vambh + e
despise
despises; treats with contempt
Vambheti and Vamheti [causative of vambh, a root of uncertain origin (connected with vam?). There is a form vambha given by Sanskrit lexicographers as a dialect word for vaṃśa. Could it be a contraction from vyambheti = vi + denominative from ambho 2, particle of contempt? — Dhātup (602) defines vambh as "garahāyaṃ"] to treat with contempt, despise, revile, scold; usually either combined with khuṃseti or opposed to ukkaṃseti, e.g. Vin II 18; IV 4; M I 200 (= Snp 132 avajānāti), 402 f.; D I 90; A II 27 f.; Thag 621; Sv I 256 (= hīḷeti); Dhp-a IV 38; Vv-a 348. — past participle vambhayita. — vamheti is found at Ja I 191, 356; cf. vamhana. Note: The spelling bh interchanges with that of h (vamheti), as ambho shows variation amho. Trenckner (introd. to M 1. page 1) gives vambheti (as B mss reading) the preference over vamheti (as Sinhalese mss reading). Morris' note on vambheti in JPTS 1884, 96 does not throw any light on its etymology.
