[Buddha-l] Tibetan word for "meditation"

[Malcolm Dean]

I'm still trying to confirm or refute an earlier statement on Buddha-L
that the Tibetan word for meditation means "paying attention."

So far, four world-class authorities with name recognition have been
asked, but none have responded.

Would anyone with a Tibetan-English dictionary and, say, Tibetan 201,
please simply look the word "meditation" up and tell us all what the
entry says?

Thanks,
