In our days they brought to the King Philip II., now in glory, a Bada which was long at Madrid, having his horn sawn off, and being blinded, for fear he should hurt anybody. . . The name of Bada is one imposed by the Indians themselves; but assuming that there is no language but had its origin from the Hebrew in the confusion of tongues . . . it will not be out of the way to observe that Bada is an Hebrew word, from Badad, ‘solus, solitarius,’ for this animal is produced in desert and very solitary places.” — \*Cobarruvias\*, s. v. - [Previous: c10.10](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.yule-burnell-1886.c10.10) - [Next: c10.12](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.yule-burnell-1886.c10.12) - [Up: c10](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.yule-burnell-1886.c10) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.yule-burnell-1886.c10.11](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.yule-burnell-1886.c10.11) · Pramāṇa
