( itara , adj. , commonplace, low, vulgar , = Pali itara and ittara, but also Skt. itara, BR 5.1139 ; hence not a specifically Buddhist word; doubtless specialized semantic development of itara, other : e.g. LV 88.11 itara-jātīyāḥ, commonplace, vulgar people . No *ittara has been recorded, but see itvara , which is presumed to be its Skt. original.)
