နမောတဿ

Alternative forms

 * (Tai Tham script)
 * (Burmese script)

The one word forms are of limited geographical distribution.

Etymology
Univerbation of. The bond of the two parts is weak, and some would attribute it to vagaries in the new Pali habit of separating words with spaces, which is not a practice in the vernacular languages written in the same script.

Contraction

 * 1) salutation to him
 * နမောတဿ ဘဂဝတော အရဟတော သမ္မာသမ္ဗုဒ္ဓဿ
 * namotassa bhagavato arahato sammāsambuddhassa
 * Honour to him, the Blessed One, the Exalted One, the fully Enlightened One

Usage notes
The manifestation of this univerbation is not a universal feature, and would be abnormal in the Latin script.
