This is the word usually applied in Anglo-Indian families, by both Europeans and natives, to the children—often in the plural form, \*bābā lōg\* (\*lōg\* = 'folk'). The word is not used by the natives among themselves in the same way, at least not habitually; and it would seem as if our word \*baby\* had influenced the use. - [Previous: c10.652](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.yule-burnell-1886.c10.652) - [Next: c10.654](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.yule-burnell-1886.c10.654) - [Up: c10](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.yule-burnell-1886.c10) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.yule-burnell-1886.c10.653](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.yule-burnell-1886.c10.653) · Pramāṇa
