Ḷīyati, is given at Dhtp 361 as a variant of ḍī to fly (see ḍeti), and explained as “ākāsa-gamana. ” Similarly at Dhtm 586 as “vehāsa-gamana. ” (Page 590)
Pali is the language of the Tipiṭaka, which is the sacred canon of Theravāda Buddhism and contains much of the Buddha’s speech. Closeley related to Sanskrit, both languages are used interchangeably between religions.
