:''For the machine learning project, see Apache Mahout''. A mahout is a person who rides an elephant. Usually, a mahout starts as a boy in the 'family profession' when he is assigned an elephant early in its life. They remain bonded to each other throughout their lives.〔Weeratunge, Chamalee, (''The Elephant Gates'' ). Greenleaf Book Group, 2014, p. 104. (Google eBook)〕 == Etymology == The word ''mahout'' derives from the Hindi words ''mahaut'' (महौत) and ''mahavat'' (महावत), and originally from the Sanskrit ''mahamatra'' (महामात्र). Another term is ''cornac'' or ''kornak'', which entered many European languages via Portuguese. This word derives ultimately from the Sanskrit term ''karināyaka'', a compound of ''karin'' (elephant) and ''nayaka'' (leader). In Tamil, the word used is ''pahan'', which means "elephant keeper", and in Sinhalese ''kurawanayaka'' ("stable master"). In Malayalam the word used is ''paappaan''. In Burma, the profession is called ''oozie''; in Thailand ''kwan-chang''; and in Vietnam ''quản tượng''. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Mahout」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
