Khussa (खुस्स).—[compound] particle, according to Senart = Sanskrit khalu svid: Mahāvastu ii.184.8 (verse) mā khu-ssa me nāga kṛtaṃ na jāne, do not, O nāga, fail to recognize (gratefully) what I have done (for you). In Pali -ssu, -su, -si occur for svid (Geiger 22; 111.1); [Pali Text Society’s Pali-English Dictionary] s.v. su^3 states that sa and assa occur, allegedly for Sanskrit sma, but no such forms are cited in their alphabetic positions in [Pali Text Society’s Pali-English Dictionary], nor have I found any other record of them. Cf. sva (?).
