    S.v. TochB waräñce* 'sand' "Clearly related to TchA wāryāñc 'id.', it is nonetheless not directly equatable. Neither the TchA long vowels nor the -y- are matched by anything in Tocharian B. Extra-Tocharian cognates are most unsure. The TchA *wār- might allow us to connect the word with the heretofore isolated Sanskrit vāluka- 'sand'"
