The reference marks this entry “Old”. That is not a spelling variant — it is the source’s own way of separating two different villages that both go by Attu bayilu in Mekku Nadu.
So Attu bayilu (Old) and the other Attu bayilu are distinct hattis with distinct ooru and bloodline positions, and treating them as one would send a family to the wrong village.

Where this information comes from
The hatti list is compiled from the “Badaga Hattis by Seeme” master list, itself drawn from Nakku Betta magazine (late 1970s, ed. K.H. Madha Gowder) by Wg Cdr Bellie Jayaprakash, with community corrections layered on. Entries are still being validated with elders in the community, so a spelling or a seeme may yet be corrected. If you know this hatti better than this page does, we would rather hear from you.
