Poroseyya = porisiya (cf. porisa 1 1) fit for man, human M I 366. The word is somewhat doubtful, but in all likelihood it is a derivation from pura (cf. porin; Sanskrit paura), thus to be understood as *paurasya > *porasya > *poraseyya > *poroseyya with assimilation. The meaning is clearly "very fine, urbane, fashionable"; thus not derived from purisa, although commentary explains by "purisānucchavikaṃ yānaṃ" (M I 561). The passage runs "yānaṃ poroseyyaṃ pavara-maṇi-kuṇḍalaṃ"; with vv.ll. voropeyya and oropeyya. Neumann accepts oropeyya as reading and translates (wrongly) "belüde": see M.S. 2 1921; vol. II pages 45, 666. The reading poroseyya seems to be established as lectio difficilior. On form see also Trenckner, "Notes" 75.
