HIRTH3 has erroneously identified the Chinese name with the nard. Aside from the fact that the description of the Yu yan tsa tsu does not at all fit this plant, his restoration, from a phonetic viewpoint, remains faulty. K`ail-hi does not indicate the reading not for the first character, as asserted by Hirth, but gives the readings nai, ni, and yin. The second character reads k`i, which is evolved from *gi, but does not represent ti, as Hirth is inclined to make out.'
For other reasons it is out of the question to see the nard in the term nai-kti; for the nard, a product of India, is well known to the Chinese under the term kan sun hian 1.~ .b The Chinese did not have to go to Fu-lin to become acquainted with a product which reached them from India, and which the Syrians themselves received from India by way of Persia.' Hebrew nerd (Canticle), Greek v6pôos,7 Persian nard and hard, are all derived from Sanskrit nalada, which already appears in the Atharvaveda.8 Hirth 's case would also run counter to his theory that the language of Fu-lin was Aramaic, for the word nard does not occur there.
