Vo' (indecl.) a particle of emphasis, perhaps =eva, or
= vo'^ (as dative of interest). The Commentaries
explain it as " nipata," i. e. particle. Thus at Sn 560,
760.
Vo^ [cp. Vedic vah, Av. v6, Lat. vos, Gr. vfifit] is enclitic
form of tumhe (see under tuvai)), i. e. to you, of you ;
but it is generally interpreted by the C. as " nipata,"
i. e. particle (of emphasis or exclamation; i. e. vo').
Thus e. g. at Pv 1.5' (cp. PvA 26).
Vo° is commonly regarded as the prefix comb" vi-t- ava°
(i. e. vi-i- 0°), but in many cases it simply represents
ava° (=0°) with v as euphonic (" vorschlag "), as in
vonata (=onata), voloketi, vokkanti, vokinpa, voro-
peti, vosapeti, vosana, vossagga. In a few cases it
corresponds to vi-(- ud°, as in vokkamati, vocchijjati,
voyoga.

Vism
g. Kvu 261 ;

In this meaning vokara is peculiar to the Abhidhamma
and is almost synonymous with vikara 4, and in the
Yamaka with khandha, e. g. paiica v., catu v. etc. —
3. worthless thing, trifle S 11.29. — 4. inconvenience,
disadvantage (cp. vikara 3) PvA 12 (line i read: anek'
