The word དྭངས་ may mean soup or gravy in the following case, when there is question of singling out the liquid portion from a mixture of broth and liquid. The primary meaning seems in that case rather to be liquid as contrasted to solid. ང་ལ་དྭངས་བླུགས་རོགས་གནང་ = give me (only) the liquid (not the solid stuff), pour out to me (only) the liquid. But this དྭངས་ has no final མ་. A common word for soup which is not in the Dicts. is ‘rü thang’, probably རུས་ཐང་, or ཐང་ alone. This latter word is in J. with the meaning of ‘potion’, a medical term, and in S. Ch. D. as ‘potion, plain decoction, or mixture to be drunk after a medicinal pill has been taken.’ The word རུས་ཐང་ means originally bone-soup, but has acquired also the more general meaning ‘soup.’ ཐང་ can be applied to meat-soup, ཤ་ཁུ་, but ཤ་ཐང་ cannot be used. It might be that ཐང་ and དྭངས་ are really the same word. དད་པ་སྐྱེས་ see སྐྱེ་བ་. དམ་པོ་, 30. Might here, in connection with ambition, be translated as ‘fierce,’ an extension of its primary meaning ‘strong.’ དུག་པོ་ see སྐྱོ་བ་. དུག་ལོག་ see སྐྱོ་བ་. དུགས་པོ་ see སྐྱོ་བ་. དུས་ནམ་ཡང་, 24. For ever, always. དུས་མྱུར་བ་ see མྱུར་. དོན་ཆུང་ཆུང་ see དོན་རེ་ཆུང་. དོན་རེ་ཆུང་, 40. ‘Exceedingly stupid, meaningless, useless, silly, senseless.’ The particle རེ་ has an emphatic value, but it is difficult to define its precise scope in English. Oral information is vague on the subject, and seems to point towards a possibility that the རེ་ is a syllable of exclamation or turns the expression, of which it forms part, into an exclamation. དོན་རེ་ཆུང་. ‘Oh, how silly!’ An equivalent is དོན་ཆུང་ཆུང་ཡིན་ = དོན་མེད་. དོན་ཆུང་ alone is not used, and དོན་ཆུང་ཆུང་ demands a final རེད་ or ཡིན་. S. Ch. D. (502a) translates ཁྱོད་བོད་རྣམས་སྙིང་རེ་རྗེ་ as: ‘I pity you, ye Tibetans’; perhaps better ‘What a pity, O ye Tibetans.’ Compare the list of words with wedged-in རེ་ in J. s.v. རེ་ p. 533b. དྲིན་ཆེ་བ་, 16. Also དྲིན་ཆེན་, adjective ‘kind.’ According to S. Ch. D. also ‘very kind, great boon, and the great or greatest benefactor.’ S. Ch. D.’s wording is unsatisfactorily indefinite and his examples, taken from J., fit the text badly. J. does not define the combination དྲིན་ཆེ་བ་ though he has an example བཀའ་དྲིན་ཆེ་བ་ with the meaning ‘greatest benefit.’ Two colloquial examples are: དྲིན་ཆེ་བའི་ཡབ་ཡུམ་གཉིས་, ‘the two (very) kind parents,’ and མི་འདི་དྲིན་ཆེན་ཡིན་, that man is (very) kind. In form དྲིན་ཆེ་བ་ is a comparative, ‘kinder.’ ཆེན་པོ་ is one of those adjectives which have a comparative and superlative of their own as: Great. Many. Good. Small. Bad. positive ཆེན་པོ་ མང་པོ་ ཡག་པོ་ ཆུང་ཆུང་ སྡུག་པོ་ comparative ཆེ་བ་ མང་བ་ (or ང་) ཡག་ག་ ཆུང་ང་ སྡུག་ག་ superlative ཆེ་ཤོས་ མང་ཤོས་ ཡག་ཤོས་ ཆུང་ཤོས་ སྡུག་ཤོས་
