² Because of semantic evolution the sense of linguistically related terms can differ from one language to another. The equivalent of Skt. *kacchū*, AV. *kasvī (s)* is found in the Koutchéen language in the form of *kasvo* but corresponds in sense not to the Sanskrit *kacchū* but to the Sanskrit *kuṣṭha*, denoting the totality of dermatoses including leprosy, cf., J. Filliozat, *Fragments de textes koutchéens de médecine et de magie*, Paris, 1948, see the word in the index.
