We have forms of the name with the second syllable aspirated but not the first, one of which is certainly Hellenistic; forms with the first syllable aspirated but not the second, one or more of which may be Hellenistic; and forms with no aspirate at all, one of which almost certainly is, and all may be, Hellenistic. Moreover each aspirated form has an unaspirated parallel; with Tocharoi—Tachoroi compare Takor(aioi); with Thagouroi compare Tagour(aioi); with Thogari, Thogara, compare Tagorae. Is this conclusive (as ex hypothesi it ought to be) that the name of the historical Tochari was certainly aspirated? I do not so see it, and one must consider what it means. - [Previous: c33.18](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.tarn-1938.c33.18) - [Next: c33.20](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.tarn-1938.c33.20) - [Up: c33](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.tarn-1938.c33) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.tarn-1938.c33.19](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.tarn-1938.c33.19) · Pramāṇa
