2. Tieken (Hāla's Sattasai, 1983, p. 196-197) rejects Jacobi's analogical explanation for pahuppa-, saying that no certain instances of hutta from bhūta are known. The latter regularly becomes (bhữa. Insler finds Tieken's objection to Jacobi's view valid ("Prakrit Studies' 1, ‘Bulletin D'Etudes Indiennes', 9, 1991, p. 97. Both the scholars accept Pischel's etymology of pahuppa.
