² From *bap*, ‘father,’ and the termination *ot*, or belonging to, and by which clans are distinguished; as Karansot, ‘descended of Karan’; Mansinghgot, ‘descended of Mansingh.’ It is curious enough that the mountain clans of Albania, and other Greeks, have the same distinguishing termination, and the Mainote of Greece and the Mairot of Rajputana alike signify mountaineer, or ‘of the mountain,’ *maina* in Albanian; *mairu* or *meru* in Sanskrit. [The words have no connexion.]
