Source: archive.org: Anekanta Jaya Pataka of Haribhadra SuriChīpa (छीप) (Gujarati word) is derived from the Sanskrit Śīpraka—“nacre” (i.e. a pearl-oyster), as occurring in the Anekāntajayapatākā-prakaraṇa, a Śvetāmbara Jain philosophical work written by Haribhadra Sūri.—[Cf. Vol. I, P. 209, l. 11]—Here the word ‘śīpraka’ is given as a synonym of ‘śukti’ meaning a nacre i.e. a pearl-oyster. But I do not find this word m any of the dictionaries available to me. It seems the Gujarati word ‘chīpa’ is derived from this word ‘śīpraka’.
