Orthography (Tshangs-lha)

ཤིང་གླང་མ།

The Tshang-lha word for “pole of wood” is shing glang ma and this is the same word also found in some Tibetan lexicons. See, for example, the Thon mi’i dgongs rgyan (p. 66).

སྲོ་ལོ། 

The Tshang-lha word for “chilly” is sro lo and the orthography found in some Tibetan sources such as the brDa dag (s.v. sro lo sngon po) should be adopted.

དོ།  

In Tibetan do no longer seems to have the meaning of “to equal,” although Tibetan words such as do med and do zla  (brDa dag, s.vv.) seem to suggest that once do had the meaning of “to be equal” or perhaps even “to equal.” See q.v. zlo.

ཟློ།

It is reasonable to adopt the orthography zlo also for the Tshangs-lha verb meaning “to equal.” 

འཕྱེང་། 

In Tibetan ’phying ba means “to tie up” or “to roll up.” Perhaps the orthography for the Tshangs-lha equivalent of the same verb should be ’phyeng. E.g. wa ’phyeng mas “to tie up a cow [to a peg].”

I wonder how many Tibetans would understand what ko long means. Every person who speaks Tshangs-lha would know what kho long is. It simply means “quarrel” or “dispute.”
