Now if I can just remember it. I trust your knowledge. Usually if I can’t remember meaning I look in your pose list.

I had been thinking that the ‘ng’ part of the word (can’t show it phonetically here) was a phonological change to the intervocalic [g].

Just noticed Urdhva Baddhanguliyasana was spelled Baddha Guliyasana. I think ang means limb and is included in the following pose names because the fingers, toes, feet, etc. have to be associated with a limb–Padangusthasana means foot (limb) big toe, and Baddhanguliyasana means bound (limb) fingers pose, Triangmukhaikapada means three limb face one foot, etc. I didn’t look anything up, so I could be wrong about every single thing I just wrote.
