**b. *putō*** (*puttō*) is the nominative singular of *putta* (Pāli) < *putra* (Skt.) lit., 'son'. However *-putra* as a suffix should be interpreted here as 'belonging to a tribe' as in *rājaputra* (Lüders cited by Hultzsch in *CII.* I: p. 3, note 7). See also ***-mān*** (***māṉ***) below and ***-puta*** (**80.1.b**).
