Word origin · etymology
Sanskrit compound: triṃśāṃśa.
The dictionary records triṃśāṃśa as a thirtieth of a zodiac sign, or a degree. This lexical meaning should not be mistaken for the complete rule of the unequal Parashari D30 chart.

How we know · epistemology
Unequal-portion mapping convention
Under the selected Parashari rule, D30 assigns five unequal source intervals to signs. A unique transformed degree is not supplied by that sign assignment. The traditional vocabulary of difficulty must not be taken as evidence of disease, fault or inevitable harm.
