Bigot - विगत and Penguin - पंक हीन - or पंखीन or पुंख हीन

 Bigot - विगत - gone, departed, seperate, deviate, etc. Words have tendency to drift in meaning. Bigot is one who is intolerant to people with different opinions, philosophies and religion. The separation of paths leads to someone now not tolerating first the departure of paths and then person. The other word could be विगठन - loss of unity.

Penguin - पंक हीन - or पंखीन or पुंख हीन - The word was used for flightless birds in the Southern Hemisphere. The word for wing is पक्ष: or पुंख, which becomes पंक. Note the similarity in the ending common sound in w-ing and ह ईन.
