Nibbajjhati [ni-l- yujjhati, yndb. Pali form difficult to
explain: niy° = niyy° = nivv°=nibb°] to wrestle, to
fight with fists Vin 111.180. — pp. nibbuddha.
Nibhnta (adj.) [Nibbuta represents Sk. nirvj-ta (e. g. AvS
1.48) as well as nivrta, both pp. of vr, which in itself
combines two meanings, as exhibited in cognate
languages and in Sk. itself : (a) Idg. uer to cover, cover
up (Lat. apcrio = 'apa-verio to cover"up, Sk. varutram
upper garment. " cover ") and (b) "nel to resolve, roll,
move (Lat. volvo = revolve ; Gr. i'Xii, i\t'"i ; Sk. vaija
reed =Lat. ulva ; Sk. urmi wave ;
P. valli creeper, valita
wrinkled), •ner is represented in P. by e. g. vivarati
to open, nivareti to cover, obstruct, nivarana, nivarana
obstruction; 'ijel by aviita, khandh-avara. parivara,
vyavaja (busy with = moving about), samparivareti.
Thus we gain the two meanings comb'' and used promiscuously
in the one word because of their semantic
affinity : (a) *nivrta covered up, extinguished, quenched.,
and (b) *nirvrta without movement, with motion finished
(cp. nitthita), ceasing, exhaustion, both represented, by
P. nibbuta. — In derivations we have besides the rootform
vr ( = P. bbu°) that with guna vf (cp. Sk. varayati,
vrayati) or vrB = P.* bba° (with which also cp. pafivana
= *prativarana). The former is in nibbuti (ceasing,
extinction, with meaning partly influenced by
nibbutthi=Sk. nirvrjti pouring of water), the latter in
instr. nibbati and nibbayati (to cease or to go out) and
trs. nibbapeti (Cans. : to make cease, to stop or cool)
and further in nibbana (nt. instr. abstr.) (the dying
out)] (lit.) extinguished (of fire), cooled, quenched (fig.)
