आवुस (Avusa)

 
Edgerton Buddhist Hybrid
English
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).
