[381] **"I call it Nibbāna (nibbānaṃ iti naṃ brūmi)":** "vāna" is a term for craving (taṇhā) — that is to say, lust (rāga), infatuation (sārāga) … covetousness, greed, the unwholesome root. The abandoning of vāna, the stilling of vāna, the relinquishing of vāna, the allaying of vāna — this is the Deathless (amata), Nibbāna.
**"Iti":** this is a connective of words … this word "iti" is a term of sequential connection of words.
**"I call":** I call, I point out, I teach, I make known, I establish, I disclose, I analyze, I make plain, I proclaim — therefore, "I call it Nibbāna."
