Superlative formation from ora (“below”)[1]
Adjective
orima
- on this side
- 2006, The Fourth Book in the Suttanta-Pitaka: Majjhimanikāya (I), page 336:
- තස්ස එවමස්ස: “අයං ඛො මහා උදකණ්ණවො ඔරිමං තීරං සාසඞ්කං සප්පටිභයං. පාරිමං තීරං ඛෙමං අප්පටිභයං. නත්ථි ච නාවා සන්තාරණී උත්තරසෙතු වා අපාරාපාරං ගමනාය.
- Tassa evamassa: "ayaṃ kho mahā udakaṇṇavo orimaṃ tīraṃ sāsaṅkaṃ sappaṭibhayaṃ. Pārimaṃ tīraṃ khemaṃ appaṭibhayaṃ. Natthi ca nāvā santāraṇī uttarasetu vā apārāpāraṃ gamanāya.
- Therefore things are thus: So, there's this large deluge, a dubious and perilous near shore, a safe far shore free of peril; and there is neither a ferry boat or a bridge to go from the near shore to the far shore.
Usage notes
Only found in the expression orima tīra and its univerbation orimatīra (“the near shore”).[1]
