Avusa
āvusa , and other forms based on Pali āvuso, brother! (see s.v. āyuṣmaṃ ): āvusa, as if voc. to a stem of that form, is used repeatedly as an address in AdP , e.g. 13.4, 10, 22 , etc. In Mv i.91.6 ( vs ) Senart reads āvuso; meter needs ‒ ⏑ x; mss. āyuṣaḥ (note that no form of āyuṣmant is metrically possible), ānuṣaḥ, onuṣaḥ, ānuṣa; in SP 378.1 (prose) Kashgar rec. āvusāho (for ed. āyuṣmanto), certainly to be read ( voc. pl. of a stem āvusa, as in AdP , with ending āho, § 8.88 ); in Mv i.317.15, 16 (prose) āvusāvo seems to be found in the same sense ( mss. unanimous on -vo; see § 8.89 ; in 16 mss. ānusāvo or anu°, but no v.l. in 15).
