The eta and the hinin were the lowest classes, technically unclean and sub-human respectively. The eta occupations (entertainers, prostitutes) broke Buddhist taboos, and the hinin were functionaries such as guards, sweepers, and executioners. In the 1800s, the term burakumin began to be used for both groups. Those who were simply disgraced, rather than born into the hinin had some chance to leave the caste.
