neuter · assu 1.1 · assu 2.1
Assu 1 (neuter) [Vedic aśru, Avesta asrū, literally aszar, with etymology not definitely clear: see Walde, Latin Wtb. under lacrima] a tear Vin I 87 (assūni pavatteti to shed tears); S II 282 (the same); Dhp 74; Thig 496 (cf. Thig-a 289); Pj I 65; Dhp-a I 12 (°puṇṇa-netta with eyes full of tears); II 98; Pv-a 125. -dhārā a shower of tears Dhp-a IV 15 (pavatteti to shed); -mukha (adjective) with tearful face [cf. BHS aśrumukha e.g. Jm 31 16 ] D I 115, 141; Dhp 67; Pp 56; Sv I 284; Pv-a 39; -mocana shedding of tears Pv-a 18. Assu 2 is 3rd plural potential of atthi. Assu 3 (indeclinable) [Sanskrit sma] expletive particle also used in emphatic sense of "surely, yes, indeed" Snp 231 (according to Fausbøll, but preferably with PTS editor as tayas su for tay'assu, cf. Pj I 188); Vv 32 4 (assa v.l.) = Vv-a 135 (assū ti nipāta-mattaṃ). Perhaps we ought to take this assu 3 together with the following assu 4 as a modification of ssu (see su 2 ). Cf. āsu. Assu 4 particle for Sanskrit svid (and sma?) see under su 2 . According to this view Fausbølls reading ken'assu at Snp 1032 is to be emended to kena ssu.
