INTRODUCTION

	§32. Mas. Nouns ending in -ṛi.
(i) Gen. sg.	-no : fa[hira]natuno A 50. -u(?) : bhātu. . A 54a.
(ii) Gen. pl.	-no : With the loss of final anusvāra. m[ā]tāpituna A 108.
	§33. Fem. Nouns ending in -ṛi.
(i) Gen.	-u : matu A 18, A 28, mātu A 54b, A 120 (māta A 90b perhaps a mistake for mātu), dhitu A 42.
	§34. Mas. and Fem. Nouns ending in consonants.

We find both the tendencies to derive the forms from their Sanskrit parallels or to change these bases to those ending in vowels.

	(a) Mas. nouns in –at.
(i) Gen. sg.	-o : bhagavato B 13, B 14, B 15 etc.
	-sa : With the transference to –a declension, only in Sirimasa A 110.
(ii) Loc. sg.	-e : Himavate B 79.
	(b) Mas. nouns in -an.
(i) Nom. sg.:	The forms of rājan are directly derived from Sanskrit. rājā B 39, b 56, Nāgarājā B 6, B 36, B 37. Once Nāgarāja B 31a. But we have the ending –o in Suchilomo B 9.
(ii) Inst. sg.:	atanā A 112 comes from Sk. ātmanā.
(iii) Gen. sg.:	The forms of rājan are again derived from Sanskrit. raño A 1, A 4. But the ending –(n)o is witnessed in rajano A 3, A 130.
	(c) Mas. noun in -it.
(i) Nom. sg.	-i : Pasenaji B 39.
	(d) Mas. nouns in -in.
(i) Nom. sg.	-i : Dighatapasi B 63, Vijapi B 61.
(ii) Gen. sg.	-(n)o : Vipasino ^[1] B 13, peṭakino A 56, aṁtevāsino A 73. -sa : With the change to vowel base. Mahamukhisa A 42.
	(e) Mas. noun in -ut.
(i) Gen. sg.	-sa : Āgarajusa A 1.
	(f) Fem. noun in -as.
(i) Nom. sg.	-ā : achharā B 28, B 30, B 31.

Â§36. Numerals : Perhaps we have the nom. pl. neut. form of tri in (t)ini B 25. The other numerals are chha “six ” B 26 and sahasa “ thousand ” B 26.

Â§37. Verb forms : We only get some forms of the present indicative, one form of Aorist, one form of absolutive, and some past passive participles.

	(a) Present 3rd sg. indicative.
(i) active	-ti : deti B 32, dohati B 73, anusāsati B 63, dadati B 75, sāsani (for sāsati) B 18.
(ii) middle	-te: vadate B 37, vaṁdate B 40.
(b) Aorist rd. sg.	-si : avayesi B 51.
(c) Absolutive	-tā : ketā (<*krayitvā) B 32.

(d) Past passive participles :

All these, except dina (i.e. dinna) for data (i.e. datta), are derived from their corresPonding Sanskrit equivalents. upaṁna- (or upaṁṇa-?) A 1, kata- A 112,
______________________

^[1] From Vipaśyin. Barua-Sinha derive it from Vipaśehit-. But in that case the form should be Vipasisa.
