Hypostasis (linguistics)
In linguistics, a hypostasis (from the Greek word ὑπόστασις meaning ''foundation'', ''base'' or ''that which stands behind'') is a relationship between a name and a known quantity, as a cultural personification (i.e. objectification with personality) of an entity or quality. It often connotes the personification of typically elemental powers, such as wind and fire, or human life, fertility, and death. In descriptive linguistics, the term was first introduced by Leonard Bloomfield to account for uses of synsemantic words as autosemantic in sentences such as ''I'm tired of your ifs and buts''.

Thug Behram
Thug Behram (c. 1765 – 1840), also known as Buhram Jamedar and the King of the Thugs, was a leader of the Thuggee cult active in Oudh in central India during the late 18th and early 19th century, and is often cited as one of the world's most prolific serial killers.

Only 125 were confirmed.
