ā-java
, n. (cf. BHS ājavaṁjava; ā + √ju], on-rush (as of a river), stream, current (see Johnston, JRAS
1931 p. 569); gedhaṁ brūmi mahogho ti ~aṁ brūmi
jappanaṁ, Sn 945; Nidd I 429,18 foll. construes ~aṁ
jappanā ti brūmi (Ee has the reading (ācamā . . .)
ācamaṁ); Nidd-a I 434,12 '~an' ti ā-paṭisandhito
javati dhāvatī ti ~aṁ; vaṭṭamūlakāya punabbhave
paṭisandhidāna-taṇhāy' etaṁ adhivacanaṁ (in the
Burm. tradition ācamaṁ (adopted in Sn index, Pj II)
appears for ājavaṁ, camati for javati, mocati for
dhāvati as a result of phonetic (j: c) and graphic
(dh:m, v:c) confusion, H. Smith 1922); Pj II 567,32
ājavanaṭṭhena '~an' ti (interpreted as one member of
a row of synonyms for 'ākāsa', said to stand for taṇhā,
in ākāsaṁ na sito siyā, Sn 944); — ācamā, Nidd I
429,18 seems (cf. Nidd-a) to be an error for ācamaṁ
for ājavaṁ; it might indicate ājavā, f. ("the speeding
on").
