Line 56:
In Sargeant (Sargeant, Winthrop (2009), The Bhagavad Gita, SUNY Press, 2009, p. 303) and Hagen (Hagen, Steve Buddhism Plain a Simple, Charles E. Tuutle Co 1997 p.25) it says that the root meaning of dukkha is "a wheel out of kilter" or "an axle hole that is badly aligned" obviously causing discomfort to the rider of the vehicle. Do you any of the experts here know if this is correct? If so, should it be added to the definition?

:Monier-Williams's 1899 Sanskrit Dictionary says that the analysis of {{m|sa|दुःख}} (the Sanskrit ancestor of {{cog|pi|dukkha}}) as {{m|sa|दुस्-|t=bad}} + {{m|sa|ख|t=axle hole}} is a folk etymology and it's probably actually a Prakritization of {{m|sa|दुस्-|t=bad}} + {{m|sa|स्थ|t=standing}}. —[[User:Angr|Aɴɢʀ]] ([[User talk:Angr|''talk'']]) 16:05, 12 March 2017 (UTC)
