Rumbhati [so read for rumhati (Trenckner, Notes 599; the root is another form of rudh (as in Prk.): see
rundhati. The Dhtm (547) defines by "upp")ana"] to obstruct, surround, besiege (=rundhati 3) J vi.391
(where spelling rumhati; in phrase nagara' r.). See also ni˚, sanni˚. -- pp. r()ha.
Rumma
Rumma (adj.) [put down (rightly) by Geiger, P.Gr. § 53 as different fr. Sk. rukma (shining); Morris,
J.P.T.S. 1893, 12 tried the etym. rumma=Sk. rumra "tawny," o% rukma (rukmin) shiny. It is still an
unsolved problem. It may not be far off to trace a relation (by miswriting, dissimilation or false analogy) to
ruppa in sense of ruppati, or to ruj, or even rudda. The C. expln of all the rumma -- & rummin passages is
anañjita, i. e.
-- 574 --
unkempt] miserable, dirty, poorly, in cpds. ˚r(pin J iv.387 (=l(khavesa C.), with v. l. duma˚; and ˚v!sin

Rummin=rumma
Rummin=rumma (dirty -- soiled) J iv.322 (v. l. dummi); vi.194 (do.).
Rumhaniya
Rumhaniya at M i.480 is doubtful in spelling. The meaning is clearly "furthering growth, making or being
prosperous, bringing luck" (combd with ojavant), as also indicated by v. l. ru)h˚. Thus it cannot belong to
rumbh, but must represent either rup, as given under ruppati in meaning "ropana" (Dhtm 837), or ruh (see
r(hati). Kern, Toev. s. v. trsls "tot groei geschikt" (i. e. able to grow), Neumann, "erquickend" (i. e.
refreshing).
