page 784 note 1 At first sight I was almost tempted to recognize the name Jang also in the T'ang Annals, as de Lacouperie, T. (Beginnings of Writing, p. 41)Google Scholar, following d'Hervey St.-Denys, mentions a tribal name Mo-tchang Man (thus also Cordier, , T'oung Pao, 1908, p. 664)Google Scholar. In looking up the text in the T'ang shu (Ch. 222A, p. 46)Google Scholar I find, however, that this alleged tchang corresponds to , which reads shang; and shang could hardly be taken as the transcription of Tibetan ạJaṅ. As regards the phonetic relation of the latter to Chinese chang, compare the Tibetan transcriptions ạjam-mo (“post-stage”) and ạja-sa (“edict”), reproducing the Mongol words jam and jasa respectively, which were transcribed by the Chinese chan and cha-sa, (see Pelliot, , Journal asiatique, 1913, Mars-Avril, p. 458)Google Scholar. The Tibetan transcriptions, presumably modelled directly after the Mongol forms, are again shielded by the prefix ạ, which has neither a grammatical nor a graphic function, but a purely phonetic rôle, safeguarding the initial j from aspiration.
