The Ainu word pa, “punishment” is particularly interesting when taken in connection with Latin poena and punis and this again with the Sanscrit pu and pa. The analogy becomes more striking and complete when it is remembered that the Ainu word pa means “sin” as well as “punishment.” It also occurs in the word katpak, “sins,” but lit: “heart punishment.”
