A History of the Mahrattas v1.c6.14

v1.c6.14

¹ The instances which immediately occur to me, where I have deviated, from this rule, are outar, an incarnation, for what is more generally written avatar; wukeel for vakeel; Bhonslay, the n sounded like the French n in son, for Bhosla, or Bouncello; and Toongbuddra for Tumbooddra. Toongbuddra is correctly written, because I have occasion to mention the Toong distinct from the Buddra, and my ear had become so accustomed to the other words, that I wrote them as I was in the daily habit of hearing them pronounced, without being able to avoid doing so.
