OCR読み取り結果

The dictionaries, as well as Cunningham and Strachey, transliterate it zangs-dkar,
which gives the interpretation of copper white. When pronounced, the name sounds
zanskar,¹ the g being not heard.

As to Mr. Schiefner's experience, I am allowed to state, that in the "Tibetan Geography of
Tibet," as well as in various other Tibetan books, he found it spelt sangs-dkar, which
coincides with the translation of copper white. In some books, however, he saw it written
sangs-mkhar, copper fort. Our word zan, as the kind of food described above, remained
quite isolated, and was not corroborated by any Tibetan authority.

In my selection of copper fort, I was guided for mkhar by the detailed explanation
in Adolphe's manuscript, as meaning fort; the interpretation he obtained of zan not
coinciding with the spelling in Tibetan literature, seems to be rather the consequence of
a local mode of understanding it at present. As concerning the pronunciation, I write
phonetically zankhar, because most of the natives suppressed the s; this is also supported
by Csoma's observations.²
