neuter · avajja 1.1 · avajja 2.1
Avajja (adjective) [Sanskrit avadya, seemigly a + vadya, but in reality a derived from ava. According to Childers = Sanskrit avarjya from vr̥j, thus meaning "not to be shunned, not forbidden". This interpretation is justified by context of Dhp 318, 319. The Pāli commentator refers it to ava + vad (for *ava-vadya) in sense of to blame, cf. apavadati] — low, inferior, blamable, bad, deprecable Dhp 318, 319; Dhs 1160.
