Meaning of 'sira'

n (sira S through H) The head. Pr. sira salamata to pagadya pacasa. For phrases and compounds see under sira. Note. The compounds sirakhanda, siragomi, siratopa, siraphodya &c., as compounded with sira, should be written thus and be inserted in order here, but, as popularly confounded with the compounds with sira S and with P, and therefore ordinarily written sira- khanda, siragomi &c., they appear so written and in order under sira.

The compounds शीरखंड, शीरगोमी, शीरटोप, शीरफोड्या &c., as compounded with शीर, should be written thus and be inserted in order here, but, as popularly confounded with the compounds with शिर S and with P, and therefore ordinarily written शिर- खंड, शिरगोमी &c., they appear so written and in order under शिर.
