness according to Buddha's teachings".
How different is the above advice given by Sri Krishna to Arjuna to pick up his weapons again and to fight -- to do his duty as a commander on the battlefield.
When Atri said that, Dronacharya decided to give up his arms and stop killing. He drove away his anger, jealousy, and sense of revenge and his heart became pure. He sat in a yogic posture and started to meditate amidst the cries of pain, killing, flow of blood on the battle field. He concentrated on Lord Vishnu and closed his eyes and never opened them again until he left his body and started his journey towards the lord. Hence Sage Atri's kind nature helped save him.
UKT 120922:
The above para does not mention how Drona was treacherously killed while engaged in a yogic posture after laying down his arms. He was beheaded by Dhristadyuma, the son of his enemy who was once his childhood friend King Draupada. This is a breach of engagement rules - Dharma. This breach of engagement rules lead to another breach of rules by Ashwathama who in revenging his father's death, attacked the sleeping Dhristadyuma and his soldiers during night-time. These events were started by the misinformation perpetrated by Sri Krishna himself. How like our modern wars, and it had happened thousands of years before Gautama Buddha's time. --

Who or What are Brahma
{brah~ma} and Brahmin
{braah~ma.Na. poaN~Na:} ? The Brahma is a celestial entity whose existence
cannot be scientifically proven. He is just an Axiom. The Brahmins are
humans who worship the Brahma. Notice that vowels of the two words: the
celestial being has short vowel, the humans have long vowel. If you are not careful
about your spelling you will inevitably get the wrong meaning.
We must also note that a Sanskrit word in Mahayana Buddhism and a Pali word in Theravada Buddhism, may be equivalent language-wise but can still be different because of the cultural differences of the speakers. Peoples in Myanmarpré are Theravada Buddhists and our understanding of a word like Tantra is quite different from that of peoples of Mahayana faith.
Because of the above facts, we must be careful on interpreting a Sutta when it
appears in both Mahayana and Theravada. See:
-
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brahmajala_Sutra_Mahayana
130228
-
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brahmajala_Sutta_Theravada
130228
The following is the Theravada Buddhist view:
From Wikipedia:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brahmajala_Sutta_Theravada 130228
The Brahmajala Sutta is the
first of 34 suttas
{þoat~ta.} 'discourse' in the Digha Nikaya (the Long Discourses
of the Buddha). The name comes from
'brahma' (perfect wisdom) and 'jala'
(net-which-embraced-all-views). The
sutta is also called 'Atthajala'
(Net of Essence), Dhammajala,
(Net of the Dhamma), Ditthijala
(Net of Views), Anuttarasangama Vijaya
(Incomparable Victory in Battle).
UKT 130228: The Brahmajala Sutta is popularly known as
{brah~ma.za-la. þoat} in Myanmarpré. It is made up of two words, the first being
{brah~ma.za-la.} and the second
{þoat}. The first word
{brah~ma.za-la.} can be further divided into two words,
{brah~ma.} and
{za-la.}. The gloss given in UHS-MED414 can also be interpreted as 'net'.
The sutta discusses two main topics: the elaboration of the Ten Precepts (Cula-sila), the Middle Precepts (Majjhima-sila), and the Great Precepts (Maha-sila). Cula-sila deals with the Ten Precepts to be practised by devout Buddhists, while Majjhima-sila gives a detailed description of the practice of the sixth, seventh, eighth, and ninth precepts, together with the practise of plant conservation and speech etiquette.
The second and third parts of the sutta discuss the 62 beliefs (ditthi) which are devoutly practised by ascetics in India. These are divided into: 18 beliefs related to the past (pubbantanuditthino), and 44 beliefs about the future (aparantakappika).
Many of these beliefs are still relevant in the modern world and thus the sutta provides Buddhist scholars with much information to ponder about the [Gautama] Buddha's teachings.
The elaboration of these beliefs is very detailed, focusing on how the beliefs (faiths) come to be and the way they are described and declared. The elaboration ends with the Buddha's statement about the danger of clinging to these beliefs, as they are still influenced by desire (lobha), hatred (dosa), and ignorance (avijjā) that its faithful followers will not end in the final liberation but still in the cycle of samsara. Believers of these faiths are compared to small fish in a pond which will be captured by a fine net no matter how much they want to escape, while those who see reality as it is are beyond the net of samsara.
The sutta starts with the Buddha travelling with his disciples between the cities of Rajagaha and Nalanda. At the same time, a Brahmin called Suppiya, with his young apprentice, Brahmadatta, were also travelling in the same direction, tailing the convoy of the sangha. Suppiya uttered some insulting words about the Buddha, his teachings, and his disciples. However, Brahmadatta praised and revered the Buddha, Dhamma, and Sangha. The two continued debating until they arrived at the King's resting place in Ambalatthika.
Hearing this conversation, some monks discussed the nature of conflicting students and teachers the next morning. They wondered how marvellous it was that the Buddha knew the various kinds of views to be found in people. The Buddha arrived and asked what they were discussing. As a monk finished telling him, the Buddha responded,
"Monks, if anyone spoke words which insult me, the Dhamma, and the Sangha, don't let this thing prompt you to hate, take revenge, and turn against them. If, because of this, you become angry or annoyed, then it will become an obstacle in your quest to liberate yourself, and cause you upset. However, if someone speaks insulting or false accusations about me, the Dhamma, and the Sangha, then you should state which is wrong and point out the mistake by explaining that because of this proof and that, then that is not true, or it is not like that, that kind of thing is not us, or occurring in us."
"But if someone praises me, the Dhamma, or the Sangha; don't let this thing make you feel proud, joyful, and happy. If you act like that, then it will become an obstacle in your efforts to achieve your own final liberation. If someone speaks like that, you should state which is right and show the fact by saying, 'Based upon this and that fact, it is indeed so; that thing does indeed exist in us, or is true about us.' Even only due to small matters, worthless, or even due to the Precepts (Śīla)."

Though I have looked for
{tRa.}, I haven't found it so far. I found only the closed
{tRi.} derived from highly rhotic Skt-Dev vowel
{iRi.} ऋ . This vowel is usually known as "vocalic R" because of which I had thought it to be a consonant which was a nightmare for me in my early days of taking up Skt-Dev study.
The word, अत्य atya = अ त ् य 'steed', can be analyzed in two ways:
1. (अ त ् ) य --> अत् + य =
{ût-ya.}
2. (अ) (त ् य) --> अ (त्य) ={a.t~ya.} -- not
{a.tya.}
Remember different rendering engines work differently. Never be sure of what you see on the Internet.
The word in Bur-Myan
{pûn-tya} ('music' - MED2010-275) is not properly
pronounced by most people who pronounce it as /
{pûn-tra}/. The pronunciation given
by MLC MED2006-275 implies that the
{tya.} is pronounced with a schwa - /təja/.
This question is to be decided by a
study of the words which follows
अत्य «atya».
The reason why
{ta.} and
{ya.} cannot be pronounced together as a
medial probably lies in the fact that these
phonemes are articulated far apart: POA of
{ta.} is dental-alveolar and that of
{ya.} is velar. Previously I had taken
{ya.} to be palatal, but in order to make
way for Nya'gyi
{Ña.} I had to move
{ya.} to velar.
If one were to accept this explanation of
{ta.} and
{ya.} being unable to be taken together,
then it might be best to represent the
resultant as conjunct
{t~ya.} and not as a medial
{tya.}. On the other hand
{tra.} (in Skt-Dev
अत्र a-tra
= अ त ् र 'here' )
is easily pronounced because both
{ta.} and
{ra.} /ɹ/ are dental-alveolar.
Note:
{ra.} /ɹ/ is an approximant, not the dental-alveolar trill /r/. But for ease of type-setting
{ra.} is written as /r/. See Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alveolar_trill 130818
Now that Romabama has to handle Sanskrit as well, we have to transcribe Skt-Dev तृ (short) & तॄ (long) sounds derived from Skt-Dev highly rhotic vowel pair, ऋ (short-vowel) & ॠ (long-vowel):
Bur-Myan:
{tya.} (non-rhotic),
{tra.} (non-rhotic)
Pal-Myan:{tya.} (non-rhotic),
{tra.} (rhotic)
Skt-Myan:{tRa.} (rhotic) is not realized.
Only found,{tra.} (rhotic), repha, and
{tRi.} (highly rhotic)

Americans pronounce the word <myanmar> with a rhotic accent which is quite strange to our ears. We pronounce it without any rhoticity -- the end <r> is pronounced with the pronunciation /ɹ/ - not /r/.
From Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhotic_and_non-rhotic_accents 130815
In linguistic terms, non-rhotic accents are said to exclude the sound [r] from the syllable coda before a consonant or prosodic break. This is commonly (if misleadingly) referred to as "post-vocalic R".
English pronunciation can be divided into two main accent groups: a rhotic speaker pronounces a rhotic consonant in words like <hard> and <butter>; a non-rhotic speaker does not. That is, rhotic speakers pronounce /ɹ/ (English R) in nearly all positions of a word, while non-rhotic speakers pronounce /ɹ/ only if it is followed by a vowel sound in the same phrase or prosodic unit (see "linking and intrusive R"). Therefore, when pronounced by a non-rhotic speaker, the word <butter> would sound like <buttuh> . [UKT ¶]
UKT 130815: Note the change includes both the vowel and coda: <er> --> <uh>.
I have to include such a change in Romabama -- taking note to change the vowel. When Romabama was in the transliteration stage, the vowel was not included. Now as transcription, you will see vowel changes.
Non-rhoticity is featured in many accents in England
(including RP (Received
Pronunciation),
Australia,
New Zealand,
Jamaica, small pockets in India and surrounding areas [including Myanmarpré], the
New England region of the United States, notably
Boston and
New York City, among others, and can be a feature in small pockets in
Atlantic Canada, particularly
Lunenburg English.

"The earliest traces of a loss of /r/ in English are found in the environment before /s/ in spellings from the mid-15th century. ... Loss of coda /r/ apparently became widespread in southern England during the 18th century " .
UKT 130815: Currently the Second World War seems to be a noticeable dividing line. The probable cause being the English country-side boys having to serve in areas where English is spoken without much rhoticity. I need to check my observation further.
