[298] Tobacco is no doubt a derivative from some American word, and Platts derives the Hindi tanbaku or tambaku from tobacco. The fact that tanbaku is also Persian for tobacco militates against the Sanskrit derivation suggested by Mr. Ganpat Rai and others, and tends to demonstrate its American importation.
