We continue to analyze the spectrum of the Herbig Ae/Be star V380 Ori. The
hydrogen-line profiles in the spectra of V380 Ori, BF Ori, and gamma Cas sh
ell stars (XX Oph and Pleione) are compared. We analyze the three-component
model that consists of optically thick and optically thin (in continuum) e
nvelopes around an AO star with a luminosity close to the ZAMS luminosity.
The star manifests itself only in the hydrogen-line wings. The emission she
ll changes its luminosity and shape, which shows up in highly variable brig
ht emission lines of gases and metals. The optically thick envelope is more
stable. The origin, luminosity, and instability of the envelopes are relat
ed to nonstationary accretion from a cold protoplanetary disk. The chemical
composition of the envelopes lends support to this version.
