so:

Apart from so in the sense of “tooth” and in a secondary and figurative sense “edge” or “blade” of something, there are number of words with so as the second syllable. Does so in this mean “point” or “edge” (of something)? Or, is it a loan word from the Mongolian? Here are some words, which are lexically interesting. Those words with so which clearly means “tooth” have been left out.

-nga:

1. sgo nga

2. sla nga

3. lha nga “knee-cap”

4. gdam nga

5. zung nga (Bod rgya)

6. yung nga (Bod rgya)

7. ’ching nga (Bod rgya)

8. ru nga (Bod rgya)

The Bod rgya, for instance, states that sgong is a contraction of sgo nga but perhaps sgo na is a contraction of sgong nga, which, however, seems not to be recorded there. The Bod rgya seems to take for granted that sgong occurs only in a bisyllabic compound as in bya sgong, gser sgong, sgong rdog, and so on. Jäschke considers sgong nga and sgo na as orthographic variants. A google-search reveals several cases of sngong nga. This is perhaps also true with slang nga, as is suggested by Dan. Similarly the Bod rgya considers pus lhang to be a contraction of pus mo’i lha lnga. What is strange is that gdam nga has been considered an acceptable orthography. For me it seems to be a corruption of gdams ngag.
