The rim and the felly together constitute the Nemi. The hole in the nave is called Kha: into it the end of the axle was inserted; but there is some uncertainty whether Āṇi denotes the extremity of the axle that was inserted in the nave, or the lynch-pin used to keep that extremity in the wheel. Sometimes a solid wheel was used.⁶ - [Previous: v2.c4.s5.70](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v2.c4.s5.70) - [Next: v2.c4.s5.72](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v2.c4.s5.72) - [Up: v2.c4.s5](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v2.c4.s5) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v2.c4.s5.71](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v2.c4.s5.71) · Pramāṇa
