"nightmare" and "bugbear"

[Chandan Narayan]

Dear IE-ists,

I don't know if this reference has been brought up as i'm new to this
discussion, but Wendy Doniger addresses and discusses the Indo-European
Mare quite thoroughly in her _Women, Androgynes, and other Mythical
Beasts_ (Chicago, 1980).

Sorry if this is old news.

Best,
Chandan Narayan
