Schrader, _Reallexikon der indogermanischen Altertumskunde_, pp. 637 _sq._ For a different derivation of the name Flamen see above, p. 235. Being no philologer, I do not pretend to decide between the rival etymologies. My friend Prof. J. H. Moulton prefers the equation _Flamen_ = _Brahman_, which he tells me is philologically correct, because if _Flamen_ came from _flare_ we should expect a form like _flator_ rather than _flamen_. The form _flator_ was used in Latin, though not in this sense. Footnote 802: W. Crooke, _The Tribes and Castes of the North-Western Provinces and Oudh_, i. 30-32.
