敦煌佛教疑伪经词语考释五则

Interpretation of five words and expressions in Dunhuang Buddhist Apocrypha

敦煌佛教疑伪经中有一些不易理解的词语,前人每多误录或歧解。本文对其中的"■瀆""蔓陌""为■师所■""■""沛"等五则词语作了较为详尽的考释。"■瀆"即"薛瀆","■"为"薛"的隶变俗体;"薛瀆"为"媟嬻"的音借,指亲近。"蔓陌"当读为"慢蓦",指轻慢、冒犯。"为■师所■"应作"为恶师所误","■"为"惡"的俗讹,"■"系"悟"的俗省,"悟"又为"误"之借字。"■"为"救"之俗讹,"救头然"为佛经习语。"沛"指"倾洒",其义在晚唐以后的文献中主要用"潑"来记录。

It is generally noted that some words and expressions in Dunhuang Chinese Buddhist apocrypha may have been wrongly transcribed or interpreted irrelevantly.This paper aims to offer a detailed clarification of xuēdú(■瀆),mànmò(蔓陌),weíèshīsuǒwù(为■师所■),jiù(■)and pō(沛),and suggests that factors including vernacular writing,phonetic borrowing,and word simplification may have been the causes of these inappropriate transcription and interpretation.
