3. Typographical

*(s)qu̯el indicates a (reconstructed or conjectured) Indogermanic root.

*Sk means, that the Sanskrit word is constructed after the Pali word; or as Sk. form is only found in lexicographical lists.

â the cap over a vowel indicates that the a is the result of a syncope a + a (e. g. khuddânukhudda), whereas ā represents the proper ā, either pure or contracted with a preceding a (khīṇāsava = khīṇa + āsava).

° represents the head-word either as first (°—) or second (—°) part of a compound; sometimes also an easily supplemented part of a word.

> indicates an etymological relation or line of development between the words mentioned.

~~ and ≈≈ means "at similar" or "at identical, parallel passages".

The meaning of all other abbreviations may easily be inferred from the context.
