Jao'a, to watch, to guard, to be awake, be vigilant. To attend upon. This word is no 



doubt Sanscrit, and is marked as such by Marsden. In Clough the siraple word Jaga

(51) The Sanscrit root is jdgri, with W-vocalis. But this again must be a reduplication of a simple 

 monosyllabic root, perhaps from gri, sonum edere; canere, laudare, from which also gal -lus (Cf. 

 garrulus), the watchman, and singer of the night seems to have his name. In Jaga the ri-voca- 

 lis is replaced by a, the pronunciation of the ri at the end of the word being difücult. In the mid- 

 dle of words the ri is replaced by rè the sound nearest to it, but at the end this rè woud appear 

 to be to weak. Fr.
