page 513 note 1 I have here accepted the relation of Bō. in and Bōyō as singular and plural which is morphologically quite in order, and is asserted by some, though denied by other, authorities. The word bo.in seems to survive in bō.indūrgas (pi. bō.in dūrgasho) which was explained as arwāḥ—the spirits of the dead. Dūrg-, occurring in other compounds, appears to refer to a dead person.
