| Notes | [Variety of MIA. and NIA. forms for 'ant' may be due partly to its (unknown) nonAryan origin (EWA ii 285), partly to contamination with kīṭá- and kŕ̥mi-, but mainly to some sort of taboo for a noxious insect. Although there appear to be six main types, not all NIA. forms can be grouped exactly under them] |
