PSM?[edit]

@Atitarev should this be considered a phono-semantic matching using (), where the last part of amitābha (आभा) does not mean "Buddha"?--2001:DA8:201:3512:5CD:EDCC:AB90:98BD 13:36, 23 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Interesting theory but I think it needs to be sourced. In my opinion, 阿彌陀阿弥陀 (Āmítuó) was formed from 阿彌陀佛阿弥陀佛 (Ēmítuófó), which seemed like a separate word. Feel free to discuss at WT:TR or WT:RFE. --Anatoli T. (обсудить/вклад) 20:51, 23 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
