Has been taken by Roth and Grassmann to be the stem, meaning ‘bond,’ of the dative form ηadbhyas, which occurs once in the Rigveda, and which Sieg thinks means ‘ sister’s sons.’ But the sense of this dative is probably rather fto the grandsons.
Occurs several times in the Rigveda, but the exact sense is not certain. Ludwig sees in the Nahus a tribe on the Sindhu (Indus) or Sarasvatī, rich in horses, allied with the Bharatas and Simyus, connected with Kaksīvant and the Vārsāgiras, and having as kings Maśarśāra and Ayavasa. Roth, on the other hand, sees in Nahus the general sense of ‘ neighbour ’ as opposed to a member of one’s own people (Viś); this interpretation is supported by the occurrence of the phrase ηahuso ηahustam? ‘ closer than a neighbour.’ Nahusa has the same sense as Nahus in two passages of the Rigveda, but in one it seems to be intended for the proper name of a man. Possibly Nahus was originally a man like Manu.
Is the regular word for a sandal ’ or shoe ’ from the later Samhitās onwards. Boarskin is mentioned in the śatapatha Brāhmana as a material of which shoes were made. The combination staff and sandals ’ (dandopānaha) occurs as early as the Kausītaki Brāhmana.
