PREFACE
TO THE FlEST EDITION.
It was ia Jnne, 1875, as I chanced to be for a day or
two in Leipzig, that I was unexpectedly invited to prepare
the Sanskrit grammar for the Indo-Enropean series projected
t)y Messra. Breitkopf and Hftiiel. After some consideration,
and consultation with friends, I accepted the task, and have
since deroted to it what time conld he spared from regular
dntiea, after the satisfaction of engagements earlier formed.
If the delay seems a long one, it was nevertheless onavoid-
ahle; and I would gladly, in the interest of the work itself,
hare made it still longer. In every snch case, it is necess-
ary to make a compromise between measurably satisfying a
present pressing need, and doing .the subject fuller justice
at the' cost of more time; and it seemed as if the call for
a Sanskrit grammar on a somewhat different plan from those
already in use — excellent as some of these in many respects
%i& — was urgent enough to recommend a speedy com-
pletion of the work begun.
The objects had eapedally in view in the preparation
of this grammar have been the following:
1. To make a presentation of the facte of the language
primarily as they show themselves in use in the literature,
and only secondarily as they are laid down by the native
grammarians. The earliest European grammars were by the
necessity of the case chiefly founded on their native prede-

cesBors; and a traditional method was thos eBtabliBhed whicfa
has been perhaps Bomewhat too closely adhered to, at the
ezpeuse of clearness and of proportion, as well as of scien-
tific truth. Accordingly, my attention has not been directed
toward a profonoder stndy of the grammatieal science of the
Hinda schools: their teachings I hare been contented to take
as already reported to Western learners in the existing
Western grammars.
2. To include also in the presentation the forms and
constructions of the older language, as exhibited in the Veda
and the Brahmana. Orassmann's excellent Index- Vocabalary
to the Rig- Veda, and my own manuscript one to the Atharva-
Veda (which I hope soon to be able to make public'), gave
me in full detail the great mass of Vedic material ; and this,
with some assistance from pupils and friends, I hare sought
to complete, as far as the circumstances permitted, from the
other Vedic texts and from the rarions works of the Brah-
mana period, both printed and manuscript
3. To treat the language throughout as an accented one,
omitting nothing of what is known respecting the nature of
the Sanskrit accent, its changes in combination and inflection,
and the tone of individual words — being, in all this, ne-
cessarily dependent especially upon the material presented
by the older accentuated texts.
4. To cast all statements, classifications, and bo on,
into a form consistent with the teachings of lingoistie science.
• In doing this, it has been necessary to discard a few of tfa^
long-used and familiar divisions and terms of Sanskrit gram-
mar — for example, the olasBiScation and nomenclature of
"special tenses" and "general tenses" (which is so indefen-
sible that one can only wonder at its having maintained itself
so long), the order and terminology of the conjugation-classes,
the separation in treatment of the facte of internal and ex-
* It was published, as vol. XII. of the Journal of the Americao

ternal eaphonie combination, and the like. Bnt care hag been
taken to facilitate the tTan«tion from the old to the new;
and the changes, it is beliered, will commend themaelves to
nnqnalified .acceptance. It has been sought also to help an
appreciation of the character of the language by putting its
facta as far as possible into a statistical form. In this respect
the native grammar is especially deficient and misleading.
Regard has been constantly had to the practical needs
of the learner of the langnage, and it has been attempted,
by due arrangement and by the use of different sizes of
type, to make the work as usable by one whose object
it is to acquire a knowledge of the classical Sanskrit alone
as those are in which the earlier forms are not included.
The custom of transliterating all Sanskrit words into Euro-
pean characters, which has become Qsual in European San-
skrit grammars, is, as a matter of course, retained through-
out; and, because of the difficulty of setting even a small
Sanskrit type with anything bnt a large European, it is
practiced alone in the smaller sizes.
While the treatment of the facts of the langnage has
thus been made a historical one, within tiie limits of the
langnage itself, I have not rentured to make it comparative,
by brining in the analogous forms and processes of other
related languages. To do this, in addition to all that was
attempted beside, would have extended the woik, both in
content and - in time of preparation, far beyond the limits
assigned to it. And, having decided to leave out this ele-
ment, I have done so consistentiy throughout. Explanations
of the origin of forms have also been ayoided, for the same
reason and for others, which hardly call for statement
A grammar is necessarily in great part founded on its
predecessors, and it would be in vain to attempt an acknowl-
edgment in detail of all the aid received (com other schol-
ars. I have had at baud always especially the very schol-
arly and reliable brief summary of Eielhom, the full and
itizecy Google
excellent work of Mooier Williams, tbe smaller grammar of
fiopp [a wonder of learning and method for the time when
it wae prepared), and the Tolnmes of Benfey and MtUler.
As regards the material of tbe Ungnage, no other aid, of
course, has been at all comparable with the great Peters-
bnrg lexicon of BObtlingk and Roth, tbe existence of which
gives by itself a new character to all investigations of the
Sanskrit langnage. What I have not found there or in the
special collections made by myself or by others for me, I
. have called below "not quotable" — a provisional designa-
tion, neeessarily liable to correction in detail by the results
of further researches. For what concerns tbe verb, its forms
and their classification and uses, I have bad, as every one
must have, by far the most aid firom DelbrUok, in his Alt-
indisches Verbum and bis various syntactical contribu-
tions. Former pupils of my own, Professors Avery and
£^gren, have also helped me, in connection with this
subject and with others, in a way and measure tiiat calls for
public acknowledgment. In respect to the important matter
of the declension in the earliest language, I have made great
use of the elaborate paper in the Joum. Am. Or. Soc. (print-
ed contemporaneously with this work, and used by me
almost, but not quite, to the end of the subjeot) by my
former pupil Prof. Lanman; my treatment of'it is founded
on bis. My manifold obligations to my own teacher, Prof.
Weber of Berlin, also require to be mentioned: among other
things, I owe to him the use of his copies of certain nn-
published texts of the Brahmana period, not otherwise access^
ible to me; and he was kind enough to look through -with
me my work in its inchoate condition, favoring me with
valuable suggestions. For this last favor I have likewise to
thank Prof. DelbrUck — who, moreover, has taken the trouble
to glance over for a like purpose the greater part of the
proof-sheets of the grammar, as they came from the press.

and I have had the benefit of kind suggestions f^om varions

the language.
In order not to impair the applicability of the referen-
ces already made to the work by rarioiis authors, its para-

of paragraphs have been more thoroughly marked, 'by letteni

agraph-numbers hare been set at the outer instead of the

My remoteneBs from the place of publication has for-
bidden me the reading of more than one proof; bnt the
kindness of Professor Lanman in adding his revision {ac-
companied by other timely suggeetious} to mine, and the
care of the printers, will be found, I trust, to have aided
in securing a text disfigured by few errors of the press.
Circumstances beyond my control hare delayed for a

INTRODUCTION.
Bbiep Account op the Indian Litebatuee.
It seems desirable to give here such a sketch of the
history o£ Indian literature as shall show the relation to
one another of the diiferent periods and forms of the lan-
^age treated in the following grammar, and the position
of the works there quoted.
The name "Sanskrit" [saibskpta, 1087 d, adorned, elab-
orated, perfected}, which is popularly applied to the whole
ancient and sacred language of India, belongs more properly
only to that dialect which, regulated and established by the
labors of the native grammaiians, has led for the last two
thousand years or more an artificial life, like that of the
Latin during most of the same period in Europe, as the
written and spoken means of communication of the learned
and priestly caste; and which even at the present day fills
that office. It is thus distinguished, on the one hand, from
the later and derived dialects — as the Prakrit, forms of
language which have datable monuments from ae early as
the third century before Christ, and which are represented
by inscriptions and coins, by the speech of the uneducated
characters in the Sanskrit dramas (see below), and by a limited
literature; the Pali, a Prakritic dialect which became the sac-
red language of Buddhism in Ceylon and Farther India, and is

still ID service theie as such; and jet latet and more altered
tongues forming the transition to the languages of modern
India. And, on the other hand, it is distinguished, but
very much less sharply and widely, from the older dialects
or forms of speech presented in the canonical literature,
the Veda and Brahmana.
This tact, of the fixation by learned treatment of an
authorized mode of expression, which should thenceforth be
used according to rule in the intercourse of the educatedj
is the cardinal one in Indian linguistic history; and as the
native grammatical literature has determined the form of
the language, so it has also to a large extent determined
the grammatical treatmoat of the language by European
scholars.
Much in the history of the learned movement is still
obscuTse, and opinions are at variance even as to points of
prime consequence. Only the concluding works in the devel-
opment of the gramatical science have been preserved to
us; and though they are evidently the perfected fruits of a
long series of learned labors, the records of the latter are
lost beyond recovery. The time and the place of the cre-
ation of Sanskrit are unknown; and as to its occasion, we
hare only our inferences and conjectures to lely upon. It
seems, however, altogether likely that the grammatical sense
of the ancient Hindus was awakened in great measure by
their study of the traditional sacred texts, and by their com-
parison of its different language with that of contemporary
use. It is certain that the grammatical study of those texts
(fSkhSs, lit'ly branchet], phonetic and othei; was eealously
and effectively followed in the Biahmaaic schools; this is
attested by our possession of a number of phouetico-gram-
matical treatises, prSti9SkhyBS (pratt fftkhBm belonging to
each several text), each having for subject one principal
Vedic text, and noting all its peculiarities of form; these,
both by the depth and exactness of their own researches
and by the number of authorities which they quote, speak
plainly of a lively scientific activity continued during a long
time. What part, on the other hand, the notice of differ-
Digitizecy Google
iMTSODnonoH. ziil
ceneee between the correct speech of the learned and the
idtered dialects of the vulgar may have borne in the same
moTement is not easy to determine; but it is not customary
that a langu^e has its proper usages fixed by rule until
the danger is distinctly felt of its undergoing corruption.
The labors of the general school of Sanskrit giammar
reached a climax in the grammarian P&pini, whose text-book,
contaioii^ the facts of the language cast into the highly
Artful and difficult form of about four thousand algebraic-
formula-like rules (in the statement and arrangement of
which brevity alone is had in view, at the cost of distinct-
ness and unambiguousness), became for all after time the
authoritative, almost sacred, norm of correct speech. Re-
specting his period, nothing really definite and trustworthy
is known; but he is with much probability held to have
. lived some time (two to four centuries) before the Christian
era. He has had commentators in abundance, and has. under-
gone at theit hands some measure of amendment and com-
pletion; but he has not been overthrown or superseded.
' The chief and most authoritative commentary on his work
is that called the HahSbhSahya greul comment, by Fa-
tanjali.
A language, even if not' a vernacular one which is in
tolerably wide and constant use for writing and speaking,
is, of course, kept in life principally by direct tradition, by
communication from teacher to scholar and the study and
- imitation of existing texts, and not by the learning of gtam-
matical rales; yet the existence of grammatical authority, -
and especially of a single one, deemed infallible and of pre-
scriptive value, could not tai\ to exert a strong regulative
influence, leading to the. avoidance more and more of what
was, even if lingering in use, inconsistent with his teachings,
and also, in the constant reproduction of texts, to the grad-
ual effacement of whatever they might contain 'that was
unapproved. Thus the whole more modern literature of
India has been Paninised, so to speak, pressed into the
mould prepared by him and his school. What are the
limits of tbo artificiality of this process is not yet known.

The attention of special students of the Hindu giammai
[aiid the subject is so intricate and difficult that the number
is exceedingly small of those who hare masteted it suffi-
ciently to have a competent opinion on such geneial matters)
has been hitherto mainly diiected towaid detenuining what
the Sanskiit according to Pacini leally is, toward explaining
the language from the grammar. And, naturally enough,
in India, or wherever else the leading object is to learn to
speak and write the language correctly — that is, as author-
ized by the grammarians — that is the proper course to
pursue. This, however, is not the way really to understand
the language. The time must soon come, or it has come
already, when the endeavor shall be instead to explain the
grammar from the language: to test in all details, so far
aa shall be found possible, the reason of Panini's rules
(which contain not a little that seems problematical, or even
sometimes perverse); to determine what and how much
genuine usage he had everywhere as foundation, and what
traces may be left in the literature of usages possessing an
inherently authorized character, though unratified by him.
By the term "classical" or "later" language, then, as
constantly used below in the grammar, is meant the lan-
guage of those literary monuments which are written in con-
formity with the rules of the native grammar: virtually, the
whole proper Sanskrit literature. For although parts of this
9X6 doubtless earlier than Paitini, it is impossible to tell
just what parts, or how far they have escaped in their style
the leveling influence of the grammar. The whole, too,
may be called so fax an artificial literature as it is written
in a phonetic form (see grammar, 101 a) which never can
have been a truly vernacular and living one. Nearly all of
it is metrical: not poetic works only, biit narratives, histories
(so far as anything deserving that name can he said to exist),
and scientific treatises of every variety, are done into verse;
a prose and a prose literature hardly has an existence (the.
principal exceptions, aside &om the voluminous commen-
taries, are a few stories, as the Da9akiunKraoarita and the
VSsavadattSj. Of linguistic history there is n^t to nothing

in it all; but only a history of etyle, and this foi the most
pait ahoVing a gradual depiaration, an inciease of artificiality
and an intensification of certain mote undesirable features
of the language — such as the use of passive constiuotions
and of participles instead of veibs, and the substitution of
compounds foi sentences.
This being the condition of the later literature, it is of
so much the higher consequence that there is an eailiei
literature, to which the suspicion of artificiality does not -
attach, or attaches at least only in a minimal degree, which
has a truly vetnaculai ohaiacter, and abounds in prose as
well as verse,
The results of the very earliest literary productiveness
of the Indian people are the hymns with which, when they
had only crossed the threshold of the country, and when
their geographical horizon was still limited to the river-
basin of the Indus with its tributaries, they praised their
gods, the deified powers of nature, and accompanied the
rites of theii comparatively simple worship. At what period
these were made and sung cannot be determined vrith any
approach to accuracy: it may have been as early as 2000
B. C. They were long handed down by oral tradition, pre-
served by the care, and increased by the additions and
imitations, of succeeding generations; the mass was ever
growing, and, with the change of habits and beliefs and
religious practices, was becoming variously applied — sung
in chosen extracts, mixed with other material into liturgies,
adapted with more or less Of distortion to help the needs
of a ceremonial which was coming to be of immense elah*
oration and intricacy. And, at some time in the course
of this history, there was made for preservation a great col-
lection of the hymn-mateiial, mainly its oldest and most
genuine part, to the extent of over a thousand hymns and ten
thousand verses, arranged according to traditional authorship
and to subject and length and metre of hymn: this collection
is the Blg-VedB Veda of verses (fc) or of hymns. Other
collections were made also out of the same general mass
of traditional material: doubtless later, although the inter-
Digitizecy Google

lelatioDS of this period aie as jet too unclear to oJlow of
out speaking with entire confidence aa to anything twncetn-
ing them. Hius, the SSma-Veda Veda of chanU (Bftmut),
containing only about a sixth as much, its veises neaily all
found in the Rig-Veda also, but appearing hete with nume-
rous differences of reading : these were passages put together
for chanting at the soma-saorifioes. Again, collections called
by the compiehensiTe name of Tojur-Veda Veda of aac-
rificial formuku (yajua) : these contained not verses alone,
but also numerous prose utterances, mingled with the former,
in the order in which they were practically employed in
the oeremomes ; tfaey were strictly liturgical collections. Of
these, there are in existence several texts, which have their
mutual differences: the Tajasaneyi-Saiiihita (in two slightly
discordant versions, MKdhyandina and ES^va), sometimes
also called the White Yajur-Veda; and the various and
considerably differing texts of the Black Yajur-Veda, namely
the T&itUrtya-SaihhltS, the USitrBra^J'-SaihhitS, the Eapiq-
thala-BaihliitS, and the EBtbaka (the two last not yet pub-
lished). Finally, another historical collection, like the Rig-
Veda, but made up mainly of later and less accepted
material, and called [among other less currtot names) the
Atharva-Veda Veda of the Athareana (a legendary priestly
family); it is somewhat more than half as bulky as the Rig*
Veda, and contains a certain amount of material correspond-
ing to that of the latter, and also a number of brief prose
passages. To this last collection is very generally refused
in the orthodox literature the Name of Veda; but for us it
is the most interesting of all, after the Rig-Veda, because
it contains the largest amount of hymn-material (or mantra,
as it is called, in distinction from the prose brfthma^a),
and in a language which, though distinctly less antique
than that of the other, is nevertheless truly Vedio. Two
versions of it are extant, one of them in only a single
known manuscript.
A not insignificant body of like material, and of various
period [although doubtless in the main belonging to the
latest time of Vedic productiveness, and in part perhaps
Diaii.zecy Google-
iKTRODnOTION XTll
the imitative woik of a yet mote modern time), is aoattOTed
thiough the texta to be later described, the BrShmavas and
the Satr»B. To aasemble aad sift and compare it is now
one of the pressing needs of Vedic study.
The fundamental divisions of the Vedic liteiatme here
mentioned have all bad theit various schools of sectaries,
each of these with a text of its own, showing some differ-
ences from those of the other schools; but those meotiooed
above are all that are now known to be in existence; and
the chance of the discovery of others grows every year
smaller.
T^e labor of the schools in the conservation of theii
saoied texts was extraordinary, and has been crowned with
such success that the text of each school, whatever may
be its differences from those of other schools, is virtually
without various readings, preserved with all its peculiarities
of dialect, and its smallest and most exceptional traits of
phonetic form, pure and unobscured. It is not the place
here to describe the means by which, in addition to the
religious care of the sectaries, this accuracy was secured:
forms of texts, lists of peculiarities and treatises upon them,
and so on. When this kind of care began in the case of
each text, and what of original character may have been
efiaced before it, or lost in spite of it, cannot be told. But
it ia certain that the Vedic records furnish, on the whole,
a wonderfully accurate and trustworthy picture of a form of
ancient Indian language [as well as ancient Indian beliefs
and institutions) which was a natural and undistotted one,
and which goes back a good way behind the classical San-
skrit. Its differences &om the latter the following treatise
endeavors to show in detail.
Along with the vetses and sacrificial formulas and
phrases in the text of the Black Yajur-Veda are given
long prose sections, in which the ceremonies are described,
theii meaning and the reason of the details and the accom-
panying utterances are discussed and explained, illustrative
l^ends are reported of fabricated, and various speculations,
etymological and other, are indulged in. Such matter comes

to be called brfthma^a (appaiently relating to the brahman
ot u>orship). In the White Yajm-Veda, it is separated into
a woik by itself, beside the sfubhitft oi text of veises and
foimulas, and is called the patapatba-Brftbrna^a Brahmana
of a hundred ways. Other sitnilai collections are found, be-
longing to vaiious othei schools of Vedic study, and they
beat the common name of BrSbmaijw, with the name of the
school, or some other distinctive title, prefixed. Thus, the
Aitarera and EKuQltokl-Brthma^aa, belonging to the schools
of the Rig-Veda, the PoSoaTiAfa and Sa^TiAfa-Br&hma^a
and other minor work's, to the Sama-Veda; the Gopatha-
Brfthmaoa, to the Atbarva-Yeda ; and a JSiminlya- or Tala-
TakSra-Brfthmaoa, to the Sama-Veda, has recently (Buinell)
been discovered in India; the TBittiiiya^BTftbrna^a is a col-
lection of mingled mantra and brBhmaj^a, bke the saihhitS
of the same name, but supplementary and later. These
works are likewise regarded as canonical by the schools,
and are learned by their sectaries with the same extreme care
which is devoted to the satbhitSa, and their condition of
textual preservation is of a kindred excellence. To a cer-
tain extent, there is among them the possession of common
material: a fact the bearings of which are not yet fully
understood.
Notwithstanding the inanity of no small part of their
contents, the Biohma^ias are of a high order of interest in
their bearings on the history of Indian institutions; and
philologically they are not less important, since they re-
present a form of language in most respects intermediate
between the classical and that of the Vedas, and offer spe-
cimens on a large scale of a prose style, and of one which
is in the main a natural and freely developed one — the
oldest and most primitive Indo-European prose.
Beside the Brahmanas are sometimes foimd later ap-
pendices, of a similar character, called Ara^yakao {foreat-
sections): as the Aitareya- Ara9.yaka , Tfiittlriya-Arapyaka ,
Bfhad -Aranyaka, and so on. And from some of these, or

howeyer, ate continued and added to down to a oompaia-
lively modein time. The Upanishads are one of &e lines
by which the Biahma^a literatuie passes over into the latei
theolf^cal literatuie.
Another line of transition is shown in the BtttrM [linea,
rules). The works thus named are analogous with the
Brahmaj^as in that they belong to the sohoole of Vedic
study and aie named from them, and that they deal with
the religious ceremonies : treating them, however, in the
way of prescription, not of dogmatic explanation. They,
too, contain some mantra or hymn-material, not found to
occur elsewhere. In part (9r&utB or kalpa-satros] , they take
up the great sacrificial ceremonies, with which the Brah-
manas have to do; in part (grhya-sfltras), they teach the
minor duties of a pious householder; in some oases [sS-
mayaoSrika-antraa] they lay down the general obligations of
one whose life is in accordance with prescribed duty. And
out of the last two, or especially the last, come by natural
development the law-books (dharma-fSBtraB), which make
a conspicuous figure in the later literature: the oldest and
most noted • of them being that called by the name of
Manu [an outgrowth, it is believed by many, of the Manava
Vedic school); to which are added that of TBjftavalkTa, and
many others.
Respecting the chronology of this development, or the
date of any class of writings, still more of any individual
work, the less that is said the better. All dates given in
Indian literary history are pins set up to be bowled down
again. Every important work lias undergone so many more
or less transforming changes before reaching the form in
which it comes to us, that the question of original con-
struction is complicated with that of final redaction. It is
so with the law-book of Manu, just mentioned, which has
well-founded claims to being r^arded as one of the very
oldest works of the proper Sanskrit literature, if not the
oldest (it has been variously assigned, to periods from six -
centuries before Christ to four after Christ). It is so, again,
in a still mote striking degree, with the great legendary

epio of the MahftbliKrata. The giound-woik of this is .
doubtless of very early date; but it has served as a text
iato which matetials of vaiious character and period have
been inwoven, until it has become a heterogeneous mass,
a kind of cyclopedia for the warriot-caste, hard to separate
into its constituent parts. The story of Nala, and the phil-
osophical poem Bhsgavad-QIta, are two of the most noted
of its episodes. The BOmSyapa, the other most famous epic,
is a work of another kind; though also worked over and
more oi less altered in its transmission to oui time, it is
the production, in the main, of a single author (Valmikij;
and it is generally believed to be in part allegorical, le-
presentiog the introduction of Aryan culture and dominion
into Southern India. By its Bide stand a number of minor
epics, of various authorship and period, as the BaghuvaA^a
(ascribed to the dramatist Kalidasa], the Mfigliak&vya, the
BhattikSvya (the last, written chiefly with the g:rammatical
intent of illustrating by use as many as possible of the
numerous formations which, though taught by the gram-
marians, find no place in the literature)-
The Purft^as, a large class of works mostly of immense
extent, ate best mentioned in connection with the epics.
They are pseudo-historical and prophetic in character, of
modem flate, and of inferior value. Real history finds no
place in Sanskrit literature, nor is there any conscious
historical element in any of the works composing it.
Lyric poetry is represented by many works, some of
which, as the Ueghadata and Oltogovinda, are of no mean
order of merit.
The drama is a still more noteworthy and important
branch. The first indications of dramatical inclination and
capacity on the part of the Hindus are seen in certain
hymns of the Veda, where a mythological or legendary
situation is conceived dramatically, and set forth in the
form of a dialogue — well-known examples are the dialogue
of Sarama and the Fanis, that of Yama and his sister Yami,
that of Yasishtfaa and the rivers, that of Agni and the other
gods — but there are no extant intermediaries between these

and the Btandaid diama. The begioDuigB of the latter date
&oni a period when in actual life the higher and educated
characters used Sanskrit, and the lower and uneducated need
the popular dialects derived from it, the Prakrits ; and their
dialogue reflects this condition of things. Then, hotrevei
learning (not to call it pedantry) intervened, and stereotyped
the new element; a Prakrit grammar grew up beside the
Sanskrit grammar, according to the rules of which Prakrit
could be made indefinitely on a substrate of Sanskrit; and
none of the existing dramas need to date fiom the time of
Temacular use of Prakrit, while most or all of them are
undoubtedly much later. Among the dramatic authors,
Kalidisa is incomparably the chief, and his ^akuutalft is
distinctly his masterpiece. His date has been a matter of
much inquiry and controversy; it is doubtless some cen-
turies later than our era. The only other work deserving
to be mentioned along with Kalidasa's is the Hroohakatikft of
^udraka, also of questionable period, but believed to be
the oldest of the extant dramas.
A partly dramatic character belongs also to the iable,
in which animals ate represented as acting and speaking.
The most noted works in this department are the PaSLoa-
tantra, which through Persian and Semitic versions has made
its way all over the world, and contributes a considerable
quota to the fable-literature of every European language,
and, partly founded on it, the comparatively recent and
popular Hitopade9a [salutary imtmction).
Two of the leading departments of Sanskrit scientific
literature, the 1^^ and the grammatical, have been already
sufficiently noticed; of those remaining, the most important
by far is the philosophical. The beginnings of philosophic-
al speculation are seen already in some of the later hymns
of the Veda, more abundantly in the Brahmai^aa and Aran-
yakas, and then especially in the Upanishads. The evo-
lution and historic relation of the systems of philosophy,
and the age of their text-books, are matters on which much
obscurity still rests. There are six systems of primary rank,
and reckoned as orthodox, although really standi n^ in no

accoidanoe with approved teligious doctrines. All of them
seek the same end, the emancipation of the soul £rom the
necessity of continuing its existence in a succession of
bodies, and its unification with the All-soul; but they
differ in i^^d to the means by which they seek to attain
this end.
The astronomical science of the Hindus is a reflection
of that of Greece, and its literature is of recent date; but
as mathematicians, in arithmetic and geometry, they have
shown more independence. Theii medical science, although
its b^nnings go back even .to the Veda, in the use of
medicinal plants with accompanying incantations, is of little
account, and its proper literature by no means ancient.

CHAPTEK I.
1. Tub natives of India write theii ancient and sacied
language in a variety of alphabets — generally, in each
part of the country, in the same alphabet which they use
for their own vernacular. The mode of writing, however,
which is employed throughout the heart of Aryan India, or
in Hindustan proper, is alone adopted by European scholars :
it is called the devanftgarl.
A, This name ti of donbtTnl oitgin and value. A more compiehenslve
name l» nfigan (perhaps, of the city'); and deva-n^ari U nagorl of
iAt godi, or of th* Brahmant.
S. Hueh that relatai to the hiitoty of the ladlin alphabete ii still
obKOTO. The earliest written monDineiits of known date In tbe conntrf are
the inaoriptiona containing tbe edlatg of A9oka or Piyadaal, of about the
middle of tbe third century B. G. They are In two dllTeient syitems of
cbanclerfi, of which one ihowa diatinet eigue of dedTition from a Semitic
tonrce, vhile the other ia alao probably, though mntb leaa evldentlr, of the
same origin. From the latter, the Lath, or Sonthsm A^oka character (of
Oiraai), come the later Inilian alphabets, both those of the northern Aryan
lanfoages and thoie at the sonthem Draridian langoagea. The nftgon,
devanAeart, Bengali, Quzeriti, and others, are farieties of Its northern
deriretiTes; and with them are related some of the alphabets of peoples
outside of India — as In TilMt and Farther India — who have adopted Bindn
enltare or religion,
a. There Is reason ia believe that writing was first employed in India
for pra^lical parpoees — for correspoodeiice aad buslneaa and the like —
and only hy degrees came to be applied also to literary ase. The Itteratore,
to a great extent, and the more fully in proportion to its claimed sanctity
and authority, ignores all written record, and usomes to he kept In eiistence
by oral tradition alone.

them or only very rarely and exceptionally written, will be notlceil
lielow |T1 b, a, 930). Such are the guttural and labial breatbinga, the
nasal gemivowols, and others.
7. The order of aiTangement given above is that in
which the sounds are catal<^iied and described by the native
grammarians; and it has been adopted by European scholars
as the alphabetic order, for indexes, dictionaries, etc.: to the
Hindus, the idea of an alphabetic arrangement for such
practical uses is wanting.

6. The theory of the devanSgivrl, as of the other Indian
modes of writing, is syllabic and consonantal. That is
to say, it regards as the written unit, not the simple sound,
but the syllable (ak^ra); and further, as the substantial
part of the syllable, the consonant or the consonants which
precede the vowel — this latter being merely implied, or,
if written, being written by a subordinate sign attached to
the consonant.
9. Hence follow these two principles:
A. The forms of the vowel-characters given in the
alphabetical scheme above ate used only when the vowel
j,i,....,LiOOglc
9—] I. Alphabet. 4
forms a syllable by itself, oi ia not combined with a pieceding
cODBoiiaat: that is, when it is either initial or preceded by
another vowel. In combination with a consonant, other modes
of representation are used.
B. If mote consonants than one precede the vowel,
forming with it a single syllable, their chaiacteis must be
combined into a single compound character.
a. NntWe Sinda usftge, id mftonBcriptH and iQSoriptions, treats
ihe whole materinl of a sentence alike, not separating its words from
one another, any more than the aylUblee of the same word: a final
consonant is combined into one written syllable with the initial vowel
or consonant or consonants of the following word. It never occnned
to the Hindus to space their words io any way, even whero the mode
of writing admitted such treatment; nor to begin a paragraph on a
new line; nor to write one line of verse under another: everything,
without exception, is written solid by them, filling the whole page.
b. Thus, the sentence and verge-line ahaifa rudrebhlr vamibliiQ
carSmy aham ftdltyftlr uta vigvadev&i^ (Big-Veda X. 115. 1: see
Appendix B) 1 icander loith the Vtuut, the Rudraa, I with the Aditya*
and the AU-Oode is thus syllabized; a hadi ru dre bhl rva Bubhi
90a rS mya ha m& di ty6i rn ta vi Qva de vfti^, each syllable end-
ing with a vowel (or a vowel modilicd by the nasal-sign amtavftra,
or having the sign of a final breathing, viearga, added: these being
the only elements that can follow a vowel in the same syllable); and
it is (together with the next line) written In the manuscripts after this
fashion:
£ach syllable is written separately, and by many scribes the
successive syllables are parted a little from one another: thus,
and flo on.
o. In Wiiatern practice, however, it is almost universally customary
to divide paragraphs, to make the lines of verae follow one another,
and also to separate the words so far as this can be done without
changing the mode of writing them See Appendix B, where the verse
here given is so treated,
A. Further, in works prepared fo\ beginners in the language, it
is not uncommon to maku a more complete separation of words by a

10. Under A, it is to be noticed that the modes of
indicating a Towei combined with a preceding consonant
are as follows:
a. The short Q a has no written sign at all; the con-
sonant-sign itself implies a following Q a, unless some other
vowel-sign is attached to it [or else the Tirftma: 11). Thus,
the consonant-signs as given above in the alphabetic scheme
are leally the signs of the syllables ka, kha, etc. etc. (to lia).
b. The long ^ ft is written by a peipendiculai stroke
after tbe consonant: thus, ^ kS, Kl dJi&, ^ hft.
c. Short ^ i and long ^ I are written by a similar stroke,
which for short i is placed before the consonant aud for
long I is placed after it, and in either case is connected with
the consonant by a hook above the upper line : thus, Hi kl,
^ kl; ^ bhi, >f^ bbl; ^ nl, r) nl.
Tbe book above, turning to tlie left or to the tight, ie biatorlcally the
euentiU part of the cbuscter, h>Tliig been otlglDsUy the whole of it; the
hoolu were only later prolongad, lO u to leuh all the way down beside
the conBonsnt. Id tbe USS,, Ehey almost never bare the horizontal stroke
drawn across them ibove, though thij ii added in the prloled characters;
thus, originally *% ki, ^ M; in the MSS., 1%, ^ ; in print, fe, ^,
d. The u-Bounds, short and long, are written by hooks
attached to the lower end of the consonant-sign: thus, ^
kn, ^ kll ; ? ^m, 7 4IL On account of the necessities of
combiBatioQ, du and dll are somewhat disguised: thus, Xi
g^; and the forms with ^ r and ^ k are still more irregular:
thus, "^ ru, 5 rfl; ^ hu, "^ kO.

e. The f-voweU, short and long, are written by a aub-
joined hook, single oi double, openiag toward the right:
thus, ^ kr, ^ ^i ? dfi ^ <^' In ttie b-fiign, the hooks
aie usually attached to the middle: thus, ^ hf, ^ hf ,
Ai to the cambliitllDii ot f irltti preceding r, see below, 14 d.
f. The }-Towel is written with a reduced form of its
full initial character: thus, ^il; the coTiespondiog long has
no real occurrence (23 &), but would be written with a similar
reduced sign.
g. The diphthongs are written by strokes, single or
double, above the upper line, combined, for ^ o and ^ Su,
with the K-sign after the consonant: thus, % ke, % k&i;
^ ko, ^ kSu.
b. In lome deTanOgan mannsciipts (bb in (lie Bengill tlphibet), iha
Biiigle Bitoke abov«, or one of the double ones, It repUced bj i sigu like the
a-(jgn befote Iha conioiunt: thus, (^ fc«, Ri kU; |^ ko, (^ kAo.
11. A consonant-sign, howevei, is capable of being made
to signify the consonant-sound alone, without an added vowel,
by having written beneath it a stroke called the vir&ma
[rest, atopy, thus, ^ k. ^ d, ^ h.
0. Since, u wai poiuted out ibove, the Uindiu write the words ot a
sentence continnonsly like cue woid (Sa, 1>), the vlr&ma ii in geuenl uiled
foi only when ■ Biul consonant occora before a pause. But It ia alio oc-

^Ilft; liijbhl^ %^ lijau, Sl^fq afik?va;
and It Ib used to make a aeparation of words in texts prepared far begin-
«eri (Bd).
12. Under B, it is to be noticed that the consonant
combinations are for the most part not at all difficult to
make or to recognise for one who is familiar with the
simple signs. The characteristic part of a consouant-sign
that is to be added to another is taken (to the exclusion of
the horizontal or of the perpendicular framing-line, or of
both), and they are put t<^ethet according to convenience,

either side by side, or one above the othet; ia a few oom-
biaations either atrangemect ia allowed. The consonant that
is to be pronounced first is set before the other in the one
order, and above it in the other order.
a. Examples of the side-by-side anangement are: nr gga,
^ jja, nf pya, nr nma, f^ ttlia, y^ bbys, 7°fi ska, ^ q^a,
r^ tka.
b. Examples of the abov&-and-below anangement are:
^ kka, BT kva, '^ coa, ^ iija, ^ dda, H pta, ^ tna,
W tva.
13. In some cases, however, there is more or less ab-
breviation or disguise of the independent form of a con-
sonant-sign in combination. Thus,
a. Of aR k in ^ kta, ^ kla; and in ofTS ki^a etc.
b. Of ?T t in fT tta;
o. Of ^ d in ?; dga, T daa, etc.;
d. Of If m and 7 7, when following other consonants:
thus, ^ kya, Wf kma, ^ fima, ^ Oya, ^ dma, t^ dya,
^ hma, ^ hya, ^ ohya, ^ <lii;a.
e. Of EFT 9, which generally becomes 7T when followed
by a consonant: thus, ^ Qoa, ff ^na, ? ^va, S7T 9ya. The
same change is usual when a vowel-sign is added below;
thus, 5 9U, !>[ 9F,
f. Other combinations, of not quite obvious value, are
^ wa, ^ Ua, ^ ddba, ? dbha, '? ^fa, "^ 9tiia; and the
compounds of ^ b: as ^ h^a, ^ hna.
g. In a case or two, no trace of the constituent letters
is recognisable: thus, ^ k^, ^ jfia.
14. The semivowel ^ r, in making combinations with
other consonants, is treated in a wholly peculiar manner,
analogous with that in which the vowels are treated.
a. If pronounced before another consonant or combination
of consonants, it is written above the latter, with a hook
j,i,....,LiOOglC
14—] L Alfbabbt. 8
opening to the n^t (mnch like the ngn of the rowel j,
as writtea under a eonsoiunt: lOej: thus, ^ rka, ^ rya,
3 rtva, T^ pmya, rR rt«n^
b. Then, if a consonanlrgioup thus containing r as
first member is followed by a vowel that has its sign, or a
part of its sign, or its sign of nasality lanusrtca: 70, 71),
written above the line, the r-sign ia placed furthest to the
right: thus, ifi rke, $ rka^ ^ rki, ^iki, ^ rko, S^rfelA,
■^ rkofi.
o. If r is pronounced after another consonant, whether
before a vowel or before yet another consonant, it is written
with a straight stroke below, slanting to the left: thus,
TT pra, H dhza, H gra, S ara, -f ddhfa, ^T ntra, XZ( grya,
R srva, ^ ntrya; and, with modifications of a preceding
cODSouant-sign like those noted above (13], If tra, ^ dra,
'm ijTtk, ^ bra.
d. When ^ r is to be combined with a following ^ f,
it is the vowel which is written in full, with its initial
character, and the consonant in subordination to it: thus,
16. Further oombinationa, of three, or four, or even
five oonsonant-signs, are made according to the same rules.
Examples are:
of three consonants, W ^tva, 3T ddhya, &] dvya, ^
drya, ^ dhrya, c^ psva, ^ 9oya, ^ 9th;a, fIT hvya;
of four consonants, ^ ktrya, ^ fik^ya, ^ 9trya,

16. a. A sign called the avagraha [separator] — namely
>r — is occasionally used in the manuscripts, sometimes in
the manner of a hyphen, sometimes as a mark of hiatus,
sometimes to mark the elision of initial ^ a aftei final ^ e
OT ^ o (136). In piittted texts, especially European, it is
ordinarily applied to the use last mentioned, and to that
alone: thus, ^ >I5R^ te 'bruvan, W -I^RtrT ao 'bravlt, for t©
abravan, so abravlt.
b. If the elided initial-vowel is nasal, and has the anu-
av&ra-flign (70, 71) written above, this is usually and mote
properly transferred to the eliding vowel; but sometimes it
is written instead over the avagraha-sign : thus, for bo 'b^umKn,
&om so aJi9umSn, either W 'IJ'IRH or Ht 'ImHH
0. The sign ° is used in place of something that is
omitted, and to be understood from the connection: thus,
cjh^^ft^ o^ d^ vlrasenaantaa -tarn -tena.
d. Signs of punctuation are I and ii.
At the eod of a verse, a paragraph, or the like, the Utter of
them is ordinarily written twice, with the figure of eoiinieratioD
between: thus, il 1^0 |i.
17. The numeral figures are
^ 1. ^ '^ 5 3. 6 <. H 6, ^8, ti 7, US, 5 fl, 0 0.
In combination, to express larger numbers, they are
used in precisely the same way as European digits: thus,
5_»t 26, ^0 630, bOOO 7000, ^TT^ 1896.
IB. The Hlndn grammarlana call the different sonndH, and the
characters representing them, by a k&ra Ifttaktr) added to the sound
of the letter, if a vowel, or to the letter followed by a, if a consonant.
Thus, the sonnd or character a is called akSra; k is kak&ra; and
80 on. But the kfira is also omitted, and a, ka, etc. aro used alone.
The T, however, is not called rakSra, but only ra, or repba marl:
the sole example of a speoific name for an alphabetic element of its
class. The anasvXra and viearga are also known by these names alone.

I. Vowels.
19. The a, 1, and u-vowels. The Sanskrit has these
thiee eailiest and most universal Towele of Indo-Eutopean
language, in both short and long foim — Q a and 5T 5,
^ i and ^ I, 3 ti and ^ U. They aie to be pronounced in
the "Continental" or 'Italian" manner — as in far oi farther,
pin and pique, pull and rule.
30. The a is the openeBt vowel, ao utterance from the expanded
throat, stands in do relation of kindred with anj' of the classes of
coDHonaotal soniidB, and has no correap ending semivowel. Of the
close vowels 1 and u, on the other hand, 1 is palatal, and shades
through its semivowel y into the palalal and gnttnral consonant-
clusses; u is similarly related, throngh ils semivowel v, to the labial
class, as involving in its utterance a narrowing and rouoding of
the lips.
a. the Panine&n soheme (commehury to Piii)liii'B grsmmu i. 1. 9)

with k etc, AU tbeee anthoritleB dticni In Mlling the 1- and a-vowels
reipeetlTely palatal and labial.
SI. The short a is not pronounced in India with the full openness
of &, as its corresponding short, but usually as the "nentral vowel"
[English so-called "abort u", of hut, son, blood, etc.). This peculiarity
appears very early, being acknowledged by Paijini and by two of the
Pratieakhyas iAPr. i. 36; VPr. 1. 72), which call the utterance Bariivpta,
covered up, dimmed. It is wont to be ignored by Western BCholars,
except those who have stadied in India.
32. The a-vowelsare the prevailing vowel-sounds of the language,
being about twice as frequent as all the others (includiug diphthongs]
taken together. The 1-vowela, again, ate about twice as Quoierous
as the a-vowels. And, in each pair, the short vowel la more than
livice PVa to 3 times) as common as the long.

28, The T- and l-vowels. To the three simple vowels
already meotioDed the SaaslcTit adds two otheis, the r-vowel
and the l-vowel, plainly generated by the abbreviation of
ayllablee containing respectively ^ ^ ^ °' vl ^ along with
another vowe): the ^ r coming almost always (see 237, 241-3]
&om W^ ar or ^ ra, the rT I from lEFT al.

but this ta only for Ihe aake of an ittlflclal eymmetry, niace the aoond doet
not occur to a single genuine word In the Imgnage.
24. The rowel ^ r is simply a smooth or untrilled
r-sound, assuming a vocalic office in ayllable-making — as,
by a like abbreviation, it has done also in certain Slavonic
languages. The vowel ^ I is aa /-sound similarly uttered
— like the English ^vowel in such words as able, angle,
addle.
a. The modern Hindus prononoce these vowels as n', ri, li [or
even In), having long lost the iiabit and the facility of giving a vowel
value to the pure r- and I-sounds. Their example is widely followed
by European scholars; and hence alao the (distottiDg and altogether
objectionable) ttansliterationa pi, fl, li. There is no real difficulty in
tbe way of acquiring and practising the true utterauce.
b. Some of the gtammirians (see APt. i. 37, note} attempt to deflne mOTe
nearly the way In which, in these vowels, a real r- oi ^element ta combined
with something el«e.
26. Like their corresponding semiTowela, r and I, these vowels
belong respectively to the geneinl lingual and dental clasaes; the
euphonic inflaeace of j and f [1B8| shows this clearly. They are
BO ranked in the Paninean soheme ; but the Pr&ti^akbyas in general
strangely class them with the Jibvlmallra sounds, out "gutturals" (38).
29. The short \ is found in evety variety of word and of position,
and is not rare, being just about as frequent as longfL Long f is very
much more unusual, occurring only in certain plural cases of nouu-
steras in f (371b, d. 876). The \ is met with only in some of the
forma and derivatives of a single not very common verbal root (k)p).
27. The diphthongs. Of the four diphthongs, two,
the V e and W o, are in great pait original Indo-European

Bounds. In the Sanskrit, they vrear the aspect of being
products of the increment oi strengthening of ^ i and 7 u
respectively; and they are called the corresponding gxt^a-
vowels to the latter (see below, 236 ff.). The other two, ^ U
and w Su, are held to be of peculiar Sanskrit growth; they
are also in general results of another and higher increment
of ^ i and 3 n, to which they are called the corresponding
TfrddM-TOwels (below, 2S5S.]. But all are likewise some-
times generated by euphonic combination (127); and ^ o,
especially, is common as result of the alteration of a final
qff as (17B).
28. The ^ e and ^ o are, both in India and in Europe,
usually pronounced as they are transliterated — that is, as
long e- (English "long a", or e in tJici/) and o-sounds, without
diphthongal character.
a. Such they appsreotly already were to the aathurs of the
Praticakhjas, which, while tanking them as diphthongs (soifadlijak^ant),
give rules reBpecting their pronunciation in a manner implying them
to be TiTtually unitary sounds. But their euphonic treatmeat (131-4)
clearly shows them to have been still at the period when the euphonic
laws established themselveB, as they of course . were at their origin,
real diphthongs, ai [a + ■) and au [a + u). From them, on the same
evidence, the heavier or vfddbi dlphthongB were dlBtiagnished by the
length of their n-element, as at {a + ■') and au (a + u).

26. The lighter or gu^-diphthonge are much more frequent
(6 or T timee] than the heavier or v^ddU-diphthongB, and the e and
ftl than the o and ftu (a half more]. Both pairs arc somewhat more
than half as common as the simple t- and u-vowels,

II. Consonants.
SI. The Hiodu name for 'coDsonant' is vralkjuia numi/ttttr.
Tbe consonants are divided by the grammariana into Bparqa eontaet
or mnte, anta^thft, xntermediale or aemivowel, and ^mon spirant.
Thej will here be taken np and described jo tbia order.
83. Hntes. The mntea, sparQa, are so called aa involving a
complete closure or contact (sparfn), and not an approiimatioa only,
of the month-organs by which thoy are prodnced. They are divided
into five chases or series (varga), according to the organs and parts
of organs by which the contact is made; aod each series is composed
of live members, differing according to the sccompanimenis of the
contact.
33. The five mute-setiea are called respectively guttural,
palatal, lingual (or cerebral), dental, and labial; and they
are arranged in the order as just mentioned, beginning with
the contact made furthest back in the mouth, coming for-
ward itom point to point, and ending with the fiontmost
contact.
34. In each series there are two eurd members, two
sonant, and one nasal [which is also sonant) : for example,
in the labial series, ^ p and m ph, ^ b and ^ bh, and ^ m.
a. The meruberi are by the Hindu giammturtins called Tespectiiely^^rri,
leeond, third, fourth, and last oi Jifth.
b. The surd consonanU aie known aa oghoqa tonelat, and the aonanta
aa gtao^vant kaving tone; and the dedcrLptlons of the grammarlana ate In

86. The first and third members of each series are the
ordinary corresponding surd and sonant mutes of European
languages: thus, m k and TJ g, rT t and ^ d, ti p and ? b.
se. Nor is the character of the nasal any more doubtful.
What I? m is to TT P, and ^ b, or =1 n to rT t and 5" "^i that
is also each other na«al to its own series of mutes : a sonant
expulsion into and through the nose, while the mouth-
organs are in the mute-contact.

and upon it the opinions of the highest authorities are much at yirianee.
Sonant aipititrs are still in use in India, in the pronnnciation of the Terniculir
as well as of the leimed languages.

with a following h: for example, EI th nearly as in English
boathook, ^ ph as in haphazard, tT dh as in madhouse, ^ bh
as in abhor, and so on. This is (as we have seen above)
strictly accurate only as regards the auid aspirates.
38. The BUDHDt aspirates nre {in the opiaion of most), or at least
represent, origioal Indo-European sounds, while the surd aspirates
are a special Indian devolopmeut. The former are more thau twice
as common as the latter. The unaspirated (non-nasal) mutes are very
much more frequent [5 times) than the aspirates (for the special fre-
quency of bb and original gb, see 60 and 66j; and among them the
surds are more nnmorons (2Vj timesl than the sonants. The nasals
(chiefly n and m) are nearly as fiequeut as the suid non-aspirates.
We take up now the several mute-seriee.
39. Guttural eeties: SR k, J^^kb, Hg, q^gh, l!^ n.
These are the ordinary European /: and ^-sounds, with theii
corresponding aspirates and nasal (the last, like English nff
in singing).

inllnence n( a k on a rollowin; b (bebw, 180), »>? may perhaps infor that
In theii ultcranre the tongoe was well drawn back lo the mouth.
40. The k is by far tho commonest of the gnttnral series occurring
oonsiderably more often than all the otlier four taken together. The
nasal, except as standing before ono of the others of the same series,
is found only as final (after the loss of a foDowiug k: 386, 407) in
a very small number of words, and as product of the assimilation of
final k to a following nasal (161).
41. The Sanskrit guttural series represents only a minority of
Indo-European gutturals; these last have suffered more and more general
corruption than any other class of consonants. By processeB of alteration
which began in the Indo-European period, the palatal mutes, the
palatal sibilant f, and the aspiration b, have come from gntturals.
See these various sounds helow.
42. Palatal series; ^c, ^ oh, sT j, iK jb, 31 fl.
The whole palatal series is derivative, being generated by the
cormptiou of original guttntals. Tho o comes from an original k —
as does also, by another degree of alteration, the palatal sibilant f
(see below, 64), The J, in like m.inuer, couies from a g; but the

Suskrlt j InclndOB in Itself two degrees of altentioD, one eorrespond-
iBg to the ftlteration of k to c, the other to that of k to q {see below,
SIB). The o ii eomowhat mote common than the j (aboat as four
to three). The aspirate ob is yery mach less freqaent (a tenth of oj,
and comes from the original gronp ek. The sonant aspirate jb is
exceisivelj rare (occnrring bnt once in RV., not once in AV., and
hardly balf-a-doaen times in the whole older language); where fouad,
it is either onomatopoetic or of aoomalons or not Indo-Enropean origin.
The nasal, fi, never occurs except immediately before — or, in a
small namber of words, also after (SOlj — one of the others of the
same series.
43. Hence, Id the euphonic processes of the language, the
treatment of the palatals is in many respects peculiar. In some
situations, the orfginal unaltered guttural shows itself — or, aa
it appears from the point of view of the Sanskrit, the palatal reverts

differently treated, according as it represents the one or the other

SanskritieU, no attempt is made to distinguish them from
the dentals: 7 t is pionounced like FT t, 3 <} like ^ d, and
so with the rest.
46. The lingoale are another non-origin&l series of BonndB,
coming mainly from the phoaetio alteratioa of the next Berlea, the
dentals, but also in part occurring in words that have no traceable
lodo-Enropean coDDection, and are perhaps derived from the ab-
original languages of India. The tendency to lingnalization Is a
poBitive one in the history of the language: dentals easily pass into
liaguals under the Influence of contiguous or neigbbonring lingual
sounds, but not the contrary i and all the sounds of the class become
markedly more frequent in the later literature. The conditions of
their ordinary occurrence are briefly these: 1. q comes from a, much
more rarely ftom q, J, bf, in euphonic circumstances stated below
(ISO, 318ff.)i 2. a dental mute following ^ is assimilated to it,
becoming lingual (t, \b, 9; 187); 3. n la oftea changed to 9 after a
lingual vowel or semivowel or sibilant in the same word (lB9ff.);
4. ^, which is of very rare occurrence, comes from assimilation of
a dental after q {108 a) or h (233]-, 5. \ and 4 come occasionally
by substitution for some other sound which is not allowed to stand
as final (14S, 14B-7). When originated in these ways, the lingual
letters may be regarded as normal; in any other eases of their
occurrence, they are either products of abnormal corruption, or signs
of the noa-Indo-European character of the words in which they

even as the palatals.

intermediate between vowel and coneonanl, or (more probably) from the
clKumBtance of their being placed between tbe mutes sad aplrants in tbe
arrangement of the consonants.
b. The semivowels are clearly akin with the several mute aeries
in their physical character, and they are olaaslfied along with those

grammarians. They are said to be produced with tbe organa slightly
in contact (i^atapi^t^), or in imperfect contact (duhap^^faj.

euphonic processes of the language to be a lingual sound,

Be. The 7 is by it* phyaiol character a palatal ntterance; and
It IB classed as a palatal aemivowel by the Hindu phonetiate. It is
one of the most common of Sanskrit sounds.
67. The ^ T is pronounced as English or French v
(Geiman vj) hy the modem Hindus — except when preceded
by a consonant in the same syllable, in which case it has
rather the sound of English w; and European scholars follow
the same practice (with or without the same exception).
a. By its whole treatment in the eaphony of the language, however,
the V stands related to an u-towoI precisely as y to an t-vowel. It
is, then, a v only according to the original Roman value of that
letter — that is to say, a ic-sonnd in the Eaglish sense; though (as
was stated above for the y) it may well bavo been less markedly
separated from u than English w, or more like French oh in out etc.
Bnt, as the original w has in most European languages been changed
to u (English), so also in India, and that from a very early time: the
Panioean scheme and two of the Fr&titikhyss (VPr. and TPr.) distinctly
define the sound as made between the upper teeth and the lower
lip — which, of course, identifies it with ihe ordinary modem v-sonnd.
As a matter of practice, the nsnal pronnuciation need not be seriously
objected to; yet the student shoald not fail to note that the rules of
Sanskrit enphooy and the name of "semivowel" have no implication

there is no ground for real question: it is the one produced
in the lingual position, or with the tip of the tongue
reverted into the dome of the palate. It is, then, a kind of
s^-sound; and by European Sanskritists it is pronounced
as an ordinary sh (French ch, German sch), no attempt
being made (any more than in the oase of the other Ungual
sounds: 45} to give it its proper lingual quality.
a. Its lingaal character ia ehowa by ita whole euphonic Influence,
and it is described and classed as lingual by all the Hindn anthor-
iHea (the AFr. adds, i. 33, that the tongue in its utterance is trougb-
Bhaped). to its audible quality, it ia a »A-sound rather than B«-Boand;
and, in the considerable variety of sibilant-utterance, even in the
same community, it may coincide with the jA of some among
onrselvea. Yet the general and normal «A is palatal (see below, 63] ;
and threrefore the sign ^, marked in accordance with the other lin-
gual letters, is the only unexceptionable transliteration for the Hindu

63. The ^ 9. This sibilant is by all the native authoiities
classed and described as palatal, nor is there anything in
its histoiy or its euphonic tteatment to cast doubt oa its
character as such. It is, then, made irith the flat of the
tongve against the forward part of the palatal arch — that
is to say, it is the usual and normal sA-sound. By European
scholars it is variously pronounced — more often, perhaps,
as s than as «A.

□ear relationship of 9 and q Ib attested by their enphonic treatment, which
1b to a conaiderable extent the same, and by their not infrequent oonfUsion
by the wTlteie of mannscripti.
64. As was mentioned above (41), the 9, lilce o, comes from the
corruption of an original A-sonnd, by lose of mute-contact u well as
forward shift of the point of production. Id virtue of this derivation,
it sometimes (though less often than o) "reverts" to k— that is, the
original k appears instead of it (43),' while, on the other band, aa a
«A-aoQnd, it Is to a certain extent convertible to 9. In point of frequency,
it slightly exceeds the latter.
66. The remaining spirant, ^ h, is ordinarily pronounced
like the usual European sutd aspiration h.
a. This ia not, however, its real character. It is deflned by all the native
anthoiities at not a auid element, but a sonant (or elae an ntterance Inter-
mediate between the two); and Its whole value In the enphony of the language

h after a Bnal mute (168).

cornea in nearly all cases from an older gh (for the few iostanoes of
its deriTatlon from dh and bh, aee belov, 2S3s). It Is a vastly
more frequent Boand than the unchanged gh (namely, as 7 to 1): more
frequent, indeed, than any of the guttural mutee except k. It appears,
like J !S19), to inclnde in itself two stages of corruption of gb: one
coTrespondlng with tbat of k to o, the other with that of k to ;;
see below, 233, for the roots belonging to the two classes respectively.
Like the other sounds of gnttural derivation, it sonetimos exhibits
"reversion" (48) to its original.
67. The : It, or viflarga (visarjRDlya, as it is unifoimly
called by the Prati^akhyas and by Pacini, probably as belong-
ing to the end of a syllable), appears to be merely a surd
breathing, a final A-sound (in the Eutopean sense of h),

60, Before a Burd guttaral or labial, reapectively, aome of the
native authorities permit, while others require, conversion of final s
or r into the so-called JlhvSmlUIya and upadbmAniya spirants. It
may be fairly questioned, perhaps, whether these two sounds are not
pure grammatical abstractions, devised (like the long {-vowel: 33a)
in order to ronnd out the alphabet to greater symiuetry. At any
rate, both manuscripts and printed texts in general make no account
of them. Whatever Individual character they may have must be,

b. The Atbaira-Priti^aUiya holda that the result is everywhere a

inflaenee of an 1 ot u-vovel on a following a ooght to be prevented, which
is not the case: Bee 1B3).
7S. The asBimilated nasal element, whether viewed as nasalized
Towel, naBal Bemivowel, or independent aniuiTjtTa, has the value of
eometbing added, in making a heav^ syllable, or length by poeilioD (70).

to make a long syllable.
73. a. Two different HlgtiB, i and r, are found in the mannscriptB,
indicatiDg the nasal sound heie treated of. Usually they are written
above the syllable, and there they seem most naturally to imply a
D&sal affection of the vowel of the syllable, a nasal (anunaalka) vowel.
Hence some texts (Sama- and Tajur-Vedas], when they mean a real
aniuv&ra, bring oao of the signs down into the ordinary consonant-
place; but the usage is not general. As between the two signs,
some mannscriptB employ, or tend to employ, the Z where a nasaliied
(annnaslkal vowel is to be recognized, and elsewhere the -; and this
distinction Is consistently observed in many European printed texts;
and the former is called the anunoalka sign: bat the two are doubt-
less originally and properly equivalent.
b. It is a very common custom of tbe mannscriptB to write the
oaTiBvKra-sigD for any nasal following the vowel of a syllable, either
before another consonant or as final (not before a vowel), without
any reference to whether it is to be pronounced as nasal mute, nasal
semivowel, or annavSra. Some printed texts follow this slovenly and
nndesirable babit; bnt most write a nasal mute whenever it Is to bo
pronounced — excepting where it is an assimilated m [S13).

III. Quantify of sounds and syllables.
7d. The Hindu giammarians take the pains to define the
quantity of a consonant (without distinction among consonants
of diffeient classes] as half that of a short vowel.
77. They also define the quantity of a long [dlrglia]
Towel 01 diphthong as twice that of a short (hraava) vowel —
making no distinction in this respect between the gu]^-
and the vrddbi-diphthongs.
7B. Besides these two vowel-qiiantitiee, the Hindus
acknowledge a third, called pluta (Utetally swimminff), or
protracted, and having three moras or three times the quantity
of a short vowel. A protracted vowel is marked by a follow-
ing figure 3: thus, ^ S3.
». Tbe protracted vowels are practically of rare occurrence (in
RV., three oases; in AV., fifteen; in the Brahmana literature, decidedly
more frequent). They are used in cases of qnestioning, especially of
a balancing between two alternatives, and also of calliDg to a distance
or urgeotly. The protraction is of the last syllable in a word, or in
a whole phrase; and the protracted syllable has nsually the acnte tone,
in addition to any other accent the word may have; Bometimcfl it
takes also anuavSra, or is made naeal-

70. For metrical purposes, syllables (not vowels) are
distinguished by the grammarians as heavy (guru) or light
(iBghn). A syllable is heavy if its vowel is long, or short
and followed by more than one consonant ("long by po-
sition"). Anusvftra and vlsar^a count as full consonants in

IV. Accent
80. The phenomena of accent are, by the Hindu gram-
maiians of all ages alike, described and treated as depend-
ing on a variation of tone or pitch; of any difference of
stress involved, they make no account.
81. The primary tones (svaraj or accent-pitches are two:
a higher (ud&tta raised), or acute; and a lower [anadStta
not raised), or grave. A third (called svarita: a term of
doubtful meaning) is always of secondary origin, being (when
not enclitic: see below, 8S] the result of actual combination
of an acute vowel and a following grave vowel into one
syllable. It is also uniformly defined as compound in pitch,
a union of higher and lower tone within the limits of a
single syllable. It is thus identical in physical character
with the Greek and Latin circumflex, and fully entitled to
be called by the same name.
8B. Strictly, therefore, there is but one diatiDClion of tone in the
Sanskrit accootnal syatem, as described by the nntive grammuiaDB
and marked in the written texts: the accented syllable is raised in tone
above the unaccentod; while then further, in certain cases of the
fusion of an accented and an nnaocented element Into one syllable,
that syllable retains the compounded tone of both elements.
88. The svarita or circamflex is only rarely fonnd on a pnre long
vowel or diphthong, but almost always on a syUable in which a vowel,
short or long, is preceded by a ; or v repreaeatiog an originally acate
i- or u-7owel.
a. In transliteration, in this work, the adStta or acute will be
marked with tbe ordinary sign of acute, and the svarita or circumflex
(as being a downward slide of the voice forward) with what is usually
called the gravo accent: thus, &, acute, yk or vh, cironmflex.

85. But further, the Hindu grammariaoB agree in de-
claring the (natuially grave] syllable following an acute,
whether in the same oi in another word, to be svarita or
citoumflex — unless, indeed, it be itself followed by an
acute 01 circumflex; in which case it retains its grave
tone. This is called by European scholars the enclitic or
dependent circumflex.
a. ThDB, in tdna and t6 oa, the syllable na and word oa are
regarded and marked as circumflex; but in t^na ti and td oa aviir
they are grave.

snggeats the theory of a middle or Interniediate tone for the enclitic, any

Identiasd with one another, in treatment and designation. The enclitic

86. The esaential difference of the two kinds ol oircnmflex is
Bhown cle&rlf enough by these fftcts: 1. the iDdepandent circumflex
takes the pl&ce of the acute as the proper accent of a word, while
the enclitio is the mere shadow following an acute, and following it
in another wotd precisely as in the same word; 2. the independent
circumflex mUutainB its character in all eituatione, while the encliUe
before a followiog circumflex oi acute loses its circumflex character,
and becomes grave; moreover, 3. in many of the systems of marking
accent (below, 88), the two are quite differently indicated.
87. The accentuation is marked in manuscripts only of the older
literature: namely, in the primary Vedic texts, or suhhitfts, in two
of the Brahma^as (TMttirlya and ^^tapatha), in the Taittf tlya-Aranyaka,
in certain passages of the Aitareya-Ara^yaka, and in the Suparnadhyaya.
There are a number of methods of writing accent, more or less different
Arom one another: the one found in manuscripts of the Big-Veda,
wbicb is most widely known, and of which most of the others are
only slight modificatious, is as follows. '
a. The acute syllable is left unmarked; the circumflex, whether
independent or encliljc, has a short perpendicular stroke above; and
the grave next preceding an acute or (independent) circumflex has a
short horizontal stroke below, Thus,
gfilH agnlm; sji^Ih Juh6tl; FF5|T tanva; Iji kva.
b. But the Introductory grave stroke below cannot be given if an
acute syllable ia initial; hence an unmarked syllable at the beginning
of a word is to be understood as acute; and hence also, if several
grave syllables precede an acute at the beginning of a sentence, they
most all alike have the grave sign. Thus,
^; Indiah; ^ t«; ^ff'^i^ kari^yiai; r^fcf^lHI tuviJMl
o. All the grave eyliables, however, which follow a marked cir-
cumflex are left unmarked, until the occurrence of another accented
syllable causes the one wbicb precedes it to take the preparatory
stroke below. Thus,
H<^nVitt<^ Hudf flOtasaihdf k ;
but H^^fl'+iH^JJ NlH^audt^lkaBurfidre g&vSm.
d. If an Independent circumflex be followed by au acute (or by
another Independent ciroumflex), a figure 1 is act after the former
ciroumflexed vowel if it be short, or a figure 3 if it be long, and the
signs of accent are applied as in the following examples:
^LHItT! apBv aintAl^ (from apad anti^);
{lUI^H: ifty63 v&ni^ (from ri^6 aT&ni^).

of the syllable and to Its snrroDndlngs. Its origin is obscure; if anything

CHAPTER III.
BOLES OF EUPHONIC COHBINATION.
Introductory.
86. The words in Sanskrit, as in the other languages related
with it, are in great part analysable into roots, suffixes of derivation,
and endings of inflection, these last being added mostly to stems
containing suffixes, but also sometimes directly to roots.
a. Thete ue, of conrge, t ceit&in nnmbcr of tinlnflected words —
indecUntbles, particles ^ &iid iJbo not a few that ire !uc*p<ble of analyels.
09. The Sanskrit, indeed, possesges m exceptionally analyaable
character; its formative process^ are more regular and transparent
than those of any other Indo-European tongue. Hence the prevuling
method of the Hindu native science of grammar, which sets up a
certain body of roots, and prescribes the processes by which these
may be made stems and words, giving the various added elements,
and laying down the rules by which their combination is effected. And
the same general method is, for like reason, tollowed also by European
grammarians.
100. The eaphonic laws, accordingly, which govern the combiuation
of suffix or of ending with root or stem, possess a high practical im-
portance, and require to be laid down in preparation for the topics
of declension and conjugation.
101. Moreover, the formation of compounds, by joining two or
more simple stems, is extremely frequent in Sanskrit; and this kind
of combination has its own peculiar eaphonic rules. And once more,
in the form of the language as handed down to us by its literature,
the words composing a sentence or paragraph are adapted to and
combioed with one another by nearly the same rules which govern
the making of compounds; so that it is tmposaible to take apart and
understand a Sanskrit sentence without knowing those rules. Heuce

and fifty) are limited to the earlier or pre-claaeioal period; some,
again (over a hundred and twenty}, make their first appearance in
the later language.
a. There are In this nnmber roots of very diverae character. Thoae
occurring only later are, at least In great part, preanmably of secondary
origin; and a certain nnmher are even doubtleis artifldal, used onoe or
twice beetose found in the root-Uita of the Ulndn grammarians (103).
Bnt also of the leit, >ome are plainly lecondary, vhtie otheit are ques-
tionable; and not a few are variations or dtrferentiated forms of one another.
Thnt, there are roots ehowliig respectively r and 1, as rabh and labh,
mmo and mine, kfar snd Icfol; roots with and wltbout a atrengthening
naial, as vand and vad, maud and mad; roots in & and In a nasal, as

probably different sides of one root, a« k^f drag and ^j^ plough, vid knoui
and viA ^nd, vx tndo/e and vf choote; and so on. In many such cases
it la doubtful whether we ought to acknowledge two roots or only one; and
no absolute rale ot distinction can be laid down and maintained.
108. The list of roots given by tbe Hindu grammarians contains
aboQt two thousand roots, wltbont inctndlng all those which students of
the language are compelled to recognize. Considerably more than half of
tbls number, then, are nn authenticated by nsa; and although some of

106. Stems as well aa roots hitve their variations of form (311).
The Hindu grammarians nsnallj give the weaker form aa the nonnal
one, and derive the other from It by a fitrengthening change; some
European authorities do the same, while others prefer tbe contrary
method; the choice is of unessential consequence, and may be deter-
miDed in any cue by motives of conveaieoce.

then will t>e taken up the subject of inflectloii, under the two heads
of deelenaloii and conjugation; and an aotount of the elasses of
unimfleeted words will follow.
ft. The formation of conjngational stems [tense and mode-stems;
also participles and infinitive) will be tangbt, as is nanal, in connection
with the processes of co^jngational inflection ; that of nninflected
words, in connection with tbe variong clsBsas of th<Me words. But
the general anhject of derivation, or the formation of declinable stems,
will be Uken op hj itself later (chap. XVII.); and It will be followed
by an account of the formation of compound stems (chap. XVIll.].
108. It is bj no means to be expected of beginners
in the language that they will attempt to mastei the lules
of euphonic combination in a body, befoie going on to leain
the paiadigms of inflection. On the contrary, the leading
paiadigms of declension may best be learned outright,
without attention, or with only a minimum of attention,
to euphonic lule. In taking up conjugation, howevei, it
is practically, as well as theoretically, better to learn the
forms as combinations of stem and ending, with attention
to such laws of combination as apply in the partioalar cases
oonceined. The rules of external combination, governing
the make-up of the sentence out of words, should be
grappled with only when the student is prepared to begin
the reading or the formation of sentences.
Principle* of Euphonic Combtnation.
108. The rules of combination (aadidhi putling together)
are in some respects different, according as they apply —
a. to the internal make-up of a word, by the addition
of derivative and inflectional eadings to roots and stems;
b, to the more external putting together of stems to
make compound stems, and the yet looser and more accidental
collocation of words in the sentence;
o. Hence they are usually divided into rules of internal
combinatioD, and rules of external combination.

110. Id both oUwes of oaae^ howtvn, the genenl prinoipl«B
of combinadon are the same — and likewise, to a great extent, the
specific rules. The diffeieDcea depend in part on the oconrreiioe or
Don-oootmence of certain combinatiODB in the one class or the other;
in part, on the difference of treatment of the same soand as final of
a root or of an ending, the former being more persistent than the
Utter; in part, on the occurrence in external combination of certain
changes which are apparently phonetic but really historical; and, most
freqoent and conspicnotts of all, on the fact that (1B7) vowels and
semivowels and nasals exercise a sonantising influence in external
combination, but not in internal. Hence, to avoid nnnecessair repe-
tition as w^l as the separation of what really belonga together, the
rules for both kinds of combination are given below in counectioQ
with one another.
111. a. Moreover, before case^endlngs beginning with bb and a
(namely, bbyftm, bhis, bhyaa, su), the treatment of the finals of stems
is io general the same as in the combinations of words (pada) with
one another — whence those endings are sometimes called pada-end-
ings, and the cases they form are known as pada-cases.

of a stem is sometimes b«ated in the same manner as that of a word
in composition.

howeTer, they ue indltpeuMble, since the proper form of the voids that
compoM the soDtenee it not to be determined irithont them.
a. The geoenl principles of oombinaUon onderlyiog the euphonic
rales, and determining their olaeslGoation, may be stated as follows:
118. Hiatus. In geneial, hiatus is forbidden; every
syllable except the initial one of a sentence, or of a word
.or phrase not forming part of a lenteaoe, must begin with
a consonant (oi with more than one).
a. For details, and for exoeptioDs, see 12B ff.
b. In the earlier langnage, howerer, hiatos In evsry poiitlon was
abondautlT admitted. This appeals ptalnljr from the mantra*, or metrical
parti of the Teda, where In innnmerable tnstaaess y and v are to be read
aa i end n, and, less often, a long vowel is to be resolved into two vowels,
in order to make good the metre: e. g., TWjr&QSm haa to be read as
vfirl>a^9a-&m, avagvyam as aa-aq-Ti-am, and ao on. In the BAhmsinas,
also, we find trao, avar, dySUs described as dissyllables, VjrSna and
satyam ss trisyllables, rl^auya as of four syllaUes, and the like. See
further ISBe.
114. Deaspiiation. Ad aspirate mute is liable to
lose its aspiration, being allowed to stand unchanged only
before a vowel or semivowel or nasal.
116. Assimilation. The great body of euphonic
changes in Sanskrit, as elsewhere, fells under the general
head of assimilation — which takes place both between
sounds which are ao nearly alike that the difference
between them is too insignificant to be worth preserving,
and between those which are so diverse as to be practically
incompatible.
110. In part, assimilation involves the coDveision of
one sound to another of the same series, without change of
articulating position; in part, it involves a change of position,
or transfer to another series.
117. Of changes within the series, the most frequent sod im-

Towels and naiala alio require the preceding Anal to be sonant. And
g. Before a nasal and 1, the asalmllative procesa la sometimes eanied
further, by the conieralon of a Snal mute to a nasal or 1 reapectlvely.
118. Of ooQTersiona iDvolving a change of artionlate position, the
moet important are those of dental aonnde to lingual, and, leas often,
to palatal. Thna:
a. The dental B and n are very frequently converted to ^ and q. by
the aaaimilating Influence of contiguous or neighbouring llugaal aonnde : the a,
even by aounds — namely, 1- and a-vowela and k — which have themselves
no Ungaal character.
b. A non-nasal dental rante la (with a few exceptions In external
oombinatlon) made lingual when it oomei into collliion with a Ungual aonnd.
0. The dental mutea and aibilant are made palatal by ■ contiguoua
palatal.
Bnt alio:
d. A m [not radical) la assimilated to a following consonant, of
whatever kind.

alteration from more otiginal guttarals (4Sff.), are made peculiar

Uid eompticatod by two circiirastftDces: their reverBion to a galtural
form (or the appesnnce of the unaltered gnttoral iostead of tbom:
48); and the different treatment of J itnd h according aa they represent
one or another degree of alteration — the one tending, like o, mora
to the gattnral rerersion, the other showing, like 9, a more sibilant
and lingual character.
ISO. The lingual sibilant 9, also of derivative character (from
dental a), shows as radical final peculiar and problematic phenomena
of combination.
121. Extensioii and abbreviatioa of conao-
nant-gioups. The native giammarianB allow or require
ceitain exteneions, by duplication or inseitioa, of groups of
consonants. And, on the other hand, abbreyiation of cer-
tain other groups is allowed, and found often practised in
the manuBctipts.
122. Permitted Finals. The permitted occurrence
of consonants at the end of a word is quite narrowly
restricted. In general, only one consonant is allowed after
the last TOwel; and that must be neither the aspiration,
nor a sibilant, nor a semivowel [save rarely FT 1], nor an
aspirate mute, nor a sonant mute if not nasal, noi a palatal.
128. Increment and Decrement. Besides these
more or less regular changes accompanying the combination
of the parts that make up words, there is another class of
a different character, not consisting in the mutual adaptations
of the parts, but in strengthening or weakening changes of
the parts themselves.
184. It Is impossible to carry through a perfectly systematic
arrangement of the detailed rules of euphonic combination, because
the different varieties of euphonic change more or less overlap and
intersect one another. The order observed below will be as follows:
1. Rules of vowel combination, for the avoidance of hiatus.
2. Bules as to permitted finals (since these underlii: the further
treatment of final consonants in external combination).
3. Rules for loss of aspiratloii of an aspirate mute.
4. Rales of surd and sonant assimilation, including those for final
s and r.

Rules of Vowel Combination.
126. The coDGuitenoe of two von els, or of vowel and
diphthong, without interveoiDg consonant, is forbidden by
the euphony of the later or classical language. It is avoided,
according to the circumstances of the case, either by fusion
of the two oonounent sounds into one, by the reduction of
oae of them to a semivowel, or by development of a semi-
vowel between them.

128. As legarda tbe accent of theaa vowel combiuatioiis, It 1b
to be noticed that, 1. u a matter of coarBe, the uoiun of acute with
acute yields acute, and that of grave with grave yields grave; thxt
of otrcomBex with circumflex cannot occur; 3. a circumflex wldi
following acute yields Kcnte, the final grave element of tbe former
being raised to acute pitch; a grave with following acute does the
same, as no upward slide of the voice ou a syllable is acknowledged
in the language; but, 3. when the former of the fused elements ib
acute and the Utter grave, we might expect the resulting syllable
to be in general circumflex, to represent both the original tones.
Pacini tn fact allows this accent in every such case; and in « single
accentuated Brahmana text [^B,], the circumflex is regularly written.
But the language shows, on the whole, an indispositioo to allow the
circumflex to rest on either long vowel or diphthong as its sole btaie,
and the acute element ie suffered to raise the other to its own level
of pilch, making the whole syllable acute. The only exception to
this, in most of the texts, is the combination of i and 1, which be-
comes i: thus, dlvi 'to, from dlvl Ivft; in the T&ittiriya texts alone
snoh a case follows tbe general rule, while d and a, instead, make
&: thus, a&dg&tA from ad-odgStfi.
12&. The i-vowels, the u-TowelB, and W r, before a
dissimilar vowel 01 a diphthoajf, aie regularly converted each
into its ovrn ooriespooding semivowel, TT 7 01 ? v 01 ^ r.

a. But in internal combination the 1 and a-vowels are not seldom
changed instead to I7 and nv — and this especially in monosyllables,
or after two consonants, where otherwise a group of consonants
difficult of pronnnciation would be the result. The oases will be
Dotieed below, in explaining inflected forms.

130. Ab regards the accent — here, as in the preceding cue
(128], the only combination requiring notice Is that of an acute 1' or
u- vovrel with a following grave: the result is circnmflex; and such
cases of circumBex are many times more frequent than any and all
others. Examples are:

Permitted Finals.
186. The sounds allowed to occur as finals in Sanskrit
voids standing by themselves (not in euphonic combination
with something following] aie closely limited, and those
which would etymologically come to occupy such a position
are often variously altered, in geneial accordance with theii
treatment in other circumstances, oi are sometimes omitted

141. Of the non-nasal mutes, only the first in each series,
the non-aspiiate suid, is allowed; the others — sutd aspirate,
and both sonants ~- whenever they would etymologically
occur, are converted into this.
Thus, agnim&t for agnlm&th, auhtt for siihfd, virdt for vlrddh,
trift^p for trlftubh.
a. In a few roots, when their final (sonant aspirate) thus
loses its aspiration, the original sonant aspiration of the
initial reappears: compare ^ h, below, 147.
ThoB, dagh becomes dliak, budh beoomes bbat, and so on.
The toot* exhibiting this change are stated below, 15B.
b. There wae some qaestian among the EUndn grammarians at to
whether the final mute i> to be estimated as of surd or of sonant quality;
but the great weight of authority, and the l&Taiiable practice of the manu-
tcrlpts, fsTor the surd.

142. The palatals, however, foim hete [om often else-
wh6ie) an exception to the rules fot the othei mutes. No
palatal is allowed as final. The ? o teretts (43) to its
original ^ k: thus, m^ Y&k, ^'^^4 aAhomilk. The W oh
(only quotable in the lOOt ^(S praohj becomes Z %■ thus,
m^ prftf. The ^^i either lereits to its original guttuial oi
becomes 7 ti in acootdance with its treatment in other com-
binations {218): thus, ftq^ bhi^Ak, fsqi^virij. The g; Jh
does not occur, but is by the native grammarians declared
convertible to 7 t-
143. Of the nasals, the ^ m and ^ n are extremely
common, especially the former (T{^ m and H s are of all final
consonants the most frequent); the in 9 is allowed, but is
quite rare; 1^ fl is found (remaining after the loss of a fol-
lowing ^ k) in a very small number of words [886 b, 0,
407 a); ^fi never occurs.
a. Bat the final m of s root \s changed to a (compare filfi a,
below) ■ thus, akran from kram, figan, aJagaUf nBanlgan from gam,
&ii&n from nam, ayBn from yam, pr&9&ii ^om qam ; no other cases
are qnotable.
144. Of the semivowels, the ^ 1 alone is an admitted
final, and it is very rare. The 7 ' '^ C*^^ ^^ nearest surd
conespondent, n a: 146) changed as final to visarga. Of
n y and c^ v there is no occurrence.
146. Of the sibilants, none may stand unaltered at the
end of a word. The H b (which of all final consonants
would otherwise be the commonest) is, like ^ r, changed to
a breathing, the vissrga. The V 9 either reverts (48) to its
original ^k, or, in some roots, is changed to 7t {^ accor-
dance with its changes in inflection and derivation: see
below, 218): thus, f^ dlk, but f^ vi\. The ^v is like-
wise changed to r t: thus, ^ Mi pr&v^

147. The aspiration ^ ta is not allowed to maintain
itself, but (like ^J and SJ 9) either reverts to its original
guttural form, appearing aa ^T k, ox is changed to ^ t —
both in accordance with its treatment in inflection: see
below, 222. And, also as in inflection, the original sonant
aspiration of a few roots [given at ISGbj reappears when their
final thus becomes deaspirated. Where the ^ h is tiom
original Udh (223 g], it becomes fT t.
148. The visarga and anusTSra are nowhere etymolog-
ical finals; the former is only the substitute for an original
final H B or ^ t; the latter occurs as final only so far as
it is a substitute for if m (218 h).
148. Apait iiom the vowels, then, the usual finals,
nearly in the order of their frequency, are : f^ 1 m, ^n,
^t, ^ k, ^ p, Tf, those of only sporadic occurrence are
^ 11, ^1, m 9; and, by substitution, - ili.
ISO. In geneial, only one consonant, of whatever kind,
is allowed to stand at the end of a word; if two or more
would etymologically occur there, the last is dropped, and
^ain the last, and so on, till only one remains.

before another non-naeal mute or before a sibilant; it stands
unaltered only before a vowel oi semivowel or nasal.

Surd and Sonant Assimilation.
166. Uadei tluB head, there u especially one very maiked
and important diffeteaoe between the internal combioations
of a loot or stem with suffixes and endings, and the external
combinations of stem with stem in composition and of word
with word in sentence-making: namely —
167. a. In internal combination, the initial vowel or
eemiTowel oi nasal of an ending of inflection or derivation
exercises no altering influence upon a final consonant of the
root or stem to which it is added.
b. To thli Tnle there are gome eieepttoD*; thni, »me of the detivatlTet
noted at 111 d; flnal d of a root befttie the participial lufllx na (dS7d);
and the fonns noted below, 161 b.
0. In external combination, on the other hand, an initial
sonant of whatever class, even a vowel oi semivowel or
nasal, requires the conversion of a final surd to sonant.
d. It haa been poloted oat above (163) that in the rnlef of external
combination only edmlttad flnali, along with ■ and r, need be taken
account ot, all othera being legarded a« lednced to theie befoie combining

168. With the exoeptious above atat«d, the oollisios
of BUid and soaant Bounds is avoided ia oombinationa —
and, legvlacl}' and usually, by aMimilatiog the final to the
following initial, ot by legiewive awimil&tion.
Thus, in interntl oombiiwtlOD : itai, ktO, attMs, atU (yaA +

afa&, aroid-dbOmft, brh&d-bhanii, ab-Ji.
160. If, however, a final wnant aspiiate of a root is
followed by H t 01 9 th of an ending, the aasimilation is in
the other direction, or prc^essiTe: the combination is made
aonant, and the aapuation of the final (lost according to 163,
above} is transferred to Uie initial of the ending.
TbnB, gh with t or tb becomes gdli; dh with the same beoomes
ddh, as boddbi (visndb + ta), roddhia (y^mndh + thaa or taa);
bb with the same becomes bdh, as labdlii (lOabb+ta), labdb^
(lOabli+tvi).
a. Moreover, h, as representlDg original gh, is treated in the same
manner: thai, dncdlii, ddgdhum from dah — and compare r&4^

Combinations of final H a and ^ r.
104. The euphonic changes of H s and ^ r are best
considered tt^ether, because of the practical relation of
the two sounds, in composition and sentence-collocation,
as corresponding surd and sonant: in a host of cases TT a
becomes ^ r in situations requiring or favoring the occur-
rence of a sonant; and, much less often, ^ r becomes H b
where a surd is required.
a. Id iotemal combination, the two are far less exchaogeable witli
one another: and this class of cases maf beat be taken up first.
166. Final r radical or qaasi-radical (that is, not belonging to
an ending of dedvatioD) remains unchanged before both surd and sonant
aonnds, and oven before ea In declension: tiios, plparfi, oatorthA,
oat6r;a, pOr^i^.
166. Final radical a remains before a surd in general, and usu-
ally before a, as in qitsal, gftssva, Bsee, a9lna [the last is also
written fi^fl^^u: 178j: but it is lost In &sl {yaa+ti: 636). Before
a sonant (that is, bh] in declension, it is treated as in external com-

Bnt the actnality of the eontenlan here la open to grave donbt; It rather
aeama the aubMltntion of a t-sCem for a a-atem. The aama li trae of the
change of vSAa to Tftt in the decleniloD of perfect participles (468). The
stem anafvah (404), from anas-vah, is anomalous and leolated.
b. In the eompoanda duoahuii& (dus-^nft) and p&raoohepa

169. As the final consonant of dertvatiTe stems and of inflected
forms, both of declension and of oonjngation, a is extremely frequent;
and its changes form a snbject of first-rate importance in Sanskrit
eaphony. The r, on the other band, is quite rare.

a root contaioing an r-element (whether r or j), whatever the position

&. In endings, inflectional or derivatiTe, beginning with a — thus,
au; at, a*) era; a of Bibilaot-aorlst, fntnre, and desiderstiTe; saffixes

ISB. Bat the aame change occars also, on a considerable scale,
in external oombiDaUon, especially in oompoBition. Thus:
a. Both in verbal forms and in derivatives, the final 1 or u of a
preposition or other like prefix ordinarily lingualizes the Initial a of
the root to which it Is prefixed; since anch combinations are both of
great frequencj and of peculiar intimacj, analogous with those of root
or stem and affix; thus, abhlqio, pratl;tl^ nlfLkta, v{;ita; anu-
(Tadh&m, anqdka; the cases are nnmberleas.

168, In romponnd words, an alterln| cause in one member lomedmei
llnguallies a n of the neit following member — either Its Initial or final

of the compound, or its integration hy being made the base of a deriTstlTe.

b. A final ^n is assimilated before sT j, becoming 3tii.
0> All the grimmailans, of every period, require this assimilation of

manuscripts.
d. For n before a snrd palatal, see below, SOS.
208. Befoie the palatal sibilant ^ 9, both fT t and R n

then the following n 9 may be, and in practice almost
always is, converted to W ch.
Thus, vedavlo ohOra:^ (-vlt qn-), tac ohxntvH, lircoliaya (brt4-

a. Some anthorltiea regard the converaion of 9 to oh after t or n af

O. For aaslmilatlon of n to a preceding palatal, see SOI.
Thus remaining cases are those of external combination.
806. a. l%e assimilation of n in external combination to a follow-
ing sonsnt palatal and the palatal albiianl 9 have been already treated
(scab, 808).
b. The n is also declared to be assimilated (becoming 9) before
a sonant lingual (^ ^li, 9), but the case rarelj if ever occttrs.
806. A n is also assimilated to a following initial 1, becoming
{like m: 313 d) a nasal L
a. The mannscTipta to a great extent disregard this mle, leaving the
n nncbanged; bnt also they la part attempt to follow it — and that, either
by writing the aatlmilated 11 (as the asBimlUtod m, 213f, and jnat as
leawnably) irith the (umBTSm-slgn , or elee hy doabling the 1 and potting

remains nnobanged; bnt a t may also be inserted between the nasal

liint B&n.
a. Aocording to most of the gramniarianB of the Frati^Lhyaa (not BFr.),
the insertion of the t in sneh caees is a neceaeary one. In the mannscrlpts
it is very frequently made, bat not nnlformly. It Is probably a purely
phonetic phenomenon, a ttansition-aoand to ease the double change of sonant
to Burd and nasal to non-nasal ntterance — altbongh the not Infrequent
cases In which tinal n stands for original nt (as bharan, abharan,
agolmfin) may have aided to establish it aa a nile. Its analogy with the
eoBTeraion of n q into fioh (803] is palpable.

inserted after final a a eibilant of each of those classes respectively,
before which the n hecomes anaavira: tbas, dar&fiq oa, bhv&Af

a. This rule, iihlch in the cluslcal Ungaage bis eGUbllshed Itself In
the form here given, ms ■ phonetic rule of unv&Tylng application, really
iniolrei a bietoric satvivel. Tbe latgs majority ot caaee of final n in the
langnags (not tai from three quarters) are for original ns; and the retention
of the sibilant in Eocb casei, when once Its historical gtoniid had been forgotten,
wag extended by analogy to all otbers.
b. Practically, tbe mle applies only to n before o and t, since cases
Involving the otber Initials occur either not at all, or only with extreme
rarity (the Vedft does not present an example of any of them). In tbe Veda,
the inseition is not always made, and the different texts bave with regard
to it different usages, which are fully explained in tboir Prati9aichyas; in
general, it Is less frequent tn the older texts. When the f does not appear
between n and a, the n is of coarse assimilsted, becoming fi (203).
208, Tbe same retention of original final s after a nssal, and
consequent treatment of [apparent] final ftn, in, ua, fa as if they were
Aha, IAb, Ofia, f&a [long nHgalized vowel with final a), ebowe itself
also in other Vedic forms of combination, which, for tbe sake of unity,
may be briefly stated here together;
a. Final Sii becomes Sii (nasalUed ft) before a following vowel : that
is to say, fiAe, with nasal vowel, is treated like fis, vltb pure vowel (177):
tbne, devad 6 'ha, upabaddhaA th&, mahtA nsi. This is an extremely
common case, especially in KV. Once or twice, the a appears as h heCore
p: thus, BT&tavtLnh p&yu^.
b. In like manner, 8 is Created aRer nasal i, u, ^ as it wonid be after
those vowels when pure, becoming T before a sonaut saand (174), and
(much more rarely) fy before a sard (170): thus, ra^miAr Iva, Bunl^Av
yuvaiiytliAr ut, ufftr abhi; ni&fy patraiu (and iifA§ p*, HS.).
o. RY. has once -lA before y. MS. usually has aA instead of fiA.
810. Tbe nasala n, 9, A, occnrring as finals after a short vowel,
iire doubled before any initial vowel; thus, pratyAAA Ad efi, ndy&an
{Ullty&^, AB&nii-lfu.
a. This is also to be regarded as a historical butvIvbI, the second
nasal being an assimilation of an original consonant following the flist. It
is always written in the manuscripts, although the Vedic metre seems to
show that the duplication was sometimes omitted. The RV. has the com-
pound vT^a^aqva.

Combjnationa of final ^^m.
212. Final radical R m, in internal combination, is as-
similated to a following mute or spiiant — in the latter case,
becoming anuavKra; in the former, becoming the nasal of
the same class with the mute.
a, RetoTe m 01 V (as when final; 14Sa), It la chsoged to n: tbiu,
from )/gBm come ^anmB, sganmahi, ganv&hi, jagaiiT^fiB (which
appear to be the oDiy qnotsble cues). Aacording to tbe grimmirlaDE, the
suns cbaDge is made in the inflection of root-stems before bll and Bo: thus,
pTsqftnbhla, praQKuBU (from praq&ia: pTa+)^7am), No deriied noaii-
Btem ends in m.
b. The (B. and E(S. bafe k&mvant and gimvant,
218. Final ^T m in external combination is a servile sound,
bedng assimilated to any following consonant. Thus:
a. It remaios DDchanged only before a vowel or a labi&l mate.
b. Bnt also, by an anomaloos exoept[oD, befoie r of the root xij in
samrij and its deHTatlves aamrl^fU and a&mrUya
c. Before a mate of any other class than labial, it becomes the
nasal of that class.
d. Before the semivowela 7, 1, v it becomes, aocerdii^ to the
Hindu grammarians, a nasal semivowel, the nasal counterpart of each
respeclirelf (see 71),
e. Before r, a slbilaot, or h, It becomes uraevBTa (see 71).
f. The manascrlpts and tbe editions In general make no attempt to
distinguish the anal tones produced by the assimilation of m before a follov-
ing eemlvovel tiom that before a Bpiracl,
g. But if h be immediately followed by anothei consonant (which can
only be a naaat or semi-vowel), the m is allowed to be assimilated to that
following consonant, This Ie because tbe h has no position of the moath-
orgaiis pecullai to itself, but is uttered in the position of the ueit soand.
The Piatioakbyas do not take any notice of the case.
h. Cases are met with in the Teda whete a final m appears to be
dropped before a vowel, the flnal and initial vowels being then combined
Into one. Tbe pada-teit then generally gives a wrong interpretation. Thus,
saiiiT&iiaiu) tiliayaiiikar&ia (RV. tIU. 1. 3; pada-teit: •□ana ubh-i
ST. -nanam).
■ 1. It has been pointed oat above (78) that the assimilated m is
generall; represented in texts by the anusvJbra-siKD, and that in this
work it is transliterated by di (instead of a nasal mute or A).

222. The Toot« in final ^ h, like those in fT j, fall into
two classes, exhibiting a similar diversity of treatment, ap-
pearing in the same kinds of combination.
a. In the one class, as dnb, we have a reversion of h [as of cj
to a guttural form, and its treatment as if it were still its original gb:
thus, &dhuk;am, dbok^yami; dugdhwrn, dugdb&; &dtiok, dhiik,
dbugbbie, dbuksu*
b. In the other class, as rub and aah, we have a guttural re-
version (as of 9I only before b )n verb-formation and derivation: thus,
aruk^at, rokfjlbni, Bftkfiyi, sakfinl. As final, in external combi-
nation, and in nouD-infiection before bh and bo, the b Hike f) becomes
a lingual mute; thus, tn^^afi pptanSfi^ ayodhy&b, turSs^bble,
turfifatBu. But before a dental mute (t, th, db] in verb-inflection
and in derivation, its euphonic effect is peculiarly complicated:
it turns the dental into a lingual (as would 9); but it also makes
it sonant and aspirate (as would 411: see 160): and further, it
disappears itself, and the preceding vowel, if short, is lengthened:
thns, from rota with ta comes rQ4bil^ from leb with ti comes leijtai,
from guh with tar comes guijUi&r, from meh with turn comes m^tptum,
from lib with taB or tbaa comes liijb&B, from lib with dbvam comes

y'dhS put; and further anilogont facta are the stem kakuh& beside
kKkabb^, the donble imperative ending dbi and bl, and the dative

SS4. Inegnlaritles of combination are:
(t. The vowel f le not lengthened arter the loss of the b-element'. thus,
df^b^ tf^h&, b^^h& (tba only oasej; and in the Veda Iheii Qrst syllable
has metrical valne as heavy or long).

thening it: thus, TO^b&m, ToijbKin, To^bif, sd^bnm. Bot from sab
In the older Imgaage forms vlth S are mors frequent; thus, sA^it, itqS^bit
(also later), Ba^bMT. The root tfiih changes (he vowel of Its elaas-sign
nft into « instead of lengthening It: thai, t^p^e^bl, tfl^A^bU, Ktp^et
(the grammarians teach also tf^ehmi and tpqokfi: bnt no such forms are

is treated in the same manner as palatal 1^9. Thus:
a. Before t and th it remains unchanged, and the latter are as-
slmllated: e. g. dvlffaa, dvi^fbu, dv^tnm.
Thli Is a common ind peifeetly n&taril combiiiatlon.

e. g. pl^^ijhl. Tlf^hi. TiTl^^hl, dvi^^hvam, dTi^bhia. dvitsai

a. The various authorities disagree wUh one another in detail as to
this dnpllcalloD. According to Paniui, ch Is doubled vithin a word after
either a long or a ehott vowel; and, as initial, necesairlly after a abort and
after the particles i and rai, and optionally ereryvhere after a long. In
RV., Initial oh Is donbled after a long vowel of i only, and certain special
cases after a short vowel are eicepted. For the required ossge in tbe other
Vedic teits, see theli several Pritl9Bkhya«. The Katbaka vritaa for original
oh (not ch from cambiuatioii of t oi n with q: SOS) after a vowel

b. Opinions are atill at variance as to how far this dopUcation has
an etymological ground, and how far it is only an acknowledgment of the
fact that oh makes a heavy syllable even after a short vowel (makes
"position": 78). As tbe duplication ia accepted and followed by most
European scholars, it will be also adopted in this work in words and sen-
tences (not in roots and stems).

o. Between r and a following consonant the PrBti9aUiya8 teach the
Insertion of a svorabliakti or voicel-fragment: see APr. 1. 101-2, note.
d. Some authorities assume this lusertion only before a spirant; the
others regard it as twice as long before a spirant as before any other con-
sonant— namely, a half or a quarter mora before the former, a quarter or
an eighth before the latter. One [VPr.) admits it after 1 as well u r. It
is Tarlonsly described as a fragment of the vowel a or of f (or }).
e. The RPr. pats a STajabhakti also between a sonant conaonant

BpllotAlut (distinguuher} between a guttural and a preceding mute of

a. In root-eyllBblea : either in inflection, as dv^qti from ydvi^,

Vowel -lengthening.
844. Vowel -lengthen iug conceraB especially 1 arid n, since the
lengthening of a is in part (except where in evident analogy with
that of i and u) IndiBtlnguiahable from its increment, and f is made
long only in certain plnrttl cases of etems In f (or ar: 960 ff.). Length-
ening is a much more irregnlai and sporadic change than increment,
and its cases will in general be left to lie pointed oat in connection
with the processes of inflection and derivation: a few only will be
mentioned here.
345. a. Final radit-al 1 and n aie espedall; liable to prolongation
befora y: as In paasive and gerund and to on.
b. Final radical ir and ur (from Taiiable f-roots: 843) are liable to
prolongation before all consonants except those of perEonal endings; namely,
before jr and tvS and na: and in declension before bh and a (38S).
Radical is has the same prolongation in declension (898).
346. Compensitory lengthening, or absorption by a Towel of the time
of a lost following consonant. Is by no means rommoD. Certain Instances
of it have been pointed out above (176, 188 o,d, 168 d, 888b). Perhaps
snch cases as plti for pltarB (371 a) end dhani for dlianins (436) are
' to be classed here.
S47. The final vowel of a former member of a compound is often
made Ion;, especially in the Vedi. Prolongations of flnal a, and before v,
ate most frequent; but cases ate fnnnd of every variety. Examples are:
der&vi, Tayun&Tid, prSvff, jthvaaa, {ndrftvant, sadanSs4d, ;auU
magha. Tigranara, AkSdaga; apijti, parin&h, vlrudh, tnvlmagh&,
tTifimsLSt, q&ktltrant; Tasted, anuradh, sum&ya, puruT&au.| i
848. In the Teda, the flnal vowel of a word — genenlly a, mach
less often i and a — is In a large nnmber of cases prolonged. Uanally
the prolongation takes place where It is taroied by the metre, but some-
times even where the metre opposes the change (for details, see the various
Prati^akhyaB].

CHAPTER IV.
DECLENSION.
Sdl. The general subject of declenBion inelndeB noans, adjectiTos,
and proaooDB, all of which are inflected in essential])' the same manner.
Bnt while the corieapondence of nouns and adjectives is so close that
they eaoDOt well be separated in treatment (oliap. V.), the pronoans,
which exhibit many pecnlarities, will be best dealt with in a separate
chapter (Vll.) ; and the words designating number, or numerals, also
form A class peculiar enough to require to be presented by them-
selves (chap. VI.)-
262. Declensional foims show primarily case and num-
ber; but they also indicate gender — since, though the
distinctions of gender are made partly in the stem it»elf,
they also appear, to no inconsiderable extent, in the changes
of inflection.
263. Gender. The genders are three, namely mascu-
line, feminine, and neuter, as in the other older Indo-Euro-
pean languages; and they follow in general the same lavs
of distribution as, for example, in Greek and Latin.
a. The only words which show no sign of gendet-dlBtlnetlon >re the
peraoiul pronouna of the first tmd second person (481), sud the nomeTsts
iboTe foar (483).
264. Number. The numbers are three — singular, dual,
and plural.
a. A few wotda ue nsed only in the plursl: ss dftr&a wi/s, £patt trotor;
the nameial dva ivJO, Is dnU only; and, as In other Isngoages, man; words
are, by the nature of thelt use, toand to occur only in the eingnlai.
Ses. As to the uses of the numbers, it needs only to be remarked
that the dual is (with only very rare and sporadic exceptions) nsed
strictly in all cases where two objects are logically indicated, whether
directly or by combination of two indiTiduals: thus, fivd te dytU
Vftpfthlvi ubh^ Btfim mayhtaven and earth both be propitiout to thee!
dalvaifa oa mSnufaih oa hotfir&u vf^yS haoing choten both the divine

266. Case. The cases aie (including the vocative) eight:
nominative, accusative, instiumental, dative, ablative, gen-
itive, locative, and vocative.
a. Tb« order In which they ate here raeationed !■ that eslabllBhed for
them by the Hindu grammsilanB, and accepted from these by WnBtern
BcholaiB. The Hlndn names of the cases are founded on this order: the
nominatira is called peatlXAml, Jirat, the accnaattTe dvltlyi second, the
genitive faffhl eixlh (ec. vlbbaktl dinition, i. e. ccae), etc. The object
aonght in the arrangement is limply to set next to one another those cases
which are to a greater or Ihsb extent, in one or another number, identical
in form; and, patting the nominitWe Brst, as leading case, there is no
other order by which that object could be attained. The Tocative is not
considered and named by the native grammarians as a case lilie the rest;
In this work, it Till be giveii in the singular (where aland it is eier dis-
tinguished from the nomtnative otherwise than by aec«Dt) at the end of the
series of Msea.
A compendions statemeiit of the ueee of the cases is given in
the following paragraphs:
867. Uses of the Nominative. The nominative is the case
of the subject of the sentence, and of any vord qualifying the sub-
ject, whether attrihatively, in appositioo, or as predicate.
388. One or two peculiar constructioDS call for notioe:
a. A predicate nominative, instead of an objective predicate In the
accasative, Is used wlUi middle verb-forms that signify regarding or calling
one's self: thns, s6maih manyate papivan (BY.) kt thinii he has been
drinking eoma; ek maoyeta porft^avft [AV.) he may regard himielf as
xei»e in ancient things; dur^d va &hartii 'vocathftli (MS.) Aou hast
claimed to be a savior out of trouble; {ndro brfthma^o bruvS^a^
(TS.) Indra pretending to be a BroMnim ; kattbase aatyavftdl (R.) thou
hoaslsst thyself truth/a!. Similarly with the phrase rflpaih i^: thus,
kn96 riip&lil k^tva (T9.) taking on a black form (1. e. making shape
for himself as one that is black).
b. A word made by Iti (1103) logically predicate to an object is
ordinarily nomlnatiTe: thus, Kvexgd lok& fti y&ih T&danti (AV.) tchat
they call the heavenly tcorld; tam agnlffoma ity koakfate (AB.) if

869. Uses of the aCDuiative. The scousatEve [b eBpecialty
the case of the direct object of a tnnsitlTe verb, uid of kdj word
qo&lifjdQg that object, u attribate or appoBltive or objeodre pradi-
c»te. The construction of the verb ia shared, of course, by its par-
ticiples and iDfinitives; but also, in Sanskrit, by a number of other
derivatives, having a more or less participial or infiaitivaJ character,
and even Bometimes by nouns and adjectives. A few prepositions
are aecompaDied by the accusative. As less direct object, or goat
of motion or action, the accuwtive is construed especially with verbs
of approach and address. It is found used more adverbially as ad-
junct of place or time or manner; and a host of adverbs are accDS-
ative cases in form. Two accusatives are often found as objects of
the same verb.
570. The OEs of tha ■ociuatiTe si direct object of ■ ttaasltiTe verb
and of its InflnltlTet and paittcipleB hardly needs iUnstratton; an ezampla
or two ate: agnim I^e I praiie Agni; n&mo bharanta^ bringmg

irords qoalifyiDg the object, an example is t&m osr&di bf^oml t&lfa
brahm^iqana (RV.) him I make formidable, him a priett.
571. Of verbal dBiivatives having bo far ■ participial chacaeter that
they share the cooitiuctlon of the verb, the variety is coDBlderable : thas —
a. Derivatl'ea In u from deaideratlve atems (1038) have wholly tha

detiring to win Damat/anii; didfkfur Jan&k&tmaJSm (B.) detiring to
lee Jantdide daughter. Barely, alio, the verbal noun io & from such a root:
thus, Bvargam abhikfifikqayS (R.) with deaire of paradiie.
b. So-i^alled primary derivatives In In have the eame oharaeter: thoa,

284. Uees of the Genitive, a. Tlie proper valne of the
genitive is adjectivali It belongs to nnd qualifisB a doud, designating
iometbiog relating to the latter in a manner which the nataie of the
case, or the connection, defines more nearly. Other genitive con-
stmctiooB, with adjective or verb or preposition, appear to arise out
of this, bj a more or leas distinctly traceable connection.
b. The use of the genilJve has become much extended, eape-
cialiy in the later language, by attribatlon of a Uoun-cbaracter to the
adjective, and by pregnant veriial construction, so that it often bears .
the aspect of being a sobstitnte for other cases — as dative, instru-
mental, ablative, locative.
28B. The genitive in its normal adjective construction with a noun
or pronoun is claBslflahle Into the nsnal varieties: ai, genitive of possession
or appnrtenance, including the complement of implied relation — this is,
aa elsewhere, the commonest of all; the so-called partitive genitive; the
anbjacllve and objective genltivea; and so on. Genitives of apposition or

'801. Uaes of the Locative, a. The locative Is pToperly the
in-t»M, the caM eipreesing aitaation or location; but ite aphare of
use haa been somewhat eitended, so as to touch and overlap the
boondaiiea of other cases, for which it seema to be a Bnbadtote.
b. Unimportant variatioDS of the sense of m are tboae of amid
or among, on, and of. Of courae, alao, altnatioa in time aa well as
place ia indicated by the case; and it is applied to yet lees physical
relatioDB, to sphere of action and feeling and knowledge, to atate of
thioga, to accompanying circumatance; and out of this last grows the
freqnent age of the locative aa the case abaolate.
o. Moreover, by a pregtiant eonatruction, tbe looative U used
to denote the place of rest or cessation of action or motion [into or
on to inataadof moron; Qerman in with aecnsative instead of dative:
comparo EngHsb there tt>T thither],
SOS. a. The lootttie of iltnattoD in gptee hardly needs lltnstration.

b. Tbe locative of time Indicates the point of time at nhlch anything
takes plaea: thaa, asy^ ti;4bo vyAf^ftu (RV.) at the shining forth of

b. Id the acouBative, m or Bim Is the masc. and fern, ending
— am being added after a conBonant and r, and after i and S in the
radical diviaioD, and m elsewhere after vowels. The neuter acoaBative
is like the nomiiiative.
o. The instrumental ending for all geuders alike Is &. With
final 1- and u-vowels, the & is vsrionsly combined, and in the older
langnage It ia sometimea lost hy contraction with them. Stems in a
make the case end in ens [aometimeH enX in V.), and those in S make
it end in oyS; but instaDces occnr, in the early language, of immediata
addition of & to both a and B.
d. The dative ending ia in general e^ and with It llkewiae the
modes of combination of 1 and u final are various (and disappearance
by contraction not unknown in the oldest langnage). The a-steros
are quite irregular in this case, making it end in Bya — excepted is
the pronominal element -ema, which combines (apparently) with e to
-Bm&i. In the personal pronouns is found bli;ain (or bjam).
e. A fuller ending &1 (like gen.-abl. fin and loc. &m: see below;
belongs to feminine stems only. It is taken (with ioterpoaed ;) by
the great class of those in derivative ft; also by those in derivative I,
and {aa reckoned in the later language] in derivative n. And later
it Is allowed to be taken by feminine stems in radical i and n, and
even by those in 1 and u: these last have it in the earliest language
in only exceptional iDstances. For the substitution of fti for sbl.-gen.
fta, see below, h.
f. The ablative lias a special ending, d (ort), only In a-stems,
maac. and neut, tbe a being lengthened before it (except in the per-
sonal pronouns of Ut and 2d person, which have the same ending
at in the pL, and even, in the old language, in the dual). Everywhere
else, the ablative is identical with the genitive.
K* The genitive of a-stems laud of one pronominal u-stem,
amu) adds sya. Elsewhere, the usnal sbl.-gen, ending is as; but its
irregularities of treatmeot in combination with a atem-final are con-
siderable. With 1 and u, it is either directly added (only in the old
language), added with interposed n, or fused to es and os respect-
ively. With T (or »r) it yields ur [or us: 169 b).
b. The fuller fta is taken by feminine etems precisely as fti is
taken in the dative: see above. But in the langnage of the Brah-
manas and Sutraa, tlie dative-ending ftt is regularly and commonly used
instead of fte, both of ablative and of genitive. See 366 d.
i. The locative ending is 1 in consonant- and p and a-«tems
(faeing with a to e in the latter). The i- and u-stems (nnlem the
final vowel is saved by an ioterpoeed n) make the case end in ftu;
but the Veda has some relics or traces of the older forms (ay-i 1?)
and av-1) out of which this appears to have sprung. Vedic locatives

ftom i-it«mB end bIbo in & Bnd L The pFonominal element -bum
makaa the locfttive -smln. Stems In an in the older lingiuge often
kwe the 1, and use the bare item as locative-
j. The ending ftm is the locaUre oorrespoudent to dat. ftl and
abl.-gen. Ke, and is taken under the same circum stances: see above.
k. The vocatire (uoleas by accent: 314) is distinguished from
the Domlnative only in the singular, and not quite alwsja there. In
a-Btems, it la the unaltered stem, and so also in most consonant-stems;
bnt nentera in kd and in maj drop the a; and the oldest language
hae sometimea a vocative in a from etems in nt and fie. Stems in f
change this to ns. In masc. and fem. 1- and a-stems, the case ends
respectively in e and o; In neuters, in the same or in 1 and a. Stems
in ft change K to e; derivative i and Q are shortened; radical stems
In long vowela use the nominative form.
308. Dual. a. The dual has — except ao far as the vocative
is sometimes distinguished from nominative and accusative by a dif-
ference of accent: 314 — only three case-forms: one for Dom., accus.,
and Toc.; one for instr., dat., and abl.; and one for gen. and loc.
b. But the pronouns of 1st and 2d person in the older language
distingnish five dnal cases: see 492b.
o. The masc. and fem. ending for nom.-accus.-voc. is in the
later language usually ftu; but instead of this the Veda has pre-
y^lingly &. Stems In S make the case end in e. Stems In i and u,
maee. and fem., lengthen those vowels; and derivative I in the Veda
remains regularly unchanged, though later it adds ftu. The neuter
ending is only 1; with final a this combines to e.
d. The universal ending for the Instr.-dat.-abl. is bby&m,
before which final a Is made long. In the Veda, it is often to be
read as tvo syllables, Uiifim.
e. The universal ending of gen.-loc. is os; before this, a and
ft alike become e (al).
300. Plural, a. In the nominative, the general masculine
and feminine ending is as. The old language, however, often makes
{he case in ftau instead of Se from a-stems, and in a. few examples
also from ft-stens. From derivative i-stems, ia instead of yaa is the
regular and nsnal Vedio form. Pronominal a-stams make the masc.
nom. In e.
b. The neuter ending (which is accusative also) is in general i;
and before thia the final of a stem is apt to be strengthened, by
prolongation of a vowel, or by insertion of a nasal, or by both. But
in the Veda the hence resulting fonns in ftnl. Ini, Qnl are frequentiy
abbreviated by loss of the ni, and sometimes by further shortening
of the preceding vowel.

0. The accuaatlTe endiog is also aa in oonaoiiaii totems and
in the radical division of I- and Q-stems (and in tlio old language
even elsewhere). Stems in short towsIb lengthen those vowela and
add in the muonline n (for ns, of which abundant traces remain),
and in the feminine b- In the neuter, this cue is like the nominative.
d. In the instiumental, the ease-ending is everywhere bhia
except In a-stems, where in the later language the case always ecda
in Sis, but in the earlier either In aia or the more regular ebhia
(Sbhia in the two personal pronouns; and the pronominal stem a [EOl]
makes ebUs only).
•■ The dative and ablative have in the plural the same form,
with the ending btayas (in Veda often bhlaa), before which only a
is altered, becoming e. But the two personal pronouns distingaish
the two cases, having for the ablaldve the singular ending (as above
pointed out), and for the dative the peculiar bbyam (almost never in
Veda bhlam), which they ezteod also into the singular.
f. Of the genitive, the universal ending is Sm; which (except
optionally after radical I and tt, and Id a few scattering Tedio in-
stances) takes after final vowels an Inserted consonant, a in the pro-
nominal declension, n elsewhere; before n, a short vowel is length-
ened; before a, a becomes e. In the Veda, it is frequently to be
proDODQoed In two syllables, as a-am
g. The locative ending is so, without any exceptions, and the
only change before it is that of a to e.
b. The vocative, as in the dual, differs from the nominative

the native giammarianB (and oonveniently to be assumed as
the baiBiB of apecial descriptione), is this:

a. It Is taken in bulk by the consonantal stems and by the rad-
ical division of i- and Q-stems; by other vowel-stems, wiUi more or
less considerable variations and modificattons. The endings which
have almost or quite unbroken range, through stems of all olaasea,
are bhy&m and OS of the dual, and bhie, bbyas, Im, and an of the

311. Variation of Stem. a. By fai the most im-
poitant matter undei this head ia ihe distiaction made in
la^e claaaes of woids [chiefly those ending in consonants)
between strong and weak stem-forms — a distinction stand-
ing in evident connection with the phenomena o£ accent.
In the nom. and accus. siag. and du. and the nom. pi.
|the fire cases whose endings are never accented: 316 ft),
the stem often has a stronger or fuller form than in the
rest : thus, for example (424), JlsJT^R raj&n-am, ^sTHt rSjan-
511, (IslHH rtjan-aa, against ^fTslT rajfl-5 and ^fTsjftTT rSja-
bhia; or (460 b) tl^TrPT mahint-am and (447) g^rPT adfiat-
am against R^RT mahat-S and Q^ adat-s. These five,
therefore, are called the cases with strong stem, or, briefly,
the strong cases; and the rest are called the cases with
weak stem, or the weak cases. And the weak cases,
again, are in some classes of words to be distinguished into
cases of weakest stem, or weakest cases, and cases of
middle stem, oi middle cases: the former having endings
beginning with a vowel (instr., dat., abl.-gen., and loc. sing.;
gen.-Ioo. du.; ace. and gen. pi.); the latter, with a consonant
(instr .-dat. -abl. du.; instr., dat.-abl., and loc. pi.).
b. The class of strong cases, as above defined, belongs
only to masculine and feminine stems. In neuter inflection,
the only strong cases are the nom. -ace. pi.; while, in those
stems that make a distinction of weakest and middle form,
the nom.-acc. du. belongs to the weakest class, and the nom.-
acc. sing, to the middle: thus, for example, compare (408)
ilrOf^ pratydfic-i, nom. -ace. pi. neut., and UriiyH praty-
dfio-as, nom. pi. maso. ; 51fft^ pratlc-i, nom.-acc. du. neut.,
and HhWIH pratIo-6fl, gen.-loc. du.; ^rll^^ pratydk, nom.-
acc. sing, neut., and HrUPw pratyig-bhis, instr. pi,

in the old langnage of the fotnu of ft- and l-stema viih those of fta- and
In-steou is pretty complete^ and the a-stenu follow their analogy. Else-
where, It ia most widely and flnnly eatabllsbed In the gen. pi., wheie in
the great maas of cases, and tiom the earliest period, the ending is vlrta-
ally nfim after a tdwoI. In the t- and a-stams of the later language, tiie
iostr. alng. of maM. and nent. Is aeparat«d by it« presence from the fem.,
and it Is In the other weakest cases made a usual distinction of neuter forms
from maacnllnei but tbe aipect of the matter in the Teda Is very different:
there the sppeaiance of tlie n is everywhere sporadic^ the neuter shows no
special inclination to take it, and it la not eiclnded even from the femi-
nine. In the ending ena from ft-stems (later Invariable, earllei predomi-
nating) its presence appears to have worked the most oonalderable trans-
formation of original ehape.
a. The place of n before gen. pi. ftm is taken by s In pronominal

b. And in the Veda (the case is a rare one], whenever a syllable written

form, the first element only has the vocative accent, and tbe syllable as

316. As regards the otber cases, rules for change of accent in
declension have to do only with monosyllables and with stems of
more than one syllable which are accented on the final ; for, if a stem
be accented on the pennlt, or any other syllable farther back — as
is B&rpaQt, vari, bh&gavant, eom&naa, sah&srBTflJa — (he accent
remains npon that syllable through the whole inflection (except in the
vocative, as explained in the preceding paragraph).
a. The only eiceptloni are a few nnmeral sterna: aee 488.
316. Stents accented on the final (including monoByllables) are
subject to variation of accent in declension chiefly in virtue of the
fact that some of the endings have, while others have not, or have
in less degree, a tendency themselves to take tbe accent. Thus:
a. The endinga of the nomlnatlTe and aecuaatiie singular and daal
and of the nomfnatlTe piuial (that ia to Bay, of the strong cases: 811) have
no tendency to take the accent away from the stem, and aie therefore only
accented when a flnal vowel of the stem and the vowel of the ending are
blended together into a single vowel or diphthong. Tbns, from dattA oouie
dattaii (=datt4 + au] anddattas (=datti + aa); bnt from nadi come
nadySii CE=nadI+au) and nadyaa (smadf+as)-
b. All the other endings sometimes take the accent; bnt those begiuning
with • vowel (i. e. of the weakest cases: 811) do so more readily than
those beginning with a consonant (I. c. of the middle cases: 311). Thar,
from 11&68 come n&va and nHubhls; fiom mahAnt, however, come
mahatlE but mah&dbhls.

317—] IV. Declension. 110
The general rules of accent, then, maj be thus stated:
317, In the deolenBion of monosyllabic stems, the accent falls
upon the ending in all the weak cases (without distinction of middle
and weakest)- thus, nftv^ nfinbbyam, aftv^, nSufu; T&d, Tfigbhla,
vftcam, vAkfu.
a. Rut eoma monosyllible itemi retain the accent thiODghont: Cbns,
26bhlB, g&Tim, g6fu. For tncb casfg, tee below, 860, 361 o, d. 37fi,
380, 4S7. And in tlie a^c. pi. the stem Is evm otiensr tccented than
the ending, «omc woidt also admitting either accentuation.
Sie. Of polysj'llabic stems ending in consonants, only a few shift
the accent to the ending, and that in the weakest (not the middle)
cases. Such are:
a. Preient paitlclplei In &nt oi it: thug, from tudint, tndati ani
tudattbs and tudatam; bat tud&dbhj&m and tuditsn.
b. A few adjeetivea faiving tba (orni et sneh paiticiplea, ai maliat^

e. 9t!ina o( which the accented flnal loaei Ita Erllabic chua~ter bf

et^; 423).
d. Other aporadlc cases will be noticed nnder the different declensions.
e. Case-forms used adverbially sometimes ehow a changed accent:
Gee lUOff.
319. Of polysyllabio stems etidlng in accented short vowels
the final of the stem retains the accent if it retains its syllabic
identity: thus, dattina and datt jya from datt&; agnina and agn&ye
from agni; and also dattibhyaa, Bgnlbhls, and so on. Otherwise,
the accent is on the ending: and that, whether the final and the end-
ing are combined into one, aa in dattfifs, dhenSA, ogniiii, dbends,
and so on: or whether the fieal is changed into a semivowel before
the ending: thus, dhenvlt, jfUxt, jftmyos, bBhTds, etc.
a. But Sm of the gen. pi. from atema In i and 6 anl f may, and In
the older language alnays doei, take the accent, though e.'parated by n from
the stem : thus, acQiitJm, dlieailaitm, pi^am. in RV., even derivatlTe
i-3tcmB Bho'* usually the Fame shift: tbua, bahvln^. Of stems In it,
only numerals (483 a] follow this rule: thus, saptftnim, dafSnim.
320. Boot-fords In 1 and il as flnal memberg oT comp'>unds retain the
ac^nt througboat, not shitting it to any of the endings. And in the older
language there are polysyllabic words In long flnal vowels which follow In
this respect aa in others the analogy of the root-dec lenslon (below, 3B5ir.).
Apart from th^'se, the treatmrn'. ot sl-'ms in derivitive long vowels is, a<
regards ai-eent, the same ai of those in short vowels — save that the Ion ■
is not thrown forward npon tbe ending in gen. plural.

and adjective stems is so complete that the tiro oaanot be
separated in tieatmeot from one another.
b. They may be classified, foi convenieaoe of descrip-
tion, as follows:
I. Stems in ^ a;
n. Stems in ^ i and 7 u;
III. Stems in )9T ft, ^ I, and tJt 11: namely, A. ladical-
stems(and a few otheis inflected like them); B. denvative stems ;
IV. Stems in n f (or 51^ ar);
V; Stems in consonants.
o. There le nothing ibsolate tn thii clasilBoatian and unngement;
It U meiely belieTed t« be open to w few objections ta any other. Mo
general igitement has been reached among Bcbolars as to the number and
order of Sanskrit declensions. The stems in a are here treated first became
of the great predominance ot the clui.
88S. Tbe dlvisioD-liDe between aubstftiitire and adjective, always
an uncertain one in early Indo-EuropeaD language, la even more
wavering in Sanskrit than elsewhere There are, however, in all the
4eclensionB as divided above — unless we except the stems in r oj
ar — words which are distinctly adjectives; and, in general, they
are inflected precisely like nonn-Btems of the same final: only, among
con Bon ant-stems, there are certain sub-claBseB of adjective stems with
pecnliarities of inflection to which there IB among nouns nothing cor-
responding. Bnt there are alBo two conBiderable classeB of adjectlve-
couponndB, requiring special notice: namely —
3S3. Compound adjectives having as final member a bare verbal
root, with tbe value or a present participle (383 a ff): thus, sii-dfq weU-
hoking; pra-badli forekmmoing; »-drdh not hating; veda*vid Veda-
kaowing; v^tTa-hiui Vitra-slayitig; upastha-s&d titling in tht lap.
Every root Is liabla to be used in this way, and such compounds are
not infrequent in all ages of the language: aee chapter on Compoands,
below (laeS),

since In the earlleit Veda tbe timple as well ae the aompoonded root wu

much more often so aied, and the later the more eiclualTely, eo that
prsotically the e1a»» ii > aeparate and impottaut ooe.
324. Compound adjeotives having a noun as final member, but
obtaining an ftdjective sense seoondarily, by having the idea of
poiteuion added, and being infiected as adjectives in the three gen-
ders (IS9Sff.). Thus, ]^T«4&k&in4 detire of progmy, whence the ad-
jectire pr^Jaklma, meaning denrotu [i. e. having dtiire) 0/ progtny;
eabh&rya (sa+bli&ryi) having ont'e wif« along; and so on.

prec^dmg member (1808-10): thas, RtimKtra imtnodarate (atlmBtrun
bti/ond mtaiurt); T&va;4ddTef&a driving away anemia.
326. Hence, under each declension, we have to notice how a
root or a noun-stem of that declension is Inflected when Goal member
of an adjective compound.
a. As to accent, it needs only to be remarked here that a root*
word ending a oomponnd has the accent, but (380) loses tbe peoa-
liarity of monosyllabic accentuation, and does not throw tbe tone
forward upon the ending (except aSo in certain old forms: 410).

333. The stems in ^ i and 7 u are inflected in so close
accordance with one anothei that they cannot be divided
into two separate declensions. They are of all the three
genders, and tolerably numerous — those in ^ 1 mote

Id the later language, the neuter Is cequired In this, at in all the other
weakest eases, to Insert n before the normal ending: but In the Veda such
totms are onir sporadic; and the neut. dat. has also the forms Aje, va,
ftve, like the other genders.
e. The abl. and gen. masc and (em, have regularly, both earlier and

the neuter locatives in ini and xad; but the former never occurs In the

847. The st«me ending in long rowela fall into two
well-maiked classes or divisions: A. monosyllabic stems —
mostly bare toots — and their compounds, with a compar-
atively small number of otheis inflected like them; B. de-
rivative feminine stems in i^T S and ^ 1, with a small num-
ber in ^ D which in the later language have come to be
inflected like them. The latter division is by fai the larger
and more important, since most femiiune adjectives, and
considerable classes of feminine nouns, ending in ^ S or
^ I, belong to it.
A. Boot^-words, and those inflected like them.
848. The inflection of these stems is by the normal
endings throughout, oi in the manner of consonast-stems
(with ^ am, not tT m, in the accus. sing.); peculiarities
like those of the other vowel-declensions are wanting. The
simple words are, a^ nouns, with few exceptions feminine;
as adjectives (rarely), and in adjective compounds, they are
alike ia masculine and feminine forms. They may, for con-
venience of description, be divided into the following sub-
classes :
1. Root-words, or monosyllableB bavlaK the aspsct of such. Those
in S aie so rare that It is hardly possible to make op a whole scheme
of forms In actual use; those in I and & are more nomerons, bat still
very few-
2. Compounds having such words, or other roots with loog final
vowels, as last member.
3. Polysyllabic words, of various origin and character, inolading
in the Veda many which later are transferred to other declenilons.
4. As an appandix to this clasa we may most conveniently
describe the half-dozen stems, mostly of regalar inflection, ending in
diphthongs.

altogether, except in the strong oases, and in the aoo. pi., which is

DO instaDoes of ibe occurrence of such a form appear to be quotable).
Stems in I and Q are in the later langnage allowed to take optionally
the fuller endlngi U, Sa, Om in the singular (dat., abt.-gen., loc.)i but
DO such forms are ever met with in the Veda (except blilT&{[F], RV.,
once). Before Km of gen. pi., n may or may Dot be inserted; in the
Veda It is regnlarly inserted, with a single exception (dhlyiUii, once).

apply, the accent is thrown forward upon the endinge in all the weak
cases except the acous. pi-, which ia like the nom. But the &-stems
appear (the instances are extremely few} to keep the accent upon the
stem throughout.

SfiS. Polyay llabio Stems. Stems of tbia division (A) of mora
than one ajllabte ue very rare indeed in tbe later language, and tiy
no means common in the earlier. The Rlg-Veda, however, preeeuta
a not ioooDBtderable body of them; and aa the class nearly dies ont
later, by the disuse of Its sterna or their transfer to other modes of
deolenaioD, it may be best described on a Vedic basis.
a. Of stems in &, maieullnea, hslt-s-dotsn ocdot Id the Teda: p&nthi,
m&nth&, and rbbukft ue otherwiae Ttsved by the later grammar: sea
belov, 4SS-4; uqiuB (nom. pr.) has the atiomaloaa nam. elng. Tiq&nl
(and lee. w irril as dat. uq&oe); mahi grtai is found only In aocui, sing,
and abnndantly In composition; atfi ^ome hae onlj> atfiau not derivable
from jta.
b. Of stems In I, oier seventy sra found In the Veda, nearly all
feminine*, and all accented on the final. Half of the feniinJne* are farmed
from maacnlines vlth change of accent: thus, knlyft^I (m. kalyiE^),
puruft (m. p6rufa]i othars show no change of accent: thni, yaml (m,
jaxak); others still have no corresponding maacaUnes: thai, nadi, Iftkjmi,
Btlnni. the masculines are about ten in number: for example, rathl,
prSvi, atari, ahf, Apatht.
o. Of stems In 0, the number is amallet: these, too, are nearly all
femlnlnes, and all accented on tbe Anal. The majority of them are the
feminine adjectives In tt lo masculines in tt oi U (above, 344 b) : thus,
oara^yd, carlf^llt, Jlgfaatati, madbd. A fair are ooans in d, with
change of accent; thus, agtii (igi-a), pfdikA (p^dikn), frogrlt (qvA-
fora); or vithoat change, as nptd. And a few have no correspanding
maBcnlinei: thns, tanA, vadhii, oaind. The masculines are only tvo or
three: namely, pr&gd, k^kadftfti, makftt(?]; and their forms are of the
QlmoEt rarity.
960. The mode of declensioD of these words may be iUustrated
by tbe following examples: ratbl m. eharioUer; nadf f. itream; tanft
a. No one of the selected examples occurs In all the Torms; forms for
wbloh no example at all la quotable are put In brackets. No loe. ring, from
any I-etem occure, to deteraine what the form would be. The stem nadf
is selected aa example partly in order to emphasize the diSeience between
the earlier Un|uage and the later In regard to the word* of this division :
aadi 1* later the model of derivative Inflection.

3S0. There ue certatn raonoByllablo Bteme endiDg in diphthonge,
which are too few and too diverse in Inflection to Piake a declension
of, and which may be moat appropriately dlepoaed of here, in con-
nection with the Btemg In I and u, with which tbey have qiost afBnity.
They are:
ft. Btema in &a: naA and Klta;
b. etems in &1: ttA;
e. Btema in o: g6 and dyA (or dyu, 6iv].
361, a. The stem nftu f. ihip ia entirely regular, taking the
normal endlnga throughout, and following the loleB for monosyllabic
accentuation (317J— except that the accas. pi. is gaid (it does not
appear to occnr in accented texts) to be like the nom. Thus: nfiuB,
nJvam, afiva, n&7d, nftv&a, nivl; nJvSu,n&ubh7^> n&vAa; n^vaa,
nivae, n&ubhlB, nAubhy&a, nftvam, n&u^u. The stem glAu m. ball
is apparently inflected in the same way; but few of its forma have
been met with in use..
b. The Btem ral f (or m.) tcealth might be better desorlbed bb
rS with a union-consonant j (S68) interposed before vowel endings,
and Ib regularly inflected as anch, with aonnal endings and loono-
Byllabic accent Thus: ras, royam, rilya, riji, roy&B, rjl3^; ray&n,
t&bbTlbm, rfiy^Bi lijaa, rSy&B, r&bhlB, rftbby&a, rSyam, ruii. But
in the Veda the accus. pi. is either rBty&a or rayas; for accus. sing,
and pi. are also need the briefer forma ram (RV. once: ilyam does
not occur in V.) and r^ (SV., once); and the gen.-sing. is Bometimes
anomalously accented tiyaa.
c. The stem g& m. or f bull or com is much more irregular. In
the strong cases, except sccub. sing., it ia strengthened to gKii, form-
ing (like nftu) gftus. a^vftu, gavas. In accus. alng. and pi. it haa
(like rsi) the brief forms gam and glua. The abl--gen. sing, is s6b
(aa if from gu). The reat is regularly made from go, with the normal
endings, but with accent always remaining irregularly upon the stem:
thus, g&vft, g&ve, g&vi, g&vos, g&vSm ; g6bhyam, gdbhis, gAbbyas,
gd^u. In the Veda, another form of the gen. pi. is g6n&m; the nom.
etc. du. is (as la all other such cases] also givA; and g^m, g6s, and
g^ are not infreqoently to be pronounced as disaylUibles. As ace.
pi. is found a few times g&vsa
d. The stem dy6 f. (but in V. usually m.) sky, day la yet more
anomalous, having beside it a simpler stem dyu, which beoomes dlT
before a vowel-ending. The native grammarians treat the two aa

The stem d76 is inflected precisely like k6, as above deacribed. The

have not been specified above as belonging to the other or
loot-word division; and also, in the later language, most
of the I and ll-stems of the other division, by transfer to
a more predominant mode of inflection. Thus:
1. a. The great mass of derivative feminine fi-steins, subBtantive
and adjective.
b. The inflectlDn of theae stems has maintained itself with little change
tluough the whole hlitory of the language, being almost precisely the same

later laDgnage somewhat mixed with that of the otiier division, and so fU
dlfferont from the Tedlc inDeetton: see below, 363 g.
f. Toir few dGTlTatlye stems in 1 uo lecognized by the grammaiiana
IR declined like the lOOt-diTlsion ; the Vedic wotds of that class are, If .
letalned In nse, tTtnifenod to thia mode of inHectlon.
g. A very small number of mucnilne I-stema (half-a-doten) are in the
Teda declined aa of the derivatiTe dlTjalon: they are a few rare proper
names, install etc.; and r^trl and eixt '(only one case each].
3. h. The u-Btems are few tn namber, and are transfers from the
other dirisioit, assimilated in inflection to the great class of deriyattve
I-stems (except that they retab the ending b of the nom. sing.]-
363. EndiDfB. The points of dlstlnctian between this and the other
dlTUion are a» follows:
a. In nom, sing, the UEaal s-endlng is wanting: except in the Q-atems
and ■ very few i-etema — namely, lakfiml, tail, tantH, tandU — which
have preserved the ending of the other division.
b> The aoens. sing, and pi. add limply m and b respectively.
o. The dat., abl.'gen., and loc. alng. take always the fuller endings
ftl, Ka, Km; and these are separated from the final of the fi-stenis by an
interposed y. In Biahmana etc., 01 is generally snbatitaled tor Oa (8071i).
d. Befoie tbe endlnge a of Instt. sing, and oe of gen.-loe. du., the final
of S-etema Is treated aa If changed to «; bat in the Teda, the instr. end-
ing & very often (in nearly half the occnrrences) blends with the final to ft.
The yft of I-etems la in a few Tedio examples contracted to I, and even
to 1. A toe sing. In i occurs a few times.
«. In all the weakest esses above mentioned, the accent of an i- at
n-stem having acVe final Is thrown forward upon the ending. In tlie
remaining case of the same dua, tbe gen. pL, a n is always Interposed
between stem and ending, and the accent remaina upon the fanner (in RV.,
however, it is UBuall; thrown forward npon the ending, as tn i and n-stems).
f. In Yoc. liog., final. & beoomei ej final i and u are shortened.
g. In nom.-acc.-voo. da. and nam. pi. appeaia In I (and a)-Btems •
marked difference between the earlier and later langroage, the latter borrow-
ing the forms of the other dlviilan. The da. ending iu la unknown in

867. a. The oocnneDce of original adjectives in long final vowels,
and of compoands having aa final member a item of the first division,
has been snfficientlj treated above, ao far aa masonllne and feminine
forms are oonoemed. To form a neuter stem in composition, th« rule
of the later langnage is that the final long vowel be shortened; and
the atem so made is to be infieoted like an adjective in i or u (839,
341, 344).
b. Such neater foima are very rare, and In the older langnage almaat
nnknowa. Of neater« from i-tteme have been noted In tbe Veda onl;
hariqiijaja, tea. elng. (k muc. form), and auftdhlas, gan. ilng. («ame
aa maao. and tbni.); from fl'Steme, onl; a few ezamplea, and from atem-
fonng which might be mate, and fam. aUo : thus, vlbhn, subhu, etc. (nom.-
Kce. alng.: eompare 364); aapuft and msyobIi4vfi, inatr. alng.; and
mayobha, ace. pL (compare puru: 34Sk); from a-iteme occnr only half-
a-dozen ezamplee of a nom. atng. In ta, like the muc. and fern. form.
o. Componods having nonna of the second division as final
member are common only from derivatives in &; and these shorten
the final to a In both masculine and neater: thus, from a not and
pr^Jft progeny come the masc. and neat, stem apraja, fern. apr^S
childlen. Snch compounds with nonns in 1 and u are said to be in-
flected in masc. and fern, like the simple words (onl; with In and fin
in ace. pi. masc.); bnt the examples given bj the grammarians are
fictitious.
d. Sterna with ahortened final are occasionally met with: thna, ekn-
patni, kttalakfmi; and anch adverbe (neut. alng. accus.) u upabhftlmi,
abliyi^aylai. The etem atrl Is directed to be ahottened to Btri for all
genden.
368. It is conrement to give a complete paiadigm,
for all gendera, of an adjeotive-stem in ^ a. We take for
the purpose m^ pSpi evil, of which the femimne is usu-
ally made in ^ S in the later language, but in ^ I in the
older.

Stems in ff T ("^^ Sf^^' «r) .
860. This deolensioQ ia a compaiatively limited one,
being almost entirely composed of deiivative notuB foimed
with the suffix TT tr (oi fT^ tar), which makes masculine
nomina agentis [used also paitioipially], and a fair nouns of
relationship.
a. Bat it inclades also a few noons of relationslilp not made
with that snfGs: Darnel; darf m., wia^ and ii&aandr f.; aad, besideB
these, n( m., et^ (in V.) m., not (>d V.) f., sAvyafthf m., and the
fsmlnine numeralB ttsp and oRtasp (fot which, oee 463 e.t). The
femininee in tp are only mftt^, dnliit^, and y^tp.
b. The inflection of these sterna is qnlte close!; analogoas with
that of ateiDB id 1 and n (second declanaion); its peooliarity, as
compared with them, conaiats mainlj in the treatmeot of the atem
itself, which has a doable fonn, fuller in the atrong cues, briefer in
the weak ones.
370. Forma of the Stem. In the weak oaaee (excepting the
loc. sing.) the stem-finnl la r, which in the weakest cases, or before
a Towel-endlng, is changed regnlarlj to r (139). Bat as regards the
strong caaes, the sterna of this declension fall Into two classes: in
one of tbem — which Is very mncb tbe larger, containing ail the
nomitta agtntit, and also the nouna of relationship niptp and eT&sf,
and the irregular words atf and aavraft'^T — ^* F ^ vriddhied, or
becomes fir; In the other, containing most of the nouns of relationship,
with nf and xie(, the x is gnnated, or changed to ar. Id both classes,
the loc. sing, has ar as stem-final.
671. Endings. These are in general the normal, bat with the
dlowiog exceptions:
a. Tbe nam. alng. (nue. tnd f«m.) ends ilway* In K (toi orlgloal ars
OT in). The Toe. sing, endi In ar.

1. Otber liieguUrltleg of ni are the dng. dst. nAre, gen. n&rftB, and
loc. nkd. The Veda -writes always nfi^am in gen. pi., but Its p is In a
majority of oases metrically long.
J. The stem usf t. datcn has the toc. sing, ofar, the gea. sing, uei&s;
and the accns. pi. also aar&ii, and loc. sing, asrjtm (which Is metrically
trtsyllablo: nB^^m), as If in analogy vlth I and &-steros. Once occurs
usrf in loc. sing., bnt it is to be read as if the regolar tilsylUblc form,
u;&rl (for tbe exchange of a and ^, see 181 r).
b. From atf come only tieaa (ippsreDtiy) and Btfbhia.
L la the gen.-loc. dn., the T Is almost always to be read u a sepa-
rate syllable, j, before the ending ob; thaa, pltf&B, etc. On the oontrary,
n&nfcndarl is once to be read n&n&ndrl.
in- For oeuter forms, see belOM', STB.
ST2. Accent. Tbe accentuation foUowB closely the rulea for
1- and a-Btems: if on the final of the stem, it coDtinneB, as aonte, oo
the correBponding Billable throughout, except In the gen. pi., where
it may be (and in the Veda always is) thrown forward open the
ending; where. In tbe weakest oases, r becomes t, the ending has the
accent. The two monosyllabic stems, at and ett. do not show the
monosyDabic accent: thas (besides the forms already given above),
nf blilB, ntqn.
878. Examples of declension. As models of this
mode of inflection, we may take (torn the first class (with
QT^ &r in the strong forms] the stems ^1^ d&tf m. fftcer

stems ending in Consonants.
877. All stems ending in consonants may properly be
classed togethei, as foiming a single comprehensive declen-
sion: since, though some of them exhibit - peculiarities of
inflection, these have to do almost exclusively with the stem
itself, and not with the declensional endings.
878. In this declension, masculines and feminines of
the same final are inflected alike; and neuters are peculiar
(as usually in the other declensions) only in the nom.-aco.-
Too. of all numbers.
a. The majority of consonantal stems, however, are not
inflected in the feminine, but form a special feminine deriv-
ative stem in 1 1 (never in ^ &), by adding that ending to
the weak form of the masculine.
b. Exceptions are Id general the items of divisions A and B —
namely, the radical stems etc., and those in ae and la and na. For
special eaeea, see below.
879. Variations, as between stronger and weaker forms,
are very general among consonantal stems: either of two
degrees (strong and weak), ot of three (strong, middle, and
weakest): see above, 811.
a. The peculiar neuter forms, according to the usual
rule (811 b), are made in the plural &om the strong stem, in
singular and dual from the weak — or, when the gradation
is threefold, in singular from the middle stem, in dual &om
the weakest.

b. Ab in the case of Bt«ms ending in short Yowele [fiB;&ni,
vartfi, midhOol, dS^^ etc-), a nasal sonetimeB appears in the
special aenter plaral cases vhicb is fonnd nowhere else in inflectioD.
Thus, from the stems in as. io, ub, the nom.-acc.-Too. pi. in -SAsl,
-lA^i, -ilA^ are very ootnmon at every period. According to the
grammarians, the radical stems etc. (division A] are treated in the
same way; bnt essmples of snch nenters are of extreme rarity in the
language ; no Vedic text offers one, and in the Brahmsnas and Sutras
have been noted only -hunti (AB. vii. 2. 3), -vpia (PB. ivi. 2. 7 et al.),
-bhaiiji (KB. xxvii. 7), -bhfntl (QB. viii. 1. 3*), and •yuBJi (H!3. ii. 1.8);
while in the later langnage is found here and there a case, like
•qruntl (Rsgh.), •piiA;! i^\q.) ; it may be questioned whether they are
not later analogical formations.
980. The endings are throughout those given above (310)
as &e "noimal".
a. By the general law as to finals (160), the e of &e aom. sing,
masc. and fern, is always lost; and inegnlarities of treatment of the
final of the stem in this case are not infrequent.
b. The gen. and abl. eiog. are never distinguished in form from
one another — nor are, by ending, the nom. and accus. pi.: but these
sometimes differ in stem-form, or in accent, or in both.
381. Change in the place of the accent is limited to monosyllabic
Btems and the participles in itat (accented on the final). For details,
see below, under divieions A and B.

882. a. Foi convenience and clearness of presentation,
it will be well to sepaiate from the general mass of conson-
antal stems certain special classes which show kindred pe-
culiaiitiee of inflection, and may be beet described together.
Thus:
B. Derivative stems in as, is, ub;
C. Derivative stems in an (an, man, van);
D. Derivative stems in in (in, min, vin);
E. Derivative stems in ant [ant, mact, vant);
F. Perfect active participles in v&fis;
Q. Comparatives in ySbs or yas.

cially radical stems, or those identical in form with roots,

examples of transfer of sach to Hhort-vcirel-decleDeiansi but 1 or n or f
adds a t to make a declinable form: thni, -Jft, -qrut, -k^. Roots in f,
hovrever, as has jnst been seen [b], also make itemt in Ir or iir.
II. As rtgaidl the frequency and nse of these words, the tame is true
as was stated above respecting root-stems. The Veda offers examples of
nesily thirty such formations, a few of them (mft, At, stut, brfit, Trft,
and dyiit If this is taken from d7u] in independent use. Of roots in J,
t Is added by kf, Hhf, dbTf, bhr, vr, a;, apf, bj, and hvj. The roots
gK (or gam) and ban also make -g&t and -tUit by addition of the t to
an abbreviated form in a (thn«, adtavag&t, dTUg&t, dvlgat, navag&t,

snbstsntive use of tlieir adjective value: below, 400). Bnt the femi-
nine noan, without ohangiDg its gender, is often also nsed concretely:
e. g., dnili f. [yAraSy be inimkal) means harming, enmity, and also

some of the feminines have a completely concrete meaning. Throngh
the whole division, the maacnlines are mnch leas nnmerona than the

386. Strong and weak stem-foims. The distinotioii
of these two classes of forms is usually made either by
the presence or absence of a nasal, or by a difference in
the quantity of the stem-vowel, a^ long or short; less often,
by other methods.

a. Bespeoting their combination with the final of the stem, as
well as the treatment of the latter when it oooutb at the end of the
word, the rolea of enphonic combination (chap. IIL) are to be oon-
anlted; they require mnch more constant and various application here
than anywhere else in declension,
b. Attention may be called to a tew exceptional eases of combinalloD

dbOatTO, fiflrda, (Iffrvaiit, eto. (bnt also gfrran, glnra^aa).
d. The native grammar lets op a clasa of qnasl-ndical stems ' like

more a desideratife alem Jigamle than a cansatlTe slem gama;.
3B3. The stem kp t. uater ia inflected only in the plural, and
with disBimilation of ita final before bh to d (161 e): thus, Apae,
ap&a, adbhfs, adbhy&a, apam, a,paii.
a. Bnt KV. has the sing, luslr. apli and gen. ap&s. In the earlier

394. The stem puiha m. man is very irregular, snbstitating
pianidiB in the strong cases, and losing its b (necesearily) before

S0E. The stem patb m. road is defeotive in declension, forming
only the weakest cases, while the strong aie made from p&utbs or
pinthan, and the middle from patbi: see nnder an-atems, below, 433.
396. The stem d&nt m. tooth is perhaps of participial origin, and
has, like a participle, the forms diiiit and dkt, strong and weak:
thus (V.), dka, d&ntam, dat£, etc.; dat&« ace. pi. etc. But in tbe
middle cases it has the monosyllabic and oot the participial accent:
thns, dadbbJis, dadbhy&a. la aom. pi. occurs also -datae instead
of -dantae. By the grammarians, the strong cases of this word are
required to be made from d&nta.
897. A number of other words of this divisioti are defective,
making part of their inflection &om stems of a different form.

398. On the other hand, certain stems of this division, allowed
by the grammarians a fnli inflectioD, are used to fill up the defioien-
cles of those of another form.
a. Thos, Asfj D. hlood, g&krt n. ordure, yUcft n. liver, d6s n.

403. The root vah carry at the end of a componod is said by
the grammuians to be lengtbened to v&h in both the Btrong and
middle cases, and contracted in the we&kest caeea to ah, which with

etc.; bavyavibftu, haTyava^bbySm, bavySuhos; bavyavabas,
bavySohaB, Jtavydvi^bblA, etc. And qvetav&b [not quotable) is
said to be farther irregular in mailing the nom. eing. in t&o and the
vocative in vaa or tBs.
a. In the earlier langaage, only Btiong fonua of eompounda with vab

its B is changeable to |f even after au a-Towel — u alao in ita tingle oc-
currence as an Independent adjective (RV., tv&di ^f) — while it toma-
times remaina nnehanged after an i oru-TOwel; and its a ia either prolonged
or remains unchanged, in both strong and weak cMes. The quotable formt
are : -^i\, -f abam or -Baham or -s&bain, -aUtS, -situ or -oAhs, -^aliaa
or -9AI1IUS 01 -B&haB; -s&lia (du.); -;ahas or -sUuw.
406. The compound avay^ (v'yJ mafce offtring) a certain priat or
(BR.) a certain tacrifice is said to fonn the nom. and toc slug, avayaa,
and to make its middle casei froui avay&a.
a. Itt only quotable form is avayaB, f. (RV. aad AV., each once).
If the stem is a deriTative from ava + i/yaj coneQiaU, avayas U very
probably from ava-HF'y^ which haa the aama meaning. But aadbamas

in nom. aing. of the caae-ending a after long & for a final root-oonaonant
(d and f teepectiiely). Compare also the alleged qvetavfis (above, 40S).
407. Compounds with alLc or ao. The root ao or alio
makes, in combination with prepositiona and other words, s consid-
erable class of familiarly nsed adJectlTes, of quite irregular formation
and inflection, in some of which it almott loses its obanicter of root,
and becomes an ending of derivation.
a. A part of these adjectives hare only two stem-forms: a strong
in afic (yielding aa, from afiks, in nom. sing, maao.), and a weak in
ao; others diatinguiah from the middle in ao a weakest stem in o,
before which the a is contracted with a preceding i or a into 1 or tL

d. Still more irregular is tiry&iLo, of which the weakest stem is

other similar adjectives — as tav&s mighty, vedb&s pioaa ~ are without
corresponding nonoa.
b. Odginal adjectives in is do not occur (as to alleged desider-
atire adjectives in ia, see 398 d). Bat In na are fonod as man; ad-
jectives as nouns (about ten of each clasa); and in several instances
adjective and nonn stand side by side, without difference of accent
such as appears in the stems in an: e. g. tipus heat and hot; T&poa
wonder and leondtrful
418. Adjective compounds having nouns of this division as final
member are very common: thoa, BunUnafl favorably minded; dlrgli-
iyuB long-lived; (iikr&foolB having brtlliaui brightnest. The etem-
form is the same for all genders, and each gender is inflected in the
usual manner, the stems in (m making their nom. sing. maso. and
fem. in fia (like iSigLroB, above). Thus, from Bum&caa, the nom.

itizecy Google
157 Dbclbnsioh v., Stems m an. [—484
of the maBCuline, the vowel of the ending is prolonged to
3^ ft; in the weakest oases it is in general struck out
altogether; in the middle cases, oi before a case-eading
beginoing with a consonant, the final ^ n is dropped. The
^n is also lost in the nom. sing, of both genders (leaving
^ ft as final in the masculine, q a in the neuter}.
a. The peculiar cases of the neuter follow the usual
analc^ {811b): the nom.-aco.-voo. pi. have the leiigthening
to ^ S, as strong oases; the noni.-aoc.-Toc. du., as weakest
cases, have the loss of i? a — but this only optioiially, not
necessarily.
b. Id the loc. sing., also, the a may be either rejected or retained
(compare the correspondiDg usage with patems: 373}. And after the
m or T of man or van, when these ate preceded by another con-
BOuant, the a 1b alwaj^ retained, to avoid a too great accnmalation
of coDBonantB.
422. The vocative sing, is in masculines the pure stem;
in neuters, either this or like the nominative. The rest of
the inflection requires no description.
423. Ab to accent, it needs only to be remarked that when, in
the weakest caseB, an acute & of the suffix is lost, the tone ib thrown
forward upon the ending.

449. The feminine paiticiple-stem, as already stated,
is made bj adding ^ 1 to either the stiong or the weak
stem-form of ihe ma^c.-neut. The rules as to irhich of the
two forms shall be taken are the same with those given
above respecting the nom. etc. dual neuter; namely:
a. Participles from tenBe-Btems ending in unaccented a add T to
the strong stem-form, or make their feminine in anti.
b. Sn<ili ftre the bhQ oi nnaeeeiited a-elasR ind the iUt oi ya-ciui of

ditryanti ; frcm bnbhi^B ind bh&v&ya (de«ld. ind cans, of ytib^),
bdbbiifand and bhfiv&yants.
o. EiMpUoni to thli role ue now and then mat with, sTen from the
earliest period. Thna, RT. bae J&raU, andAT. tbe dettderatiTe slfBaaU;
In B. oeeoT vadaU, gocati, tppyatl, and in S. fnrthei tlffliatl, and the
caaaadve namayaQj whtle In the epics and later anch cues (Inclndtng
deiideratiTei and cinaatlTea) aie moie namerom (about Ilfty are qnotable),
though itlll only iporadic.
d. Participles from tense-stems in accented k maj add the femin-
ine-sign either to the strong or to the weak stem-form, or msj make
their feminines in &nU or in atf (vith accent as here noted).
e. Snch are the preaent-stems ot the tod or aceeuled &-cl&aB (751 ff.),
the B-fnlnraa (033 ft.), and the denominaUvea (lOSSS.): tbna, from ^tud
(stem tud&), tnd&nti or tndaUi horn btaaTi^yi (fnt. of yVtOi), bha-
vi^yinti or bbavlfyad; from derayA (denom. of devi), deray&ntl

f. The forma In 4ntl from thia claaa are the preTalllnf oneg. No
future fern, participle In atl li quotable from the older language. From
prei-'atems in & are found there piUatl and sULoatf (RV.), tndatl and
pinvati (AY.). From denemlnatlTaa, devayati (KV.), dnraayati and
^atruyatS (AT.). In BhF. occnre dbakqyaU.
g. Verb* of the ad or loot-elags (61 1 ff.] ending Id & are giren
b; the grammarlana the eime option aa leguda the feminine of the present
participle; thua, ^m yyi, yantJ or ySti. The older language aSordi no
example of the former, ao fat ai noted.
h. From other tense-Btems than those already specified — that
is to say, firom the remaining ciasaee of present-stems and irom the
IntensiveB — the feminine is formed in ati (or, if the stem t>e other-
wise aoeeoted than on the final, in atl] only.
L Thus, adati from ^Ad; JfihvatI from ybu; ynfijatj from y'ynj;
sunvati from ym; knrwati from ykj; kri^tf from ykn; dAdlqati
from d^dig (Intena. of ydlg).

b. mab&nt ffrtat; inflected like a participle, bnt with the Irreg-
olaritf tbat the a of the ending is lengthened in the strong formB:

C. pffant tfeekled, and (in Veda onl;) rd^a&t thming.

b; the gMmmBriana ta be only j&gantl.
e. rh&nt *miiS (only once, la RT., fhati).
f. All these form their feminine in atl only: thus, bfhati,
mahati, pffati and rdfati (contrarj to the rule for participlCB),
Jigatl.
g. For Halt tooth, which ii perhaps of partlciplU ori^n, see abore,

451. The pronominal adjectWee lyant and kiyant are inflected
like adjectives in mant and vant, having (46S) {y&n and klySn as
nom. masc. sing,, (yati and klyatl as nom- etc. du. nent and as

a. The too. sing, is in an, like that of the participle (in the
later language, namely: for tbat of the oldest, see below, 454 b).
The neut. nom. etc. are in the dnal only aU (or &tl), and In the plnral
anti (or inti).
b. The feminine is always made from the weak stem: thas mafl,
Tata (or m&tl. vka). One or two oases of nl instead of I are met
with: thus, antirratDl (B. and later], patlvatni [C.].

In the strong oases, including the nom.-aoo.-voc. pi. neut.,
the form of their suffix is ^fH vS^, which becomes, by
regular process (160), vKn in the nom. siug., and which is
shortened to ^^vsn in the voc. sing. In the weakest

oases, by nasalization or prolongation. They are much more
frequently and freely used in the oldest language than
later; in the classical Sanskrit, only a limited number of
such, oompaiatives and superlatives are accepted in use; and
these attach themselves in meaning for the most part to
other adjectives from the same root, which seem to be
theit corresponding positives; but in part also they ate
aztifioially connected with other words, unrelated with them
in derivation.

o. The tvo ioot« in I, pri and 911, form prdyas and prd^flia and
^r^yaa and Qr^fha.
d. From the loot of fjA come, wlthont strengthening, ^Jlyaa and
^Jiftha; but In the oldu language also, moie regularly, r^iyaa and
rtjlftha.
471. The suffixes of secondary derivation aie FT^ tara
and fT^ tama. They aie of almost uuestricted application,
being added to adjectives of every form, simple and com-
pound, ending in vowels oi in consonants — and this from
the earliest period of the language until the latest. The
aooent of the primitive remains [with rare exceptions) un-
changed; and that form of stem is generally taken which
appears before an initial consonant of a case-ending [weak
or middle form).
a. Examples (of older as wel) as later oooarrencel are: from
Towel-stema, prlyfttara, v&hnltama, raOiitara and rathltama (BV),
oAmtara, potftama, aadiTaktatara ; — from coDsonant-Btema, Q&ih-
tama, q&Qvattama, mr^arittama, tav&atara and tav&otamai tuvif-
(ama, v&pa^tara, tapaavltara, yaqaBvitama, bbiigavattara, bira-
QyavSfiiaattama ; — from compouDda, ratnadhatama, abhlbbiitara,
sukfttara, pOxbhittama, btaOylfthabhaktama, bhiindaTattara,
fuolvratatama, strtkfimatama.
b. Bnt in the Yeda tbe final n of a stem ii regularly retained; thns,
mBdlntara and madintama, vff&ntaina; and a few sterna oTon add a
nual: thuB, anrabhlntara, rayCntama, madb^ntama. In a case or
two, the strong item of a present participle is taken: thna, TTadbanttama,
B&banttama; and, of a peifeot participle, the weakeat atem: thaa, vldinQ-
(ara, ml^buft&ma. A feminine final I la shortened: thus, davltamS

more freqnent than those of the other: thas, In RT. tho itemB In tarn

as six to flye: bnt liter the former win a great ptepondetanee.
47S. These compaTatives and BoperlatiTfls are inflected libe
ordinary adjectivefi in a, forming their feminine in S.
473. a. That (espeolallr in the Veda) some stems which are
nouns rather than adjectives form derivatives of comparison is natural
enough, considering the uncertain nature of the divieioD-line between
substantive and adjective value. Thus, we have vir&tora, vir&tama,
T&hultama, m&t^ama, nftamo, maruttoma, and bo on.
b. The suffixes tara and tama also make forms of comparison
from some of the pronominal roots, as ko, ya, 1 [see below, 6S0);
and from certain of the prepositions, aa ud; and the adverbially used
aconeatlve (older, neuter, -taram; later, feminine, •tar&m] of a com-
parative in tara from a preposition is employed to make a corres-
ponding comparative to the preposition Itself (below, 1119]; while
•tax&m and -tamiLm make degrees of comparison from a few ad-
verbs: thus, natarim, natamim, katbaditarSm, kutaatarKm,
addh&tam^m, nleaistarlim, etc.
o. By a wholly haTbaiona_ combination, finding no warrant In tlie
earlier and more geuuloe DSiges of the laogaage, the snfllXBS of compariMD
la their adverbial feminine form, -tarftm and tamBm, are later allowed
to be added to poTBonal forma of verbs: thna, aidatetarim (R. : the only
ease noted in the eplos) i> more detpondmt, vyatbayatltarSm ditturbs
more, alabbBtataiftm oitaintd in a higher degree, hasifyatitarKm will
laugh more. No examplol of this nse of -tam&m are quotable.
d. The gufflxea of secondary compariwn aie not iDfceqnently added
to those of primary, (ormtng double comparatlTee and snperlatfTes : thus,
lariyaatara, Qreftbatara and ^^(hatama, pKpiyaatara, pftpi^flia-
tara and -tama, bhuyaataram, eto.
e. The use of tama as ordinal suffix Is noted below (4B7f J ; with
this value, it is accented on the final, and makes its feminine in I:
thus, qatatami m. n., qatatami {., hurtdredth.
474. From a few words, mostly prepositions, degrees of com-
parison are made by the briefer suffixes ra and ma: thus, &dbaro
and adbomi, ¶ and apamA, Avara and avami, 6para and
upamli, &ntara, &utama, param4, madhyami, oaram&, antltna.
Sdima, paqoima. And ma is also used to make ordinals (below, 487).

h. The fanns mtde with dirS ind trayas up more usual than ihose
with dvl and trl, which are hardlr to be quoted From the older literature
(T. and Br.). The forms made with aqtd (initead of a^td) are almoit ei-
clntlvely used In the older Uteritote (48S), and are not Infrequent In the
Utei.
477. The above are the DortanI ezpresaioDa for the odd niim-
bera. But equivalent BabBtitatea for tbem are also variously made.
Thus:
a. Br oae ot the adjectives Qua deficient and adhika redundant. In
composition with lesser uomberB whlrh are to be subtracted or added, and
eiUier Independently qnalifrlng or [more usually) in composition with larger
onmbers which are to he iiicreaaed or dimlnUhed by the others: ihue,
tTTuaafaiftl^ lixty deficient by three (1. e. S7); a^t&dlilkaiiaTatlh
nwty increaeed by eight (i. o. 98); ek&dUkaih fatam a hundred tn-
ereaeed by one (i. e. lOl); paficonaifa ^ataia 100 let* 6 (1. e. 9S). For
the nines, eapeclally, inch subitltutes aa ekoiiavlAQati^ SO hee I, or 19,
are not unoommon ; and later the eba 1 U left oiT, and QnavlAQatl etc.
have the same value.
b. A caae-ronn of a smaller number, generally Aa one ii connected
by ok not with a larger number from which It Is to be deducted: tll^^l,
iikaji ni trliLf&t ((B. PB. KB.) not thirty by one (30); dvitbhyfiih
a& 'qliim (QB.) not eighty by two (7S) ; pafie&bMr ii& oatvari fat^
(^B.) not four hundred by Jive (396) ; ehasmfia n4 paSoa^&t (in ordinal)
i9 (TS.); HkMayU [abl. fern.: 307 b) oipaacil^t ^» (TS.); moat often,
akia (1. e. i'ktt, irregular abl. for dkaamAt) nil vldfatfl; 19i 4k&ii ii&
Qat&in 99. Thii last torm ie admitted also In the later language; tbe
others are found In the Brahmanas.
o. Instances of multiplication by s prefixed number are occasionally
met with: thus, trl^ptA thrice seven; trinavA thrict nine; tridai;&
thrice ten.
d. Ot coarse, the numbsts to be added together may be expressed by
Independent words, with connecting and: thus, n&va oa navati? oa, or
n&Ta navatiq oa ninety and nine; dvtu ca viA^atf^ oa tioo and
taenty. Bat the connective Is also (at least, In the older language) not
seldom omitted: tbna, navatfr niiva 99; triA^&taifa trih 33; aqitfr
a^tftn 88.
478. The same methods are also variously used for forming tbe
odd numbers above 100. Thus:
a. The added number is prefixed to the other, and takes the accent:
lor example, ^ki^atam 101; a:^ttia.ttaa 108; tri&f&cobatani ISO;
aft&vififatlfatam 1^8; o&tu^aabaaram (RV. : unless the accent is
wrong) loot; o^tleahasraan 1080.

O. Syntactical cambiiiatlons ate made at cou-venience: for example d&fa
gat&ih oa no-, gat&in dkaib oa 101.
478. Anotber OBiial method (begioning in the BrAhmaoaa) ef
forming the odd numbera above lUO is to qnalify the lar^r nniober
by an adjective derived from tbe smaller, and identical with the
briefer ordinal (below, 488): thus, dvOdaq&ih qat&m. Hi (lit'ly a
hundrtd of a IS-iorl, or eharaeUritadbj/ 12); oatuqoatv&ri&f iib f atdm
idd; fat^aqt^di ^at^m IBS.
480. To multiply one number by another, among the higher or
tbe lower denomiuationB, the simpleat and least ambiguous method
ia to make of tbe multiplied number a dual or plural, qualified by
the other as any ordinary noon would be; and th I a method b a com-
moD one in all agee of the language. For example: pAfioa palLoK-
ijAtoB Jive fi/liei {S50}; niva aaTatAyaa nma nituliti (810); aqltibUs
tlB^bhia with Ihree tigMie* '\:H0); p&iioa ffttitni ^ve hundredi; trlfl

oatuatriAq^ qaXb S3t (not 768); dvi^mt^hai trlnl qat&ni 3eS; and
other like cuei. And even K. has trayah qataqat&rdli&h 360.
461. But the two factors, multiplier and multiplied, are also,
and in later uaage more generally, combined into a compound (accented
on tbo final] ; and this is then treated as an adjective, qualifying the
numbered noun; or else its neuter or ftminlne (in I) singular is used
aubstautively: thus, daqaqataa looo; qafqatftih padfttlbbil^ (UBh.)

is in many respects irregular. Gender is distinguished only
by the first fooi.
a. Bka one is declined after the manner of a pronominat adjec-
tive [like B&rva, below, 6S4); its plural is used in the eenae of tome,
certain ontt. ItB dual does not oocnr.

463. The nnmbera from S to 19 have no distinetion of gender,
Dor any generic character. They are inflected, Bomewhat irregularly,
as plurals, save In the nom.-acc., where they have no proper plural
form, but show the bare stem instead- Of f&q (as of catdr), nam
is the gen. ending, with mutual assimilation (108 b) of etem-final and
initial of the termination. A;(& (as accented in the older language)
has an alternative fuller form, aqt^ which is almost exclusively used
in the older literature (V. and B.), both in inflecUon and in compo-
sition (but some compounds with aff^ are found as early as the AT);
its nom.-acc. is a^^k (usual later: found in £V. once, and in AT.),
or ofta (BY), or oft&u (most usual in RV.; also in AT., B., and
later).

from dvida^a (according to the grammailaiu, either the penalt or the
llnal li accented In these forma in the later language). In the gen. pi,,
the accaut is on the ending (as in that of 1-, u-, and f-Btems): thus, pafi-
oadaqftnam, Baptadaf&r^n. The caaea of ^a^ and tiioae made from
tbe Btem-furm aft^, have the accent thioaghoat npon the ending.

486. Conatrnotlon. As regards their construction with the
noons enumerated by them —
& The words for i to /A are in the main used adjecdvely,-
agreeing in case, and, if they distinguish gender, in gender also, with
(he nouns: thus, daq&bMr Tirftif ""'^ ''" h^oei; ji devtt diyy
ik&dafa Bth& (AV.) what eleven godt of you are in heaven; pafio&su

Rarely occur such combinations as diqa kal&qSnftm ^KV.) ten pitcher*,
rtenfiih vat ;E.) six seatong,
b. The numerals above IB are construed usually as nouns, either
taking the numbered noun as a dependent geuItiTo, or standing in
the singular in apposition with it: thus, ^atadi dfts^i or qatadi
dlaiuKm a hundred tlavet or a hundred of tlaves; vi&qaty^ hirlbM^
teith twenty bagi; qaffyaih far&tBu iii 60 autumne; ifatiaa, p^&l^

gh&ia qakrd d&aynn&m (AV.) the mighty [Indra] tlexv a hundred, a
thoutand, a myriad, a hundred million, of demone. Occasionally they
are put in the plural, as if used more adjectivelyi thus, pafic&^od-

o. lu the older language, the numerals for 5 and upward are
sometime used in the nom.-acc. form (oi as if indeclinabty) with
other cases also: thus, pafioa Iq^tf^u among the Jive races; Bapt4
rfiqSifa of seven hi^ds; aah&aram ^Ibhl^ with a thousand barde;

Some of tho first ordloAlfi are irregularly owde; thus,
a< 6ka l forms no ordinal; instead is used praQuuaii (i. e. pra-
tama foremo$t); ftdya (from Odl beprnting) appears fint in the Sutras,
and &dim& much later;
b. from dvk 2, and trl 3, come dTttlra and tftij* (seooudarily,
through dvlta and abbreviated trlta);
o. oatdr 4, f&f 6, and aapti 7, take the ending tha: thus,
oaturtb&i fsfthd, aaptitha; but for feuriA are used also tnriya and
torya, and aapt&tha belongs to tbe older language only; pa&oatha,
tor /iflh, is excessively rare;
d. tbe numerals for 5 and 7 usually, and for 8, 9, 10, add ma,
forming pafioami, aBptai]i&, af(am&, navami, dafami;
e. for nth to I9t/i, the forms are ekAda^A, dvSdaqi, and so
on (the same with the cardinals, except change of aooent) ; but akK-
da^ama etc. oocasiooally occar also;
f. for the tens and intervening odd unmbers fh>m 50 onward,
the ordinal has a double form — one made by adding tbe full [super-
lative) ending tain& to the cardinal: thus, viAqatttami, trlA^attami,
aqltltamii, etc.; tbe other, shorter, in a, witb abbreviation of the
cardinal: thus, viA^A 90th; tTlikf& 30th; oatTftrlA9& iOth; paiLoftfi
6olh; faft& eoth; aaptati ?Oth; aQitA 80th; navati 90fh; and so

dTftpafioftq& B2d; eka^a^fd etsl; and ek&nnaviAfA and OnavlAqi
and ekonaTifiqA /9M; — and so on. Of these two forms, the latter
and briefer is by far tbe more cossmoD, tbe other being not quotable
from the Veda, and extremely rarely from the Br&hmanas. From iOth
on, the briefer form is allowed by tbe grammarians only to the odd
numbers, made up of tens and units; but it is sometimes met witb,
even in the later language, from the simple ten.
g. Of the higher numbers, 9at& and aahAara form gatatamA aod
aabaaratamii; but tbeir compounds have also the simpler form: thus,
ekaqatd or ekagatatama lOUt.

CHAPTER VII
PE0H0UN3.
480. The pronouDs differ from the great mass of doudb
and adjectives chiefly in that they come by derivatioa from
another and a very limited set of roots, the so-called pio-
□ominal or demonstrative roots. But they have also many
and marked peculiarities of inflection — some of vrhich,
however, find analogies in a few adjectives; and such ad-
jectives will accordingly be described at the end of this
chapter.
Personal Pronouns.
481. The pronouns of the frrst and second persons are
the most irregulai and peculiar of all, being made up of
fragments coining from various roots and combinations of
roots. They have no distinction of gender.

d. The abUUie mat is tccentleiB In ons or two AV. pMiiges.
482. Forms of the older language. All the forms given
above are found also in the older language; which, however, has alao
others that afterward disappear from use.
a. Thus, vre 'Bud a, few timee the luBtr. alog. tva (only RV.; like
manifa for manif&yfi); fnrther, tbe loc. or dat. ling. md (only VS.)
ind tv6, and the dtit. or loc. pi. aam6 (which ia by fii the commonest
of these e-formsj and yi^md: their Biial e la uncombinable (or pra-
gl^lTai 198b). The TS. makas tirice the ace pi. fern, yl^m^ (as if
yu^niMi were too diitinctiTely a masculine form). The datives Id bhyam
are In ■ number ot cases written, and la yet others to be read as if written,
with bhya, irlth Iota of the final naial; and in a rare Instance or two wo
have In like manner aomika and yOfinaka In tbe gen. plural. The asnal
retolotions of semlvawet to vowel are made, and are especially frequent in
the forms of (he second person (tii&m tor trim etc.).
b> But the duals, above all, wear a very different aspect euUer. In
Veda and Brahmana and Sutia the nominatives are (with occasional
exceptious) &vfcm and yaT&m, and only the accusatives Bivtia and ynTlun
(but In RV. the dual forou ot Ist peis. chance not to occur, uulesi In
viin[f], once, for Sv&m); the luetr. in SV. is eltber ynv&bhj&m (occurs
also once In AfS.) or yaTtbhTftm; an abl. ynv&t appears once in RV.,
■nd a,vkt twice In TS.; the gen.-loc. Is In RV. (only) yuv6s Instead of
ynT&yoB. Thus we have hero a distinction (elaewbere unknown) of five
different dual cases, by endings In part accordant with those of the olfaer
two nnmliers.
488. Peculiar endings. The ending am, appearing in the nam.
sing, and pi. (and Vedlo da.) of these pronouns, will be tonnd often,
though only In ting., among the othsr proDDUns. The bhyam (or bTam)
ot dat sing, and pi. ts met with only here; Its relationship with the
bhrKm, bhyas, bhls of the ordinary declension Is palpable. The t (or

These compounds are not rare even in the Veda: bo t&danna, tadWd.

Hspecially adverbs, as t&taa, t&tra, t&thft, tad^; tbe atyeotiveB tJE-

498. Though the demonstrative root ta ia prevailingly of the

Itself to be pieced together from a iiDmber of defective etems. Tba majority
of forms come from the mot a, vlth which, aa In the ordinary pronomlDil
declension, bhul (f. By) Is combined in the slngnlar. All these forms fiOQi
a have the pecnlUrlty that In tbelr substantive use they ate either accented,

ah&m and tv&m). The remaining forms are always accented. From nn&

In daat and plnral, and in part in singular, come not leas tegnlarly from ■

toation iamal, Aeya, abtiis.

mariaoB regarded aa repreBentative stem of this pronominal declen-
sion; itnd it is actoallf fonnd ao treated in a very small number of
compounds (Idamm&ya and Id&dirupa are of Brabmana age). Aa
regarda tbe actual atema, ana furnishes nothing further; from Ima
comes only the adverb im&tbft [RV., once); but a and i fumisb a
number of derivatlveB, mostly adverbial; thus, for example, Atas,
Atra. &tha, ad-dba (?|; IUb, id [Vedic particle], IdB, il^, ftara. im
(Vedio particle], tdf9, perhaps ev& and ev&m, and others.

ama (f. ay), and which shifCe to ami In part of the maso. and neat,

Interrogative Pronoun.
604. The characteristic part of the interrogative pro-
uomiaal root is ^k; it has the three forms ^ ka, 1% ki,
sR ku; but the whole declensioDa] inflection is from ^ ka,
excepting the nom.-acc. sing, neut., which is &om 1% kf,
and has the anomalous form 1^71 kJm (not elsewhere known
in the language from a neuter i-stem]. The nom. and
accus. sing., then, are as follows:

BOB. The grammarianB treat kim aa repreBentative stem of tbe

of words, of which a few — klmm&ra, kbhkara, klifakHmya, kiifa-
devata, klihQlli, and ttie peculiar kimyu — go bacl( even to tbe
Veda and Btahmana. In closer analoj^y with the other prononna, the
form kad, a couple of times in the VeUa (katpayi, k&dartha), and
not Infrequently later, is found as first member of compouTtde. Then,
from the real roots ka, ki, ku are made mnnj derivatives; and
from kl and ku, eBpccially the latter, many compouDds; thus, kfcti.

rarely, ko), at the beginning of componndi, have passed from an
interrogative meaning, through an escliuiiatory, to the value of pre-
fixes signifyiDg an unuBual quality — eitlier something admirable, or,
oftener, something contemptible. This use begios in the Veda, but
becomes much more common in later time.
507. The interrogative prononn, as in other languagus, turns
readily in ita independent use also to an exclamatory meaning.
Moreover, it is by various added particles converted to an indefinite
meaning: thus, by oa, oanik, old, 4pi, vi, either alone or with the
relative ya (below, Bill prefixed: thus, k&g obii& any one; nk k6

from the earliest period of the language has lost all trace
of the demonstrative meaning originally (doubtless) belonging
to it, and is used as relative only.

CHAPTER Vni.
CONJUGATION.
627. The subject of ooDJugation oi verbal infleotion
involves, as in the othei languages of the family, the dis-
tinctions of voice, tense, mode, numbei, and person.
A. Further, besides the simplei oi ordinary conjugation
of a verbal root, there are certain more oi less fully de-
veloped secondary or derivative conjugations.
828. Voice. There are (aa ia Greek) two voices, active
and middle, distinguished by a difference in the personal
endings. This distinction is a perrading one: there is no
active personal form which does not have its corresponding *
middle, and vice versa; and it is extended also in pait to
the participles (but not to the infinitive).
628. An active form is called by the Hlndn gntmm&rianB
parasm&l padam a icord for another, and a middle form is called
fttmane padam a word for one'a self: the terms might be beet para-
phrased by trantitwe and reflexwe. And the diatiDOtii>D thuH expressed
is doubtlesB the original foundation of the difference of active and
middle fonnsi in the recorded condition of the language, however,
the antithesis of transitiTe and reflexive meaning is in no small
measure blurred, or even altogether effaced.
a. In the epics Iheie Is mncb etbcement of the dliHnctloQ between
■ctlTB and middle, the choice of voice being veiy often dUeimined b]i
metrled consideration b alone.
680. Some verbs ate conjugated in both voices, others
in one only; sometimes a part of the tenses are inflected
only in one voice, others only in the other oi in both; of
a veib usually inflected in one voice sporadic forms of the
other occur; and sometimes the voice differs according as
the verb is compounded with certain prepositions.

6S1. The middle £oim8 outside the present-syetem (for
which there is a special passive iaflectioD: see below, 768 ff.),
and sometimes also withia that system, aie liable to be
used likewise in a passive sense.
682. Tense. The tenses are as follows: 1. a present,
with 2. an imperfect, closely related with it in form, having
a prefixed augment; 3. a perfect, made with reduplication
(to which in the Veda is added, 4. a so-called pluperfect,
made from it with prefixed augment) ; 5. an aorist, of three
different formations : ■. simple; b. reduplicated; o. sigmatic
or sibilant; 6. a future, with 7. a oondidonal, an augment-
tense, standii^ to it in the relation of an imperfect to a
present; and 8. a second, a periphrastic, future (not found
in the Veda).
a. The tenses here distingiiiflbed (io aecordance with pTeTsiling
naagej as imperfect, perfect, pluperfect, and aorist receive those
names fh>m theii corraspondenoe in mode of formation with tenses
so called in other Ungnsges of the &mily, eBpecittllj' in Greek, and
not at all from differences of time designated by them. In no period
of the Sanskrit language is there any expression of imperfect or
pluperfect time — Dor of perfect time, except in the older language,
where the "aorist" has this value i later, imperfect, perfect, and aorist
are BO many nndlBortminated past tenses or preterite: see belov,
under the different tenses.
833. Mode. In lespeot to mode, the difference between
the classical Sanskrit and the older language of the Veda
— and, in a less degree, of the Bt&hmaniae — is especially
great.
a. In the Veda, the present tense has, besides its indicative
inflection, a subjunctive, of considerable variety of formation, an
optative, and an imperative (In 2d and 3d persons). The same three
modes are found, though of much lees frequent occurrence, as belong-
ing to the perfect; and they are made also from the aorlsts, being
of especial frequency from the simple aorist The future has no modes
Ian occasional case or two are purely exceptional).
b. In the classical Sanskrit, the present adds to its in-
dicative an optative and an imperative — of which last,

583—] VIII. Conjugation. 202
moteoTer, the first peisons aie a lemnant of the old sub-
junctive. And the aorist has also an optative, of somewhat
peculiat inflefltios, usually called the piecative (or bene-
dictive).
584. The piesent, perfect, and future tenses have each
of them, alike in the earlier and later language, a pair of
participles, active and middle, sharing in the various pe-
culiarities of the tense-formations; and in the Veda are
found such participles belonging also to the aorist.
636. Tense-systems. The tenses, then, with their
accompanying modes and participles, h.\l into oettain well-
marked groups or systems;
I. The present-system, composed of the present
tense with its modes, its participle, and its preterit which
we have called the imperfect.
II. The perfect-system, composed of the perfect
tense (with, in the Veda, its modes and its preterit, the
so-called pluperfect) and its participle.
III. The aorist-system, or systems, simple, re-
duplicated, and sibilant, composed of the aorist tense
along with, in the later language, its "precative" opta-
tive (but, in the Veda, with its various modes and it«
participle).
IV. I'he future-systems: 1. the old or sibilant
future, with its accompanying preterit, the conditional,
and its participle; and 2. the new periphrastic future-
636. Number and Person. The verb has, of course,
the same three numbers with the noun: namely, singular,
dual, and plural; and in each number it has the three per-
sons, first, second, and third. All of these are made in
every tense and mode — - except that the first persons of
the imperative numbers ate supplied from the subjunctive.

6S7. Verbal adjeotives and douds: Participles.
The paitioipleB beloogiiig to the tenBe-eystems have been
already §poken of above (684). Theie is besides, coining
directly &om the lOOt of the veib, a participle, prevailingly
of past and passive (oi sometimes neuteij meaning. Future
passive participles, or gerundives, of several different for-
mations, are also made.
638. Infinitives. In the older language, a very con-
siderable variety of derivative abstract nouns — only in a
few sporadic instances having anything to do with the tense-
systems — are used in an infinitive or quasi-in&nitive sense;
most often in the dative case, but sometimes also in the
accusative, in the genitive and ablative, and (very raiely)
in the locative. In the classical Sanskrit, there remains a
single infinitive, of accusative case-form, having nothing to
do with the tense-systems.
680. Gerunds. A so-oalled gerund (or absohitive) —
being, like the infinitive, a stereotyped case-form of a de-
rivative noun — is a part of the general verb-system in
both the earlier and later language, being especially frequent
in the later language, where it has only two forms, one
for simple verbs, and the other for compound. Its value
is that of an indeclinable active participle, of indeterminate
but prevailingly past tense-character.
a. Another gemnd, an adverbially used accasative in form, ie
found, bat only rarely, both earlier and later.
640. Secondary conjugations. The secondary or
derivative conjugations are as follows: 1. the passive; 2. the
intensive; 3. the desiderative; 4. the causative. In these,
a conjugation-stem, instead of the simple root, underlies
the whole system of inflection. Yet there ie clearly to be
seen in them the character of a present^ystem, expanded
into a more or less complete conjugation; and the passive is

chapter devoted to that part of the iafleotion of the veib.
a. tinder the same general head belong! the subject of
denominative conjugation, or the conversion of noun and
adjective-stems into conjugation-stems. Further, that of
compound conjugation, whether by the prefixion of prepo-
sitions to roots or by the addition of auxiliary verbs to noun
and adjective-stems. And finally, that of periphrastic con-
jugation, or the looser combination of auxiliaries with verbal
nouns and adjectives.
641. The characteristic of a proper [finite or personal)
verb-form is its personal ending. By this alone is deter-
mined its character as regards number and person — and
in part also as regards mode and tense. But the distinc-
tions of mode and tense are mainly made by the formation
of tense and mode-stems, to which, rather than to the pure
root, the personal endings are appended.
a. In this chapter will be given & general account of the per-
Bonal endings, and also of the formation of mode'Stems from tense-
stemB, and of {bose elements in the formation of tense-stemB — the
aagment aod the reduplication — which are found in more thfui one
tense-aystem. Then, in the following chapters, each tense'System
will be taken up by itself, and the methods of formation of its Btems,
both tenBe-atems and mode-atema, aud their combination with the
endinga, will be deecribed and illuBtrated in detail. And the com-
plete conjugation of a fen model verba will be eshlbited in syate-
matic arrangement in Appendix O.
Personal Endings.
643. The endinge of verbal inflection are, as was pointed oat
above, different throughout in the active and middle voices. They
are also, as In Greek, naually of two aomewhat varying forms for
the same peraon in the aamo voice: one fuller, called primary; the
other briefer, called aecondary. There are also less pervading differ-
eneea, depending upon other condltiona.

ft; S48o]-, or, from ft-roots, fto.
b. The primary middle ending, according to the analogy of the
other persons, wonld bo regularly me. Bat no tense or mode, at
any period of the language, shows any relic whatever of a m in this
person; the primary ending, present as well as perfect, from a-stems
and others alike, is e ; and to it corresponds 1 as secondary ending,
which blends with the final of an a-stem to e. The optative has,
however, a instead of i; and in the subjunctive (later imperative]
appears ftl for e.
644, Second person, a. In the active, the primary ending
is Bi, which is shortened to e as secondary; as to the loss of this
B after a final radical consonant, see below, &&B. Bat the perfect
and the imperative desert here entirely the analogy of the other
forms. The perfect ending is invariably tha (or thft; 248o). The
imperative is far less regular. The fullest form of its ending is dhi;
which, however, is more often reduced to hi; and in the great ma-
jority of verbs (including all a-stems, at every period of the language)
no ending is present, but the bare stem stands as personal form.
Id a very small class of verbs (722-3), ftna is the ending. There is
also an alternative ending tfit; and this is even used sporadically in
other persons of the imperative (see below, fi70-l).
b. In the middle voice, the primary ending, both present and
perfect^ is ae. The secondary stands in no apparent relation to this,
being thSa; and in the imperative is fonnd only sva (or avS; 248 o),
which in the Veda is not seldom to be read as sua. In the older
language, ae is sometimes strengthened to a&l in the subjunctive.
546. Third person, a. The aetive primary ending is ti; the
secondary, t; as to the lose of the latter after a final radical con-
sonant, see below, 66S. Bnt in the imperative appears instead the
peculiar ending ta; and in the perfect no characteristic consonant is
present, and the third person has the same ending as the first.
b. The primary middle ending is te, with ta as corresponding
secondary. In the older language, te is often strengthened to tftl in
L.,j,i,....,LiOOgle

the subjunctive. In the perfect, the middle third person hu, like the
active, the enme ending with the Gret, namely e simplj; and In the
older langu&gc, tbc third peruon present also often loses the distinctive
part of its tcrmioation, ami comes to coincide in form with the first
land HS. has adnha for adngdha). To this e perhaps corresponds,
as secondary, the i of the aorlst 3d pers. passive (848 ff.). The Im-
petatlTe has t&m (or, in the Veda, rarely Am) for its ending.
640. Dual: First person. Both in active and in middle, the
dual first person Is in all its varieties precisely like the correspond-
ing plural, only with substitntion of v for the m of the latt«r: thus,
vaa fno vaei has been found to occur), va, vahe, vabi, vahSl. The
pprsoQ is, of coarse, of comparatively rare nse, and from the Veda
no form in voa, even, is quotable.
547. Second and Third persons, s. In theactive, the primary
endlog of the second person is thaa, and that of the third is tas;
and this relation of th to t appears also in the perfect, and runs
t!irou(;b the whole series of middle endings. The perfect endings are
priniHTy, but have u instead of a as vowel; and an a has became so
persistently pre6xed that their forms have to be reckoned as athna
and atus. The secondary endings exhibit no definable relation to
tho primary in these two persons; they are tarn and t&m; and they
arc used in the imperative as well.
b. Id the middle, a long a — which, however, with the final a
of a-stems becomes e — has become prefixed to all dnal endings
of the second and third persons, so as to form an Inseparable part
of them (lUdhltliSm AV., and jlbltham pB., are isolated anomalies).
11)0 primary endings, present and perfect, are fttlie and Ste; the
secondary (and imperative) are Btbjbn and SUbn (or, with stem-final
a, etli« etc.).

from athe and ete with iDbjanctive atrangtheDiDg (ttey are all detailed

648. Plural: First person, a. The eariiest form of the
active ending is maai, which in the oldest language is more frequent
than the briefer maa (in RV., as five to one; in AV., however, only
us three to four). In the classical Sanskrit, mas is the ezolnsive
primary ending; but the secondary abbreviated ma belongs also to
the perfect and the subjunctive (imperative). In the Veda, ma often
becomes mft '248 o\ especially in the perfect.
b. Tho primary middle ending is mabe. This is lightened In
the secondary form to matal; and, on the other band, it is regularly
liu the Veda, not invariably) strengthened to mah&l in the Bubjnnctive

once Id impv.). But In the perfect an; characteristic canBonaut is
wanting, and the ending is simply a. In the Veda, the syllable na,
of problematic origin, is not infrequently added to both fonjis of the
ending, making thaua (rarely thanft) and tana. The forma in which
this oconrawill be detailed below, under the different formaUons; the
addition la very rarely made excepting to persons of the first general
conjngation.
b. The middle primary ending is dbve, which belongs to the
perfect as well as to the present. In the subjunctive of the older laQ'
gnage It is aometimeB strengthened to dhvU. The sncondary (and
imperalavej ending is dhTam (in RV,, once dhva); and dhv&t is
once met witb in the Imperative (S71 d). In the Veda, the t of all
these endings is aometimee to be resolved into u, and the ending
becomes disayllabic. As to the change of dh of these endings to 4h,
see above, SS6o.
660. Third person, a. The full primary ending is onti in
the active, witli ante as corresponding middle. The middle second-
ary ending is anta, to which should correspond an active ant; but
of the t only altogether questionable traces are left, in the euphonic
treatment of a final n (307); the ending is an. In the imperative,
(uita and «nt&m take the place of anti and aote. The initial a of
all these endings is like that of am in the Ist sing., disappearing
after the final a of a tense-stem.
b. Moreover, anti, antu, ante, ant&m, anta are all liable to be
weakened by the loss of their nasal, becoming ati etc. In the active,
this weakening takes place only after reduplicated non-a-stems (and
after a few roots which are treated as if reduplicated: eSBS.i; in the
middle, it occurs after all tense-stems save those ending in a.
0. Further, for the secondary active ending «a there is a sub-
stitute us (or ur; 16&b; the evidence of the Avostan favors the
latter form), which is used in the same reduplicating verbs that
change antl to ati etc., and which accordingly appears as a weaker
correlative of an. The same as is abo used universally in the per-
fect, in the optative (not in the subjunctive), in those forms of the
aorist whose stem does not end in a, and in the imperfect of root-
stems ending in ft, and a few others (621).
d. The perfect middle has in all periods of the language the
peculiar ending re, and the optative has the allied ran, iu this per-
son. In the Veda, a variety of other endings containing a r as dis-
tinctive consonant are met with: namely, re (and Ire) and rate in
the present; rata in the optative both of present and of aorietj;
rite in the perfect; ranta, ran, and nun in aoristB (and in an im-
perfect or two); r&m and ratfim in the imperative; ra in the imper-
fect of dub (MS-)- The three rate, ratftm, and rata are found even
in the later language in one or two verbs !6&d).

651. Below are given, for convenience, to UbnUr form, the
Bohemes of endings ae accepted in the clafiBical or later language',
namely, a. the regular primary endlnga, used in the present indicative
and the future (and the subjunctive in part) ; and b. the regolar
secondary endiags, used in the imperfect, the conditiooat, the aorist,
the optative (and the subjunctive in part); and farther, of special
schemes, o. the perfect eudings (chiefly primary, especially in the -
middle); and d. the imperative eudings (chiefly secondary). To the
so-called imperative endings of the first person is prefixed the B which
is practically a part of them, though really containing the mode-sign
of the subjunctive from which they are derived.
662. Further, a part of the endings are marked with an accent,
and a part are left unaccented. The latter are those which never,
under any circumstances, receive the accent; the former are accented
in considerable classes of verbs, though by no means in all. It will
be noticed that, in general, the unaccented endings are those of the
singular active; but the 2d sing, imperative has an accented ending;
and, on the other hand, the whole series of 1st persons imperative,
active and middle, have onaccented endings (this being a characteristic
of the subjunctive formation which they represent).

of stronger and weaker form of stem in large classes of verba, stand-
ing in relation with the accent — the stem being of stronger form
when tbe accent falls upon it, or before an accoutiesa ending, and of
weaker form when the accent is on the ending.

Bo-called fint pereonB imper&tiTe, and in the nee (679) of Iha imper-
fect and aorist perBons without augment after mi probibitive. Id
tbe oldest period, however, it was a very freqoent formation, being
three or four times as common aa the optative in the Big- Veda, and
nearly the same in the Atharrao; but already in tbe Br&bmanaa it
becomes comparatively rare. Its varieties of form are conaiderable,
and sometimes perplexing.
658. In its normal and regnlar formation, a special mode-stem
is made for tiie subjunctive by adding to tbe tense-stem an a — which
combines with a final a of the tense-stem to 3. The accent rests
npon the tense-Btem, which accordingly has tbe strong form. Thus,
from the strong preeeot-stem doh (|/duli} is made the snbjnnctive-
Btem d6hai from Jah6 tyh-a), Juli&va; from yim^ iVToi), yimija;
from 8un6 (v'BU), BuuiiTa; from bh&Ta (i^hfl), bhivS; from tudA
(>^tadj, tndi; from uoy& (pass., v'Tae), noya; and so on.
S68. The stem thns formed is Inflected in general as an a-stem
would be inflected in the indicative, with constant accent, and S for
a before the endings of the first person (73S 1) — but with the follow-
ing peculiarities as to ending etc.:

661. la tbe middle, forms with seoondaiy instead of primary encl-
Ings are very rare, being found only iu the 3d pt. (where they are more
freqnent tban the primary), and in a case or tvo of the 3d alDg, (aDd AB.

qnent strengthening of e to fil in the endings. This is less general in the

Optative Mode.

paratively rare Dccnrrence in the language of the Yedae; but it gains
rapidly in frequency, and abeady In the Brahma^aa greatly out-
numbers the sabjuDctlve, and still later comes almost entirely to take
its place.
b. Its mode of formation is the same in all periods of the

666. A. The optfttive mode-sign is in the active voice a dif-
ferent one, according as it is added to a tense-Btem ending in a, or

the regular series of secondary endings, with, in 3d plnr., as in-
stead of an, and loss of the a l>efore it. After an arBtem, It is i,
nnacoented; this 1 blends with tiis final a to e (which then is accented
or not according to the accent of the a); and the e is maintained
unchanged before a vowel-ending (am. oa), by means of an Interposed
enphonlc y.
b. In the middle voloe, the mode-sign is I thronghont, and Uikm
the secondary endings, with a in Ist ning., and ran in 3d pi. After
an a-stem, Uie rules as to its combination to e, the accent of the
latter, and its retention before- a vowel-ending with interposition of
a 7, are the same as in the active. After any other final, the weaker
form of stem is taken, and the accent is on the ending (except in
one class of verbs, where it falls npon the tense-stem: see 646); and
the I (as when combined to a) takes an Inserted y before the vowel-
en dinga [a, AtUbn, Stam).

Uses of thb Modes.
Uses of the Modes.
672. Of ihe thiee modes, the imperative is the one
most distinct and limited in office, and most unchanged in
use throughout the whole history of the language. It signi-
fies a command oi injunction — an attempt at the exercise
of the speaker's will upon some one or something outside
of himself.
a. This, howevei (in Sanskrit as in other languages), is by no
means slvays of the same force; the command Bhades off Into a
demand, an exhortation, an entreatf, an expresBion of earnest desire.
The ImpeTBtiye also BOmetimes eignifies an assumption or conceBaion ;
and occasionally, hy pregnaat constractioD, it becomes the ezpTcssIon
of something cooditionBl or contingent; but it does not acquire any
regular uae in depend ent-oUnae-maki ng-
b. The ImpflratiTe Is nov and than used in an InUrrogatlte seDteDCe:
thua, bravihi ko 'dySi Va mayft vlTi^yatfim. (R.) *peak! who thall
rtoto be ttparaltd by mef katbam ete gu^vantah krlyantam (H.)
how are they to be made viiiuouet kasm&i pi^^Ui^ pradlyatAm (Vet)
to whom shall the offering be gioent
573. The optative appears to have as its primary office
the expTession of wish or desire; in the oldest language,
its prevailing use in independent clauses is that to which
the name "optative" pioperly belongs.
a. Bat the expression of deBire, on the one hand, pasBcs naturaily
over into that of requMt or entreaty, bo that the optative becomes
a softened Imperative; and, on the other hand, it cornea to signify
what is generally desirable or proper, what should or ought to be,
and so becomes the mode of prescription ; or, yet again, it is weakened
into signifying what may or can be, what Is Itkely or usual, and ho
becomes at last a softened statement of what is.
b. Further, tbe optaUve in dependent clanses, with relative
pronouns and co^jnnotlons, becomes a regular means of expreasion
of the condiHonal and contingent, In a wide and increasing variety
of use*.

674. The subjunctive, as has been pointed out, becomes
nearly extinct at an early period in the history of the
language ; thete are le£t of it in classical usage only two
relics: the use of its first persons in an imperative sense,
or to signify a necessity or obligation resting on the speak-
er, or a peremptory intention on his part; and the use of
unaugmented forms (670), with the negative particle ITT mi,
in a prohibitive or negative imperative sense.
a. And the geDeml value of the subjnuctive from the beglniiing
was what those relics would seem to indicate: its fundamental mean-
ing is perhaps that of reqaiBition, less peremptory than the imperative,
more so than the optative. But this meaning is liable to the same
modiflcationB and tranBitions with that of the optative; and sub-
junctive and optative run cloeely parallel with one another in the
oldest language in their use in independent clanaes, and are hardly
distingnlshable in dependent. And instead of their being (as In Greek)
both maintained in use, and endowed with nicer and more distiDctive
values, the Bubjnnctive gradually disappears, and the optative assumes
alone the offices formerly shared by both.
676. The difference, then, between imperative and sub-
junctive and optative, in their fundamental and most char"
acteristic uses, is one of degree: command, requisition, wish;
and no sharp line of division exists between them; they
are more or leas exchangeable with one another, and com-
binable in coordinate clauses.
a> Thus, In AV., we have in impv.: qat&ib. Jiva ^ar&dal^ do
thou live a hundred autumna; ubli&ii tl& Jlvat&ih jar&daf^ let &«m
both live to attain old age; — in Bubj., ady& jiTfinl let m» liv4 Oiia

jivema far&d&di qatani may we live Aundreda of aulumiu; airvam
iyxtx JIvyiEaam (prec.) I teould fain Uve out my whole term of life.
Here the modes would be interchangeable with a hardly perceptible
change of meaning.
b. Examples, again, of different modes in cotirdlnats construction
are: ly&m ague nitn pitiih vldeffa . . . navfiua pntrin m&hi^

&7fl. As examples of the less charaoterlatic use of subjunctive
and optatJve in the older language, in Independent clauses, may be
quoted the following: it shS ti gaooh&n nttarK yug^ (BV.) Ihote

and favorabh; ^bar-ahar dadj^t (^.) <m» should give every day.
677. The obos of the optative in the later language are of the
utmost variety, covering the whole field occupied jointly by the two
modes in earlier time. A few examples from a single text (MBb.)
will be enough to Illustrate them: uoclii;taiii nftl Va bhaSJiy&di na
kaiTilh pidadbtTanam I wiU not eat of the remnant of the tacrifiee,
I wiH net perform the foet-lavation; jfifttm vrajet let her go to her

678. The later use of the first persons subjunctive as so-called
Imperative involves no change of construction from former time, but
only restriction to a single kind of use: thus, divySva let u* two
play; klih karavK^l te what shall I do for theet
S79. The imperative negative, or prohibitive, Is from the earliest
period of the language regularly and nsaally expressed by the particle

The reUtiou of the imperfect to the aoriet conBtrnotiOD, in point of
freqaenc;, is in BV. about as one to five, Id AY. atill less, or abont
one to six; sod though instaaces of the imperfect are quotable from
all the older texts, they are exceptional and infteqaent; while in the
epicB and iater they become extremely rare.

langnege (unlets sppa, TA. L li; doabttess a bad reading for afpaa); but
in the epics and later the eonatmction begtni to appaar, and becomee an
ordinary torm of prohibition: thai, mfi prayaoohe "9vare dhanam (H.)
do not beitow trealth on a lord; aokhl mSi 'vaih vada (Vet.) friend,
do not ipeak that.
d. The (B. (li. 5. 1'] appesie to olTer a single example ot a Crne
subjunctive with mi, n{ padyftaii; there Is perhaps something wrong
iboot the reading.
«, In the epics and later, an aorlst form not deprived of augment ii
ocoaaionally met with after mfi: thus, mfi tvftdk k&lo tyagfit (HBh.)
let not the timepaei thee; ma v&llpatliam anv agfi^ (B.) do nolfoUoui
V^lCe road. But the same anomaly occurs also two or three times in the
cider langnage: thus, vyiipaptat (9^.), agfia (TA,), anRi^at (K8.).
B80. Bat the use also of the optative with ni not in a prohibitive
sense appears in the Veda, and iMComes later a familiar construction;
thus, n& ri;yema kad£ oan& [BY.) may ica suffer no harm at any
time ; ak oK 'tisf J^n n& Juhnyftt (AY.) and if he do not grant permierion,
let him not taciiffce; t&d u t&thil nk kuryfit (^B.) but he muei not
do that 10; na dlvfi gayita (^S.) let him not sleep by day; na trfidi
vidyuT Jaafil^ (HBh.) let not people knoie thee. This in the later
language is the correlative of the preBCriptive optative, and both are
eitreuelf common; so tliat in a text of prescriptive character the
optative forma may come to outnumber the Indicative and imperative
together (as is the case, for example, in Hann).
S81. In all dependent constructions, it is still harder even Id
the oldest language to establish a definite distinction between sub-
junctive and opUtive; a method of nae of either is scarcely to be
found to which the other doea not furnish a practical eqalvaleot-—

conditional, from the f\itnre'item ; while In the aorist snob a preterit
stands withont any correspondiDg present Indicative.
K87. In the early langoage, especially in the BV-, the occarrence
of forms identica] with those of sngment-tenses save for the lack of
an augment is quite frequent Such forms lose in general, along with
the augment, the specific character of the tenses to which they belong;
and they are then employed in part Don-modally, with either a pres-
ent or a past sense; and in part modaily, with either a sabjunotive
or an optative sense — especially often and regolarly after mfi pro-
hibitive (676) ; and this last mentioned ose comes down also into the
later language.

b. In AY., the numerical relations ate Tery different. The augment-
less forms are leas tban a third at many as the angmented (about 476 to

Reduplication.
688. The deiivatioQ of coajuga,tional and declensional
stems from roots by i^duplication, either alone ot alon^
with other fotmative elements, has been already spoken of
[260], and the foTmations in which reduplication appears
have been specified: they are, in primary verb-inflection,
the present (of a certain class of verbs], the perfect (of
nearly all), and the aorist (of a large number]; and the in-
tensive and desideiative secondary conjugations contain in
their stems the same element.
688. The general principle of reduplication is the pre-
fixion to a root of a part of itself repeated — if it begin
with consonants, the initial consonant and the -vowel; if it
begin with a vowel, that vowel, either alone or with a follow-
ing consonant. The varieties of detail, however, are very
considerable. Thus, especially, as regards the vowel, which
in present and perfect and desiderative is regularly shorter
and lighter in the reduplication than in the root-syllable,
in aorist is longer, and in intensive is strengthened. The
differences as regards an initial consonant are less, and
chiefly confined to the intensive; for the others, certain
general rules may be here stated, all further details being
left to be given in connection with the account of the sep-
arate formations.
690. The consonant of the reduplicating syllable is in
general the first consonant of the root : thus, ^US papraoh
from V^f^ praoh; WTJf 9i9ri from yfST 9ri; a^U bnbudh
from yWJ- But —
a. A non-aspirate is substituted in reduplication for an
aspirate: thus, ^ dadhs from yfJl; f^ blbhy from y^bh^.
b. A palatal is substituted for a guttural or for ^ h :

Accent of the Vert>.
681. The statements which have been made above, and those
which will be made below, as to the accent of verbal forma, apply
to those cases in which the verb is actual 1 7 accented.
a. Bat, according to the grammarians, and according to the in-
variable practice in accentnated texts, the verb is in the majority of
its occnrrences unaccented or tonelesa.
b. That ia to uy, ot couiee, the verb In itf proper rarma, ita personal
or lo-called finite formg. The verbal uonua and adjecllvea, or the infinitives
and paitlclplea, are BDbject to precUet; tbe aime laira of accent as other
nouns and adjectives.
692. The general rale, coveting most of the cases, is this: Tbe
verb iii an independent claoae is nnaccented, unless it stand at the
beginning of the clause — 01 also, in metrical text, at the beginning
of a pida.
a. For the accent of the verb, as well as for that of the vocative

CHAPTER IX.
THE FBESENT-SYSTEH.
509. Thb present-system, oi system of forms coming
iiom the piesent-stem, is composed (as was pointed out
above] of a present indicative tense, tt^ethei with a sub-
junctive (mostly lost in the classical language), aa optative,
sn imperative, and a participle, and also a past tense, an
augment-preterit, to which we give (by analogy with the
Greek) the name of imperfect.
a. Tbeae tormi often go Id Sanikrlt gTMnmug br the name ot
"ipeclil tenses", while the other tenM-systems ace styled "geneTkl tsnaes"
— u If tlie farmei vere made ^om i special tense stem oi modifled root,
while the Utter came, all alike, rrom the root Itself. Thets Is no reason
why end) * dltUnetion and notoencUtnra should bo letained; ilnce, on the
one hand, the "Bpedal tenses" come in one set of verb! directly from the
root, and, on the othei hand, the other tense-sy stems ate mostly made from
stems — aDd, In the case o( the aoiist, from stems baling a variety of fonn
comparable with that of present-steias.
600. Practically, the present-system is the most prom-
inent and important part of the whole conjugation, since,
from the earliest period of the language, its forms are very
much more frequent than those of all the other systems
together.
A, Thus, In the Veda, the occurrences ot personal forms of this syetem
are to those of all others about aa three to one; in the Aitareya Brahmana,
a* five to one; In the Hitopadega, as ali to one; in the Qakuntala, aa
eight to one; In Hann, aa thirty to one,
601. And, as there is also great variety in the manner
in which difTerent roots form their present stem, this, as
being theii most conspicuous difference, is made Ibe basis
of their piiaoipal classification; and a verb is said to he of
this 01 of that conjugation, or class, according to the way
in which it8> present-stem is made and inflected.

eos— ] IX. Preshmt-btbtbk. 228
602, In a Bmall minority of verbs, the piesent^tem ia
identical with the root. Then there are besides (excluding
the passive and causative) seven more or less different meth-
ods of forming a present-stem from the root, each method
being followed by a larger or smaller number of verba.
These are the "classes'* or "conjugation-claases", as laid
down by the native Hindu grammarians. They are ar-
ranged by the latter in a certain wholly artificial and un-
systematic order (the ground of which has never been dis-
covered); and they are wont to be designated in European
works according to this order, or else, after Hindu example,
by the root standing at the head of each class in the Hindu
lists. A different arrangement and nomenclature will be
followed here, namely as below — the classes being divided
(as is usual in European grammars) into two more general
classes or conjugations, distinguished &om one another by
wider differences than those which separate the special
608. The classes of the First or HON-a-CoNjoGATiON
re as follows:
I. The root-class [second class, or ad-class, of the
Hindu grammarians) ; its present-stem is coincident with
the root itself; thus, af ad eat; ^ i go; f^IH Ks sit; UT
y5 go ; fi:^ dvif hate ; 3^ dnh mHi.
II. The reduplicating class [third or hu-class);
the root is reduplicated to form the present-stem: thus,
^^ juhu from y^ hu sacrifice; ^^ da6& from y^ dft
ffive; f^ bibhr &om yij bhr bear.
III. The nasal class (seventh or radli-class) ; a
nasal, extended to the syllable 'I na in strong forma, is
inserted before the final consonant of the root: thus,
"^^ rundli (or "^HR ruQadh) &om y^ radh ohstrucl;
g^ yufij (or n^ ynnaj) &om vTOf yuj Join.
uiaii.zecy Google
229 CONJDOATION-CLABSKB. [—606
IV. a. The nu-olass (fifth oi bu-oIius]; the syllable
f nu is added to the root: thus, TR budu from yQ su
press out; ^ffS Spnu &om yWI &p obtain.
b. A ret; small numbei (only half-a-dozen) of roots
ending already in ^ n, and also one very common and
quite iiregulaily inflected root not so ending ^ kf make),
add 3 u alone to foim the piesent-stem. This is the
eighth or tan-olass of the Hindu grammarians; it may
he best ranked by us as a sub-olass, the u-olass: thna,
ag tanu &om yrJ^ tan stretch.
y. The nft-olass (ninth or krl-class); the syllable
^ nB (or, in weak forms, Rt nl) is added to the root ;
thus, ^fttnr krli^B (or ^hft krlvl) from yuft tel Jwy;
WJl BtabhnB (or frlHt stabhni) &om yTt^ Btabb estab-
lish.
eOi. These classes have in common, as their most found-
amental charaoteristic, a shift of accent: the tone being
now upon the ending, and now upon the root ot the class-
sign. Along with this goes a variation in the stem itself,
which has a stronger or fuller form when the acoent rests
upon it, and a weaker or briefer form when the accent is
on the ending: these forms ate to be distinguished as the
strong stem and the weak stem respectively (in part, both
have been given above). The classes also form their opta-
tive active, their 2d sing, imperative, theii 3d pi. middle,
and their middle participle, in a difl'erent manner &om
the others.
605. In the classes of the Sbcobd or a-CoirjuaATioi*,
the present-stem ends in a, and the accent has a fixed
place, remaining always upon the same syllable of the
stem, and never shifted to the endings. Also, the optative,
the 2d sing, impv., the 3d pi. middle, and the middle

paitioiple, are (as just stated] unlike those of the oUiez
noQJu^ation.
606. The classei of this oonjugation are as follows:
TI. The a-olass, oi unaccented a-class (first oi
bhn-class); the added claas-sign is a simply; and the
root, which has the accent, is (if capable of it] strength-
ened by gu;^ throughout: thus, H^ bhiva from yHf bhtl
he; •RT n&ys, &om y^ nl lead; ^f^ b6dha from y^
badh wai«; ^ vftda &om y^ Tad tpeak.
yn. The d-olass, or accented a-olass (sixth ot
tud-olass) ; the added claas-sigu is a, as in the preceding
class; but it has the accent, and the unaccented root
remains unstrengthened : thus, ^ tudi from y^^ tnd
thrust; ^ s^ji firom yTn a^j let loose; ^ suvi &om
y^ sfl give birth.
VIII. The ya-class (fourth or div-class); y» is
added to the root, which has the accent: thus, ^t°lX
dirya iiom y1^ div (more properly ^cf dlv: see 766)
plat/; R^ n&hya from y^ nah bind; "^^ knldhya
from y^i^ kmdh be angry.
IX. The passive conjugation is also properly a
present-system only, having a class-sign which is not
extended into the other systems; though it differs mark-
edly &om the remaining classes in having a specific
meaning, and in being formable in the middle voice
from all transitive verbs. Its inflection may therefore
best be treated next to that of the ya-class, with which
it is most nearly connected, difiisring from it as the
i-class from the a-class. It forms its stem, namely, by
adding an accented yd to the root: thus, ^PS adyi from
yVp^ ad eat; "^E? mdhTi from y^ rudh ohstrvet;
^^JS bndhyd &om 1'^^ budh ieake ; H^ tadyi from
yH^ tad thrust.

607. The Hindu grftUDurians reckon t, tenth clau ot onr-clua,
having » clus^ign &r« added to a etren^hened root (tbos, oor&ya
firom yonr), and na inflection like that of the other n-stema. Since,
however, this Stem is not limited to the preaent-atem, bnt extenda

extent a causative value, and may be formed in that valae firom a
large inmber of roots -- it will be beat treated in full along with
the derivative oonjngatloiis (obap. XIV., 1041 ff.)-
608. A small number of roots add in the present-system a oh,
or Bubatitnte a oh for their final consonant, and form a stem ending
In oha or ebk, which is then inflected like any a-etem. This Is
historioalty, doubtless, a true olaas^ign, analogooa with the rest; bnt
the verbs showing it are so few, and in formation so irregular, that
they are not well to be pat together into a class, bnt may best be
treated as special oases falling nnder the other classes.

its own endings [with yHH atftm in 3d pi. mid.) directly
to the loot-stem. The stem is accented and strengthened
in 3d sing, act.; elsewhere, the accent is on the ending
and the loot remains unchanged. The first persons, so called,
of the later language are &om the old subjunctive, and
have its strengthened stem and accent; they are repeated
here from where they were given above (614 a). In the 2d
sing, act., the ending is regularly (as in the two following
classes) iv dM if the root end with a consonant, and i^ bl
if it end with a vowel. As examples we take the toots
already used for the purpose.

624. In the Teda (hot hardly outside of the RV.) are found certain
2d ling, farms, having an imperative tsIdb, made by adding the ending si
to the (accented and strengthened) root. In part, they aie the only lool-forms
belonging to theiaota from which they come: (hue, J68i (for J6;9i,^m yju^),
dh&kfl, p&r^l (ypr pas'), praai, bhak^l, ratal, o&tal, ho^; but the
majority of them hue foiroa (one or more) of a loot-preseat, or sometimes
of a rool-aarlst, beside tbem: thus, k;6;i (ykql rule), J6fi, d&T;l, nakfl

la eomewbac disputed ; bnt they ire probably indicative peraona of tbe root-
class, used impetatiiely.
6SS. Forms of this class are made from nearly 150 roots, either
io the earlier language, or in tbe later, or in both: namely, from
about 50 through the whole life of the language, from 60 in the older
period (of Veda, Brafamana, and Sutra) alone, and from a few (about IIJ)
in the later period (epic and classical] only*. Not a few of these
roots, however, show only sporadic root-forma, beside a more usual
coDJugatiOD of some other oIhss; not is it in all cases possible to
separate clearly root-present from root-aorist forms.

become more frequent later, often esUblishing a new mode of present

b. A nnmbei of roots offer irregnlaritiea of inflection; these are,
in the main, pointed out In the following paragrapha
Irregularities of the Boot-ola&a.
630. Tbe roots of the ctasa ending in a have in their strong
forms tbe v^ddhl instead of the gima-streagthening before an ending
beginning with a consonant; thus, from yata, atfiiimi, &atsnt, and
the like: but Aatavtun, st&Tftnl, etc.

627. Tbe root mji also baa the TTddhl-Towel in its atrong
forms: thus, mlt^fml, iim&rjain, 4m&rt (160b); and the same streng-
thening is said to be allowed in weak forms before endings beginning
with a vowel: thus, mSiJantn, amKrJao; but the only quotable case
is m&^ta (LCS)- Forms from a-stems begin to appear already
in AV.
a. In the otb«r Unse-Bystems, also, and in derlTation, tufj shows oftan
the TTddbi Inatead of the gnna-itrengtheniug.
628. A number of roots accent the radical syllable throughout,
both in strong and in weak forms: thus, all those beginning with a
long vowel, fia, i^ Ir, li^; and also oak;, tak;, tr&, niiiB, tob cloth*,
qljlji 9I tie, and afi. All these, except takf and trS (and trll also in
the Vedic forms), are ordinarily conjugated in middle voice only.
Forms with the same irregular accent occur now and then in the Veda
from other verbs: thus, m&tsva, y&k^vtt, B&kova, sik^va, fdbat.
Middle participles so accented have been noticed above (616 d).
629. Of the roota mentioned in the laat paragraph, ^ lie baa
the gu^a-strengthening throughout: thus, 9&7«i f ^9e< f^v^n, g&y&na,
and so on. Other irregularities in its inflection (in part already noticed)
are the 3d pi. persons q^rate (AV. etc. have also qAto), Qdratim,
itforata (RV. has also Aqersn), the 3d sing, prea q&;e (R.) and impT.

On the other hand, y'an early makes forma from an a-item: tbns, &aatl
(AV.); pple inant (^B.); opt. anet (AB.)-
932. The root bru tpeak, eaii (of very frequent use) takes the
union-Towel I after the root when strengthened, before the initial
consonant of an ending: thns, br&vimi, brkVi^, br^viti, ibrayis,
&bravlt; bnt brfim&a, briiy£m, &bravam, &bmvaa, etc. Special
occasional Irregularities are bruml, bravlhl, abruTam, abrQvan,
brajr&t, and sporadic forms irom an a-stem. The eubj. dual br&v&ite
has been noticed above (61B); also tbe strong forms abravita,
ftbravitana {631 a).
633. Some of the roots in u are allowed to be inaecCed lite bru;
namely, ka, tu, ru, and atu; and an occasional instance Is met wfth of
a form so made (in the older language, only tavitl noted; in the Jatsi,
only Btavimi, once).
634. The root am (hardly found in the later Ungnage) takes I ai
nniou-vowel; thus, amlfl (RV,), amltl and Smlt and amifva (TS.). From
y^am occur ^audgva (VS.; TS. qami^va) and ^amldhTam (TB, etc.).
63&. The irregularities of i/^Ub in the older language have been
already in part noted: tbe 3d pi, Indlc. mid. dnbatd, dotard, and dutarita;
3d sing. Impr. duh^m, pi. duhram and duhrat&m; impf. act. 3d sing,

648. a. As legards the oonsonant of the reduplication,
the geaeral rules which have already been given above (890)
are followed.
' Xi. A long vowel is shortened in the reduplicating syl-
able: thus, ^ dadS from v^ dS; f^Ht bibhl firom y^ bhi;
^ jubll from y^ htt. The vowel K r never appears in the
redapUcation, but is replaced by ^ t: thus, ^^ blbhr from

interpoaed 7: thos, lyar and iyr (the ]att«r has not been found in
actual nse).
044. The present-stem of this class [as of the other
classes beloogii^ to the first or non-a-conjugation] has a
double form: a stronger form, with gunated lOot-vowel;
and a weaker form, without gnva: thus, from y^ liu, the
two forma are ^f juho and agT Juliu; from y>ft bhI, they
are ^^ bibhe and f^^ bibbl. And the rule for their use
is the same as in the other classes of this conjugation: the
strong stem is found before the unaccented endings (SS3],
and the weak stem before ihe accented.

040. According to all the wtalogieH of the first general ooi^a-
gatioD, we Bhonld expect to find the accent upon the root-syllable
when thU is stiengthened. That is actnallj the case, however, only
in a small minority of the roots composing the class : namely, in hu,
bbl [00 test-fonns Id the older language], hri (no test-forms found in
the older langnage), mad (veiy rare), Jan (no forms of this olass
found to occur), ol notica (in Y.), yu ttparaU (in older laogaage only),
and in bhf in the later language (in V. it goes with the minority:
but RV- has blbbArti once, and AV, twice; and this, the later
accentuation, is found also in the Brithmanas); and RV. haa once
IrArfl. In all the rest ~ aiqtareDtly, by a recent transfer — it rests
npon the reduplicating instead of npon the radical syllable. And in
both classes alike, the accent is anomalously tbrowD back upon the
rednplioation In those we>^ forms of which the ending b^ns with
a TOwel; while in the other weak forms it is upon the ending [but
compare 666 a).

648. The subjunctive mode-Btem ia formed in the saoal manner,
with the mode-sign a and cnna of the root-vowel, if this is capable
of snoh strengthening. The evidence of the few accented forma met
with indicates that the accent is laid in accordance with that of the
strong indicative forms: thoB fWim yhu, the stem wonid be Juh&va;
from ybbf. It would be bibtaara (but blbb&ra later). Before the

about three fifths of them, the forms are qnotable only from tbe older
language, and for half-a-dozen they make their first appearance later;
for less than twenty are they in nse through tbe whole life of the
language, from tbe Veda down.

7SB. a. Tbe roots ending in a shorten that vowel before the
class-sign: thus, from yp% pnuiti and punlt6; in like manner also
JO, dhfl, la.
b. The root vll (B.3.) foims either vlmfi or vlinS.

to grbta or sr^.
a. As the perfect alao in weak forms baa gfbta or gp'^ '* '^ v*
easy to sea why tbe grammarians abonld not faaTe written p Inatead of ra
in tbe root.
730. a. A few of the roots have a more or less persistent nasal
in forms outside the present-system; such are without nasal before
the class-sign: thus, gratta or graatli, badh or bandta, math or
mantta, akabh or skambh, stabh or Btambta.
^bJThe root J&S also loses its nasal before the class-atgn; thus,
731. Not rarely, forms showing a Iranefer to the a-oODJngation
are met with : thus, even in BV., minaCi, mlnat, amlnanta. from
ytDi; in AV., fiT^a from Vft; later, grb^a, Jftna, prii^ mattana,
etc. And from roots pj and vaj are formed the stems pf^ and
m{^, which are inflected after the manner of the i-cUss, aa if from
roots pf9 and 11179.
782. Id the Veda, an apparently denominative inflection of a
stem Id &y& is not infrequent beside the conjugation of roots of this
class: thos, grbbaji, mattaST&tl, a^rath^aa, akabhSy&ta, aatabb-
Kyat, pmfar&nte, mufSyAt, and so on. See below, 106eb.

783. We come now to the clawes which compose the
Seooad ot ft-Coajugation. lliese aie more markedly
nmilar in theii mode of inflection than the preceding classes;
their common characteristics, already stated, may be here
repeated in summary. They are: 1. A final a in the present-
stem ; 2. a constant accent, not changing between stem and
ending; 3. a briefer form of the optative mode-sign in the
active, namely I instead of 7ft (combining in both voices
alike with a to e); 4. the absence of any ending (except
when tst is tued] in 2d sing. impv. act.; 5. the conversion
of initial B of the 2d and 3d du. mid. endiogs with final a
of the stem to e; 6. the use of the full endings ante* ante,
ant&m in 3d pi. mid. forms; 7. (he invariable use of an
(not na] in 3d pi. impf. act.; S. and the use of mBna instead
of &na as ending of the mid. pple. Moreover, 9. the stem-
final a becomes S before m and t of Ist personal endings —
but not before am of Ist sing, impf.: here, as before the
3d pL endings, the stem-final is lost, and the short a of the
ending remains (or the contrary): thus, bhdvanti (bhiva-|-
anti), bb&vonte (bhiva -(- ante , Abbavam (ibhava-(-am).
«. All these chaiacteristicB belong not to the indecdon of the
a-present-ayBUm alone, bnt &lso to that of the a-, rednpl lasted, sad
sa-aorista, the s-fdtnie, ftnd the desiderative, caosstive, and demon-
inatlve preaent-stems. That ia to aa^, wherever in conjugation an
a-atem ia found, it is Inflected in the same manner.
VI. A-c)ass (first, bbft-ciass).
784. The preaent-stem of this class is made by adding
9 a to the root, which has the accent, and, when that is
possible (2SB, 240), is strengthened to gu^ia. Thus, ^
bh&VB from y^ bbD; sHT jAya from v^ ji; ^^ bodha from
V^q budh; Wf s&rpa from yw\ syp; — but ^ vida from
V^ vad; ?Rte kri^A &<>" V^^ krl^.

larger, or nearly one half the whole number of present-steins : namely,
over two hnndred in both earlier and later language, one hnndred

IX. Accented ra-class: Passive conjugation.
768. A certain foim of preseat-stetn, inflected with middle
endings, is used only in a passive sense, &nd is formed
from all loots fot which there is occasion to make a. passive
conjugation. Its sign is an accented U yi added to the
root: thus, ^^ hanyd from y^ han slay, W^ 5pyi
from v5iq Sp obtain, IRET ex^^ fto™ V^ gTh {or grab)
seize: and so on, without any reference to the class accord-
ing to which the active and middle forms are made.
760. The form of the root to which the pasBive-sigD Is added
is (BiDCe the accent is on the sign) the weak one: thus, a pennltim&te
nasal [e dropped, and any abbreviation which ie made in the weak
forms of the perfect (794], in the aoriat optative (929 b), or before
ta of the pusive participle (964), is made also in the psBsive present-
system: thns, b^j6, from yaftj, badliy& from )<l)andli, aajk from
Vvao, ijyA from VyaJ.
770. On the other hand, a final vowel of a root is in general
liable to the same chaoges as in other parts of the verbal system
where it is followed by y: thus —
a. Final i and u are lengthened^ thuB, miy& from yml; a&yi
from yen;
b. Final S is usually changed to i: thus, diy& from ydl; hiy&
from v^ft: but jiUyi from j/ifiKi and so Uiy&y&, kIiKy&, nmSyi, etc.;
o. Final r i" i" KCoeral changed to ri: thns, kriyi from ykp;
bat if preceded by two consonants (and also. It is claimed, in the root
f), It has instead the gu^a-strengthening: thus, smaryi from ytmf
(the only qnotable case); — and in those roots which show a change
of r to It and ur (so-called ^verbs: see S42), that change is made
here also, and the vowel is lengthened: thus, qlry& from ytj^; pOryi
from ypf.
771. The inflection of the passive-stem is precisely like
that of the other a-stems ; it differs only iu accent from that
of the olasB last given. It may be here presented, therefore,
in the same abbreviated form:

Characteristics of the Pehfeot.
CHAPTER X.
THE PEEFECT-STSTEM.
780. Thb petfect-system in the later language, as baa
been seen above (B3B), consists only of an indicative tense
and a participle — both of them in the two voices, active
and middle.
a. In the oldest language, tbe perfect has also its modei and
its augment -preterit, or pluperfect, or is not less full in its apparatus
of forms than is the preBeDt-Bystem (see SOS CF.).
781. The foimation of the perfect is essentially alike
in all veibs, differences among them being of only subord-
inate consequence, or having tbe character of irregularities.
Tbe chaiacteristics of the formation are these:
1. a stem made by reduplication of the root;
2. a distinction between stronger and weaker forms of
stem, the former being used (as in presents of the First
or non-o-conjugationj in tbe singvl&i active, tbe latter in
all other persons;
3. eadiogs in some lespecta peculiar, unlike those of
the present;
4. tbe frequent use, especially in the later language, of
a union-vowel ^ i between stem and endings.
7S2. Reduplication. In roots beginning with a con-
sonant, the reduplication which forms the perfect-stem is
of the same character with that which forms the present-
stem of the reduplicating conjugation-class (see 648] — but
with this exception, that radical Q a and ^ ft and ^ r (or
5^ ftr) have only sj a, and never ^ i, as vowel of the re-
duplicating syllable: thus, from )/q PT_fill comes the preaent-
.stem f^q pipr> but tbe perfect-stem tpn papr; from yij\ mS

stem ifiTT mamK; aad so on.
a. IcieguUrltles of TooMTKhlnitlsl coniiHiaDti will b«gl<enbe)o«, 784.
7S8. For roots b^Qniog mth a vowel, the tules of
reduplication ate these:
a. A root with initial 9 a before a single final consonant
repeats the ^ a, which then fuses with the radical vowel to ^&,
(throughout the whole inflection): thus, iffl^' ftd horn v^ »d
eai; and in like manner CfH ij, ETR ftn, tTTH Sb, sn^ Bb. The
root ?? T forms likewise throughout STF^ Br (as if from ^ ar),
b. A root with ^ i or 7 a before a single final conso-
nant follows the same analogy, except in the strong forms
(sing, act.); here the vowel of the radical syllable has gu^,
becoming ^ e oi ^ o; and before this, the leduplicatii^
vowel maintains its independent form, and is separated bam
the radical syllable by its own semivowel : thus, from i^
if comes ^ If in weak forms, but ^(^ iyep in strong; Irom
yZ^ uo, in like manner, come ^Si^Qo and 3?)? uvoe. The
root ^ i, a single vowel, also falls under this rule, aad forms
^ ty (y added before a vowel] and ^ iya.
o. Roots which begin with vowels long by nature or by
position do not in general make a peifect-system, but use
instead a periphrastic formation, in which the perfect tense
of an auxiliary verb is added to the accusative of a verbal
noun [see below, ehap. XV.: 1070 ff.).

a. The root vid hum has, from the earliest period to the latest,
a perfect without reduplication, but otherwise regutarlj made and
inflected: tbna, vida, v6ttha, etc., pple vldviAa. It has the mean-
ing of a present. The root vid ^nd forms the regular vlvAda.

796. Those of the endings which b^n with a con-
sonant — namely E[ tha, ^ va, IT ma in active ; H se, sj^
Tahe, R% mahe, 3 dhve, ^ re in middle — are veiy often,
and in the later language usually, joined to the base with
the help of an interposed union-vowel ^ i.
a. The nalon-ioirel 1 is found wtdel; otei also in otbet ptkrU of the
general leibsl syitem : namely, in the aiUluit aorlEt, the futnies, and the
lerbal noani and adJectiTee (as also In other clasaea of derliatlTe ttcms).

b. The perfect is the tense in which the use of 1 bu establisbed
iteelf most widely &Dd firmlj in the later language.
797. The most important rules as to the use of ^ i in
the later language are as follows:
a. The "^ re of 3d pi. mid. has it always.
b. The other consonant-endings, except ^ tha of 2d
sing, act., take it in nearly all verbs.
o. But it is rejected thronghoat by eight verbs — namely Icp make,
bhf bear, sf go, vf dtooee, dm run, 9ra hear, stu praite, srajlou)]
and it ie allowably (not nsnallyj rejeet«d by some others, in general
accordance with their nsage in other formations.
d In 2d sing, act., it is rejected not only, by the eight
verbs just given, but also by many others, ending in vowels
or in consonants, which in other formations have no ^ i;
but it is also taken by many verbs which reject it in other
formations; — and it is optional in many verbs, including
those in StT fi (of which the ^ S is lost when the ending
is ^ itba), and most of those in ^ i, | I, and 3' u.

f. With tbia i, a final radical i or i is not combined, bnt chang-
ed into y or iy. The Q of ybbH becomes Qt throughout before a
798. Id the older language, the usage is in part quite other-
wise. Thus :
a. la the RV., the anion-^owel i ia taken by moti ending In cod-

the later. Tbnai for roota in & the rale la the aune (except that no 2d
alng. in itha ia met with), aa dadlilm&, dadlLi;^, dadhldhvi, dadliird

found, againat the later mlea, su^uma, olcytiqe, Jutauri, and JataOrA,

B02. The ending of the active participle is ^fH tSAb
(that is to say, in the ationg foims: it is contracted to 3?
lif in the weakest, and replaced bj ef?J y&t in the middle
foims: see above, 468 ff.). It is added to the weak form
of the perfect stem — as shown, for example, in the dual
and plural of the active inflection of the given verb; and,
roeohanically, the weakest participle-stem is identical vrith
the 3d pi. active. Thus, ^tiUlH bubudhvSAs, fMHl^lfl
ninlvi&B, g^jcftn cakrvR£kB.
903. If the weak form of the perfect stem is monosyl-
labic, the ending takes the union-vowel ^ i [which, however,
disappears in the weakest cases): thus, FTf'i^n tenivSA,a,
■JTRinIh noivSAs, nf^Rt? JajfiiT5]^, Qlf^eilH ftdivK^ (from
y^ id: 788a), and so on; ^1^1^ dadiviA^ and its like,
from roots in ^ &, are to be reckoned in the one class or
the other according as we view the ^ i as weakened root-
vowel or as union-vowel (794, 1).

Uodea of the Perfect.
808. Modes of the perfect belong only to the Vedic langasge,
and even are seldom found outside of the Big- Veda
a. To diaw the line sviely and distinctly between tbaae and the
mode-forms from other lednplicated tense-stems — the present-ttem of the
rednpllcating clus, the rednplloaled aorlst, and the intensive — is not pos-
sible, since no criterion of form exists which does not in gome cases faii, and
sluce the geueial eqnlralence of modal forma &om ail stems (582), and the
nommon use of tbf> perfect u a present In the Veda (823), deprive na of
a criterion of meaning. There can be no reasonable doubt, however, that
n conaiderable body of forms are to be reckoned here; optatives like &aa-
QyBm and babhOyOs and babhilyat, Imperatives lilie babhQta, sQbJanc-
tives like JabhArat, show such dUtinctlie characteristics of the perfect
formation that by their analogy other similar words are confidently classed
as belonging to the perfect
809. The normal method of making such forms would appear
to be as follows: &om a reduplicated perfect-stem, as (for example)
mnmuo, an imperative would be made by simply appending, as
usual, the imperative endings; the derived enbjunctive mode-stem
would be mum6oa (accented after the analogy of the strong forms

of the perfeot lodioative), uid would take either primary or secondary
endiugB; and the optative mode-atems would be mTunuoya in the
active, and miunu<d (accent on personal endiogs) in the middle-
And the great majority of the forms io question (about three
qnartera) are made in these ways. Thus:
810. Examples of the regular subjunctive formation are:
a, with secondary endings, actUe: 2d ling., papT&thas, oftk&nas,
m&inUuui, pipr&yae, bnbodhas, rftr&^BS; 3d ilDg.,oftk&nHt, jnbh&rat,

Varieties of Aorist.
CHAPTER XI.
THE AOEIST SYSTEMS.
624. Under the name of aoiiat aie iacluded (as was
pointed out above, 532) three quite distinct fotmations, eaoh
of whioh has its sub-Tarieties: namely —
I. A SIMPLE AORIST (equivalent to the Greek "seoond
aorist'^, analogous in all respects as to foim and inflection
with the impeifeot. It has two varieties: 1. the loot-aotist,
with a tense-stem identical with the root (coiiesponding
to an imperfect of the loot-class); 2. the a-aorist, with a
tense-stem ending in Q &, oi with union-vowel Q a before
the endings (coiresponding to an imperfect of the ^lass),
n. 3. A REDuFLicATiNo AOBI9T, perhaps in origin iden-
tical with an imperfect of the reduplicating class, but having
come to be separated from it by marked peculiarities of form.
It usually has a union-vowel Q a before the endings, or is
inflected like an imperfect of one of the a-claases; but a
few forms occur in the Veda without such vowel.
III. A 8IOUATK' or SIBILANT AORIST (corresponding to the
Greek "first norist"), having for its tense-sign a n b added
to the root, either directly or with a preceding auxiliary
^ i; its endings are usually added immediately to the tense-
sign, but in a small number of roots with a union-vowel
Q a; a very few roots also are increased by H b for its
formation; and according to these difietenoes it falls into
four varieties: namely, A. without union-vowel 9 a before
endings: 4. a-aorist, with T\ s alone added to the root;
5. i«-aoiist, the same with interposed ^ i; 5. sif-aotist,
the same as the preceding with ^ s added at the end of
the root; B. with union-vowel ^ a, 7. sa-aorist.

SaS— ] XL A0R18T-8YSTBM8, 298
826. All these vaiieties aie bound together ajid made
into a single complex system by ceitain coriespondences of
form and meaning. Thus, in regard to form, they are all
alike, in the indicatire, augment-preterite to which there does
not exist any corresponding present; in regard to meaoiag,
although in the later or classical language they are simply
preterits, exchangeable with imperfects and perfects, tfaey
all alike have in the older language the general value of
a completed past or "perfect", translatable by /lave done and
the like.
8S6. The w)ri«t-i;8Mm la b fOTmaiion of iufieqaent occotTenas in
ntDcb of the dwalul S&iukiit (iu forma mo foand, for eiunple, only

quite common, and has the «boIe variety of modes belonging to the present,
and sometlmea partioiplei. Ila desoription, tcooTdingly, must be glTen
mainly as that of a pari of the oMet language, with dae notice of Its res-
triction in later nae.
827. a. In the BV., neuty half the looia occurTing ebov aorUt form*,
of one or aneiber claasj In the AV., rather lesa than one third; and In the
other texts of the older lingnage comparatively few aorlsle ocenr irhlch an
not found in these two.
b. More than llfty roots, in BV. aud AV. lagether, make aorlM forns
of more than one class (not taking into account the reduplicated or "canaa-
tive" aorlst); bat no law appears to underlie this variety; of any relation
■neh as la taagbt by the granmarlsns, between active ef one daaa and
middle of another as correlative, there la no trace discoverable.

to a few loots in ^ & and the loot ^ bbO, and is allowed

b. The roots in QT ft take 3TT na aa 3d pi. ending, and,
as usual, lose their W S before it; ^ bhQ (as in the perfect:

843. A middle third pereon singular, of pecnliar formation and
prevailingly passive meaning, Is made from many verbs in the older
Uoguage, and has become a regular part of the passive conjagatioo,
being, according to the grammarians, to be substituted always for the
proper third person of any aorist middle that is need in a passive
848. This person is formed by adding ^ i to the toot,
which takes also the augment, and is usually strengthened.

leot-aOTiBL
844. Before the ending ^ i, a final vowel, and usually
also a medial Q a before a single consonant, have the vrddhi-
strengthening ; other medial vowels have the guna-stiengtheD-

It is made in both voices, but is rare in the middle, most
of the roots forming their middle according to the a-olass
(878 ff.) or the if-claes (898 ff.).
b. Its closest anal<^y is with the imperfect o£ the &-^lass
{761 fr.]; its inflection is the same with that in all partieulars;
and it takes in general a weak form of root — save the roots in

fotma of aorist in that it has come to be attached in almost
all oajei to the detiTatiTB (causative etc.) conjugation in

liable to be made ftom all roots which hare such a conju-
gation, beside the aorist or aorists which belong to theii
primary conjugation. Since, howerer, the connection of

the two 18 not a formal one (the aorist being made directly
from the root, and not from the oauaative stem), but rather
a matter of established association, ovring to kinship of
meaning, the formation and inflection of this kind of aorist
is best treated here, along with the others.
8B7. Its chaiaflteristio is a reduplication of the radical
syllable, by which it is assimilated, on the one hand, to
the imperfect of the reduplicating class (6BS ff.], and, on the
other hand, to the so-called pluperfect [817 ff.). But the
aoiist reduplication has taken on a quite peculiar character,
with few traces left even in the Veda of a different con-
dition which may have preceded this.
868. ». As r^ards, indeed, the consonant of the re-
duplication, it follows the general rules already given (680).
And the quality of the reduplicated vowel is in general as
in the formations already treated: it needs only to be noted
that an a-vowel and x (or arj are usually (for exceptions,
see below, 860] repeated by an i-vowel — as they are, to a
considerable extent, in the reduplicated present also (680),
b. But in regard to quantity, this aorist aims always at
^tablishing a diversity between the reduplicating and radical
syllables, making the one heavy and the other light. And
the preference is very markedly for a heavy reduplication
and a light root-syllable — which relation is brought about
wherever the conditions allow. Thus:
S60. If the root is a light syllable (having a short
vowel followed by a single consonant), the reduplication is
made heavy.
a. And this, Qaaally bj lengtheDing the reduplicating vowel, with
I for radical a or p or } (in the single root containing tliat vowel):
tbna, arirlfam, adudufuo, ^ijanam, avivrdliam, a(iIk|pRm. The
great m^ority of rednplicated aorlBte are of this form,
b> If, however, the root begins with two coDBODants, so that (he
rednplicating sfllable will be heavy whatever the qnanlltr of its vowel,

the Towel renutiDB short: tbtu, aolkf Ipuo, ftookradtuun, aUtrasun,
mvimpf^am,
860. If the root is a heary syllable (tkaving a long
vowel, or a short before two ooosonante), the vowel of the
redupJioation is short: and in this case Q a or ^ &, and
ff p (if it occurs), are Teduplicated by Q a.
a. Thus, adidikfam, abubbOfam (not quotable), adadakfam,
adadhfivam. atataAsam. And, in the caseg in which a root sttotild
both begin and end with two oonsonants, both ayllables wonld be
necessarilj beary, notwithstatidliig the short vowel in the former;
thne, apapraoobam, aoaskaadam (bat no suob forma are found in nse).

o. These torlMt u« not dlattngnlibable In fntm from the so-ulled

861. a. In order, howeveT, to bring al>ont the &vored relation
of heBT7 TeduplicAtion and light radical syllable, a heavy root is
sometimes made light: either by shortening Its vowel, as in ariradham
from yrKdli, avivaqam from Vv&q, a^adbam from yMdh, ^JyiTam
from yjiv, adidlpam (E. and later: RV. has didlpas) from ydip,
abibMfam from ybhi^ aailBuoani from ysilo; or by dropping a
pODUttimate nasal, as In aoLkradam from f'kraiid, asifyadam from
ysyand.
b. In those oases in which [1047) an aorist is formed directly
from a causal stem in Sp, the & is abbreviated to 1: thus, ati^ftalp-

fift; roots in the whole epic and classical literatnre.
III. Sigmatic or Sibilant Aorist.
874. a. The commoQ tense-siga of all the varieties of
this aorist is a H b (convertible to tf 9: 180) which is added to
the root in forming the tense-Btem.
b. Tliia aibilant baa no analoguea among the olaaa-slgD* otthe pteaent-
■yatemj bnt it Ib to be campared with that which appears (and tlkewUe
with or withODt the tune anlon'iowel 1) Id the item* of the lature tenae-
tyBtam (888 11.) and of the desjdetaiiie coojogatlon (1087 fl.}.
o. To the root thus increased the augment is prefixed
and the secondary endings are added.
876. In the case of a few roote, the sibilant tense-stem
(always ending in ?! k?) is further increased by an CT a,
and the inflection is nearly like that of an imperfect of the
second or a-conjugation.
876. a. In the vast majority of cases, the sibilant is
the final of the tense-atem, and the inflection is like that
of an imperfect of the first or non-a-conj ligation.
b. And these, again, fall into two nearly equal and
strongly marked classes, according as the sibilant is added
immediately to the final of the root, or with an auxiliary
vowel 5 i, making the tense-sign ^ i^. Finally, before this
^ if the root ia in a very small number of cases increased
by a H B, making the whole addition TTT^ sig.

877. We have, then, the following olasnfication (oi the
varieties o£ Bibilaot-aoiist:

4. with Hs simply after t^e root: a-aorist;

4. The B-aorist.
878. The tense-stem of this aorist is made by adding
IT 8 to the augmented root, of which also the vowel is usu-
ally strengthened.
879. The general rules as to the strengthening of the
root-vowel are these:
a. A final vowel (including If? t) has the vrddbi-ohange
in tbe active, and (excepting ^ x] iu^ in the middle: thus,
from y^ lead, active stem 5^^ anSi^, middle stem ^l^^ane^;
from y^ 9ru hear, USflH a^r&u^ and MVll^ a^rop; from
y^ kr make, *mi\fi ak&rf and SRi^ akff.
b. A medial vowel has the vfddhl-change in the active,
and remains unaltered in the middle: thus, from ya-^ ohand
leem, active stem yc*lr+1 aooh&nts, middle stem M<%^
aoohants; from y^ rio leave, ^^ arUk^ and ^tj^ arik^;
from v"^ rudh obstruct, Q^fH arRute and W^r^ amts;
from vTlsT Sri pour out, UHM aBrSk? and ER151 asfkf.
880. a. The endings are the usual secondary ones, with
3TI us (not ^{ an) in 3d pi. act., and ^ ata (not^ antaj
in 3d pi. mid.

then the endlDg bceomea ^hvam, prorlded the sibilant, if retained, would

ata and avTfata); dr<^T«m (>'dx regard: (B., onee), whlah 1* to
dfthfta (2d slog.) as KV^^VKca and av^ata to avTi and aTTthU; and
kr^vam (H.).
O. According to the- grammsiians, the omlsilon of a before t and th
takes place also after a short vowel (the case can occur only in the 2d and
3d ilng. CDld.); bnt we bare seen above (884 a) that this Is to be ilewel
rather aa a substltutlDn In those persons of the forms of the root-sotlst
Neither in the earlier nor In the later language, howeier, does any example
occur of an sorist-form with b retained after a abort vowel before these
endings.
d. After the final sonant aspirate of a root, the sibilant before the
same endings is said by the Hindu grammarians to disappear altogether, the
oontblnation of the aspirate with the th or t of the ending being then
made iccotdlng to the ordinary rule for such eases (160): thus, from the
•tern arHnts, for ar&ndh-s, is made arftuddha, as If from nr&udh •(- ta
directly. No example of such a form Is qaotable from the literature; but
the combination Is established by the occurrence ot other similar cases
(883 f). In the middle, in like manner, aruts + ta becomes amddha,
u if from arudh + ta; bnt all sach forms admit also of being understood
as of the root'aorial. Those that have been fonnd to occur were given
above (884 d); probably they belong at lea«l in part to this aorlst.
e. From the three nasal roots gam, tan, man are made the 2d and
S4 ling. mid. persons ngathia and acata, atathSa and atata, and amata
(amathBs not quotable), reckoned by the native grammarians as B-aorlst
forms, made, after loss ot their flnal root-nasal, with loss also of the sibilant
after a short vowel. They are doubtless better referred to the root-aorlst. Bnt

Examples with accent, bowever, nre extremely rare; there has been

markedly less common in the later Tedio texts, and very seldom met

899. The rules as to the strengthening of the root are
as follows:
a. A final vowel has rrddhi in the active, and ga^A in
the middle: thus, <9m^? apftvif and Ui^JMN apavi^ from
y^ pO cleanse; UrTlfj^ at&rlQ, act., firom v?T tr ptus; Q^lf^H
a^aylf, mid., from y^ 9I lie.
b. A medial vowel has gu^a, if capable of it, in both
voices: thus, i^f^HT alefif, act. and mid., from y%ts U9
tear; ^ji^^ arooiQ from V^ ruo ahine; Uc^f^tl avarfif
from CoW vTf '■<»i ; but flsUNH ajlvi* from ysf^^jlv live.
o. Medial Q a is sometimes lengthened in the active;
but it more usually remains unchanged in both voices.
d. The loota in the oldei langaage wblch show the lengthening are
kao, tan, ran, stan, svan, ban, vraj, sad, mad, oar, tsar, svar,

to be made in the later lan^oge from eveiy root, and in an inde-
peDdeDt way, without reference to the mode of formation of the
aorist from the same root, it is desirable to pnt together hare a brief
statement of the rules glTen for it.
022. The precative aotire is ma^le b^ adding tbe active
pieoative eodingo (above, 668) diieotly to the root. But:

THE FIITURE-STSTEM8.
981. The verb has two futures, of veiy diffeieot age
and character. The one has for tease-sign a sibilant folloired
by Tl y*, and is an inheritance from the time ot Indo-
Euiopean unity. The other is a petiphrastio formation, made
by appending an auxiliary verb to a derivative noun ot
agency, and it is a recent addition to the verb-system; i(a
beginnings only are met with in the earliest language. The
former may be called the s-future (or the old future, or
simply the future]; the latter may be distinguished as the
periphrastic future.

I. The B-future.
982. The tense-sigQ of this future is the syllable ^ aji,
added to the^joot^either_diiBcUy or by an auxiliary vowel
^ i (in the latter case becoming ^iqr iVJi]- The root has
the gu^a^tiengthening. Thus, fiom y^ dft give is formed
the futuie tense-stem ^THT 6t»jit; horn y^ 1 go, the stem
JffHI e^yi; fiom kJ^ du^ mtlt, the stem ^t^ dhokn^;

886. Aa ti>« root is Etrengtbened to form the item of thle future, ao,
of a root that baa a itroDger and a weaker foim, the stronger form la naed :
thus, frem vlwndh or badh bind, bhantSTa or bandbl^a.
a. By an Irregnlst atrengthening, naUfya (beside na^lfya) is made
from ^Da9 he loit, and mafikfya (berida majjifya) from ymajj sink.
b. Bat a few roots make fatare-atems In the later language wltboat

aifya (KsS or b1), Mfya (988 b), aphnt^Vra; and f^adb make*
VAtaya from the weaker form vldh.

Compare farther hTayiffa etc, B36 e. Alto kfayfiyi^ya from ykhyfl

sprakfya, arak^a, arapaya (beside aarpsya), and mradlfya (beside
mardlfya); and y'k^p forms klapaya (beside kalpifya).
ft. The root grab (also Its doublet glah) takes I InatMd of 1, as It
doea also in the aori*t and elsewhere.
987, This fntare Is eomparaUiely rare Id the oldoat langnage — in
part, apparently, becaase the uses of a fntaie sre to a large extent answered

occurrences (peraoaal forms and partiolplea together) from orer sixty roots;
and forms from more than a hundred and Qfty roots are quotable from the

940. From the future-stem is made an augment-preterit,
by prefixing the augment and adding the secondary endings,
in precisely the same manner as an imperfect from a present-
stem in Q a.- This preterit is called the conditional.
a. It atanda related to the fotnie, in form and meaning, u the French

II. The Periphrastic Future,
Ma. ft. This formation contaioB 0DI7 a single indicative
active tenae (or also middle: see 647), without modes, or
paitioiple, ot preterit.
b. It consists in a derivative nomen ageniu), having the
value of a future active participle, and used, either with
or without an accompanying auxiliary, in the office of a
verbal tense with future meaning.
948. The noun is formed by the suffix r{ tf (or rT^
tar); and this (as in its other than verbal uses: see 1182
is added to the root either directly or with a preceding

CHAPTER XIII
VERBAL ADJECTIVES AND KOUHS: PARTICIPLES,
INFINITIVES, GERUNDS.
961. a. Thosb verbal adjectives, or partioiplee, which are made
from teQae-BteiDB, and so coDBtitnte a psit of tbe various tense-
syatema, have been already treated. It remaina to deacribe certain
others, which, being made directly from the root itself, belong to the
verbal system as a whole, and not to any particular part of it
b. The infinitive (with a few sporadic exceptions in the older
language) also comes la all cases from the root directly, and not from
any of the derived tense-BtemB.
o. Tbe same is trne of the so-called gerunds, or indeclinable
participles'
Passive Participle in t& or n&.
962. hj the accented sufEx rT t^ — or, in a compar-
atively small number of verbB, =1 ni — is formed a verbal
adjective which, when comii^; from transitive verbs, quali-
fies anything aa having endured the action expressed by
the verb: thus, ^ datti given; T^ ukti spoken. Hence
it is usually called the passive participle; or, to distinguish
it from the participle belonging to the passive present-
system (771), the past passive participle.
a. When made from aa intransitive oi neuter verb, the
same participle, as in other languages, has no passive but
only an indefinite past sense: thus, TH gatd gone; HcT bhati
been; ilfdR patiti fallen.
968. In general, this participle is made by adding rT
td to the bare verbal root, with observation of the ordinary
rules of euphonic combination.
a. Some roots, however, require the prefixion of the auxiliary
vowel 1 to die But^x. For these, and for the verbs that add n&
instead of t4, see below, 966, 967.

J41 Passive Participle in ta or na. [— 9BB
b. Aa to the accent when the root is preceded hj a prepoBition,
see lOSBa.
964. The root before FT t& has usually its weakest form,
if there is anywhere in the verbal system a distinction of
weak and strong forms. Thus:
a. A penultimate nasal fs not seldom dropped: examples are
akt& (Va&j;, baddhi (vttaadh', frabdba (v'qrambb], daffi (v'daAq),
arosta (i/BraAsJ, bft^ba (>^afib}.
b. Roots which are abbreviated in the weak forms of the per-
fect (784) suffer the same abbreviation here: examples are uktA.
iyvtiO], aft& (yVaa thme), npt& (|/vap: also vapta), Q^b^ (v'TSh),
«npt& (i/srap), IftA iYs^], vlddtaA (yvyadh! ; — and, hj a similar
procedure, y^r^tih (or praq) makes Prft4i Vbhrafif makes bh^ft^
(beside the regular bbra^fA), and y<jTi boil makes 9^ [beside frat&).
{^^Flnal 4 li weakened to i in gitA (/gft >uif), dhlt& ((^dhK *uc(J,

and jagdb&, «ee 233 f.
f. Oil tbe olhet hand, ^avad makaa Bvitt4.
ess. Of more irregular character are tbe following:
a. A number of roots ending in am retain the nasal, and leogtben
the radical vowel (as also in some others of tlielr verbal forms: thus,
kSibtA, krbbt&, USibtA, k^&tbta, oidita, t&iht&, dKiiit&, bhrSihta,

Future pMBlTe Participles: Gerundives.
961. Certain derivative adjectives (foi the most put
more oi less clearly secondaiy deiivativee] have acquired in
the language a value as qualifying something which is to,
ot which ought to, auffei the action exptesaed by the root
&om which they come; and they aie allowed to be made
fiom eveiy verb. Hence they are, like mote pTOper pai-
tioiples, sometimes treated as a part of the general verbal
system, and called future passive participles, or gerundives
(like the Latin forms in ndua, to which they correspond in
meaning).
662. The suffixes by which such gerundives are regu-
larly and ordinarily made are three: namely Uya, rTc?7 tavya,
and fl4l(J MUlya.
a. DerlTUlveB in ya biting tbii VKlue >r« made tu all pBriods of the
luigntige, ftom the eultest down; the othei tno are of moie modem origin,
being entliely wanting in the oldest Yedi (RV.), and hardly known In the
later. Other dariTatiTei ot * similar character, which afterward disappear
from nae, ate foand In the Veda (960).
96S. Tbe suffix 7a in Its gemndive use bas notbiog to dia-
tiD^ieh it from the Skme saffix as employed to insks adjectives and
nouns of other oharaoter (Bee below, 1313). And it exbibits tXm the
Mine variety in tbe treatment of the root.
a. The original valne of the snffli Is la, and as such it hag to be read
Id the Tery great mijorlty of Its Vedlc occuiiences. Hence the conTersion
of • and o to ay and av before it (see below).
b. Thus: 1. Final & becomes e before tbe suffis: Ahj% dliyeya,
khy^TS, mdya (perhaps dlt-ia et«., wtth eaphonic ; interposed]; but
RV. baa onoe -Jftftya. — 2. The other vowels either remain unchang-
ed, or have the gu^ or the vrddhi strengthening; and e usually
and o always are treated before the ya as they wonld be before a
vowel: thoB, -kfayya, J&yya, bhiyya, l&yyai n&vya, bMvya, bAvya,
blL&vy&; virya: and, in the later language, nlya, j«ya, dhtiya (such
cases are wanting earlier). In a few Instances, a short vowel adds t

the gnmmtniuii, the lueiit Is on the loot ot eUe the ending Is oirenm-
fleied: tlviji the temei, if Iha ya fbliow t Towel.
9d4. a. The aufSz tavya is a secondar; adjectlTe derirativa
from the iDfiDitival dodh in tu (below, 868], made by adding the
nffiz ya (properly ^ wheooe the aooent yi), before which the final n,
aa maal (ISOSa), has eo^a-Btrengthening, and is reBOlved into av.
b. Hence, as regards both the form taken by the root and the
nu or omisalon of an aQxitlary vowel i before the tavya, the rules
are the eame as for the formation of the infinitiTe (below, 968).
O. Ko nunple of thU fonnttion it found in HT., ind In AY. oocdt

gim to be not rue, and is mtde both from the simple root snd fnm the
d*Tl*ed conjDgationsI stems (next obspter); In the duiles] Ungnsge It is
still more frequent. Acooiding to the grimmariaiis, the scc«nt of the word
Is either otrcnmaei on the flnil or scute on the pennit: thus, kartavyk
or karUvya; Id the scoenlasted leiti. It is tlwsTs the former (the Mcent
t&Tya glren to certain gemndlvei Id the Petenbuig Uiicona is sn error,
growing out of the •mhlgaons arcentnitlon of QB.: 880].
eeb. a. The snf&x anlya ia In like manner, the prodact of

to a nonun aetionit formed by the common snffiz ana.
b. It follows, then, se regards its mode of formation, the mlea
for the suffix ana (below, 11 BO).
O. This deriTslWe also la unknown In RV., and in AY. la found only

tivM is lesB itriotlj drawn in Sanskrit than in the other Indo-Euro-
pean langnagea. Tbua, adjeotives in u, as will be Men later [1178),
from Becondaij oonjngational Btems, have participial ralue; and In
the Br&hmanai (with an example or two in AV.) is fonnd widely and
commonly naed a participial adjective formed with the suffix oka
(1180].
Infinltivfli.
868. The later laoguage has only a single infinitive,
which is the aooueative case of a Terbal noun formed by the
suffix ^ tn, added to the root usually directly, but often also
with aid of the preoediog auxiliary vovrel ^ i. The form of
the infinitive ending, therefore, is ^tl turn or ^tT itmn. The
root has the guva-strengthening, and is accented. Thus, for
example, ^^T ^tom &om f^ i; tf^ kdrtum &om ym kp;
tjftHH oirltum from y^ oar ; HleTrR bhivitum from y^ bhO.
a. Ab regards the nae or omisBion of 1, the infinitive (aa aleo
the gemnd in tvK; 991) followB in general the analogy of the pasaive
participle (666). Ezamplea are (with the gerand added) as follows:

900. Id the Veda and Brabmana, however, a DQiuber of verbal
DouQB, nomina actionit, in varioQB of their cases, are used in con-
structions which assimilate them to tbe infinitive of other laDgrnages
— although, were it not for these other later and more developed
and pronounced infinitiyes, tbe constractloiiB in question might pass
as ordinary case- constructions of a somewhat peculiar kind.
970. The coans thas need infinitively are the following:
a. The root-DOun, without derivative suffix, is so used In its
accusative in am, its dative in e oi (from i-roots] U, its genitive
and ablative is aa, and its locative in 1,
b. The verbal noun in tu is so used in its accusative in tiua,
its dative in tave or tavftf, and its ablative and genitive in toa.
Of othei nouns only single cues, genermlly datlTei, lie reckoned ss
nfed with Inflnitire vilne; tbui:
a. From the verbal noun In as, the dative in aoe; and also, in
an extremely small Dumber of instances, a dative in se (or ^}, from
a noun formed with s simply.
d. Prom Doans in man and van, datives in mane and vane.
e. From nouns in ti, datives in ts^e, or (from one or two verbs)
in tyU.
f. From nouns in 1, dttives in dye.
K< From nouns in dhl and fi, datives in dby&i and fySl.
h. A few Infinitives in ^ai^ are perhaps locatives from nouns in
an added to a root increased by a.
i. From a single root, dhr, are made InSnitively used forms in

ouMtlve in torn Is rare (only fonr formB in RV., only eight in AV.).
Id the Brahmanas, the aoeiuative bat risen to comparatively much
greater freqnenoy (Ita forms are nearly twice as many as those of the
dative]) bnt the ablative-genitive, which is rare in the Veda, has
lUso come to fnll eqaaiil? with it. The disappearance in the olassical

Gerunds.
888. The so-called gerund is a steieotyped case (doubt-
leas instnimeDtal] of a reibal douh, used geoeially as ad-
junct to the logical subject of a clause, de&otiug an accom-
panying oi (more often) a pieoediog action to that signified
by the verb of the clause. It has thus the virtual value of
an indeclinable participle, piesent or past, qualifying the
aotoi whose action it describes.
a. TfanB, for example: <}TutvU 'va oft *bmvaii and hearing (or
hatting heardi they ipoke; tebhya^ pratlJ&ByK thU tin parlpa-
praoAa haoing given them hit promite, A« then quettioned them.
890. The gerund is made in the later language by one
of the two suffixes ^ tvS and U ;a, the former being used
with a simple root, the latter with one that is compounded
with a prepositional prefix — or, rarely, with an element
of another kind, as adverb oi noun.

881. The suffix ^ tvB has the accent. It » ustullf
added diiectly to the root, but often alao with iutetpositioo
of the auxiliary vowel ^ i — with regaid to which, as well
as to the form of the loot befoie it, the fotmatioD nearly
agrees with that of the participle in ?T ta {8BZ if.].
a. Examples of tbe general accordance of pauive participle, in-
finitive, and gerund in regard to tbe nse of i were giveo above,
SflSa; farther Bpecifloations are called for, aa follows:
b. The quotible roots In virfibla p (S4S) change it to ir: tho*,

C. The auxiliary vowel la taken by loota gras, muf, fap, and (Ba
(qSaltTB) (vhoie participle* have h«th forma); alto by oSy, nft [nar-
titT&), lag, and Brai (agalnet analogy of pplc); and foo makei fcxritrk.
On the other hand, from ruj (rug^) and vraqo (vrk^a) come raktri

ative) is that one of the secondary conju^^ations whiefa is

described. It is, like the piesent-system of the secocd con-
jugation-class (642 ff.), the inflection of a reduplicated stem,
but of one that is peculiar in having a strengthened redu-
plication. It is decidedly lew extended beyond the limits
of a present-system than any other of the derivative con-
jugations.
a. The intensive conjugation signifies the lepetition or
the intensification of the action expressed by the primary
coajngation of a root.
1001, According to the grammarians, the intensive
conjugation may be formed from nearly all the roots in the
language — the exceptions being roots of more than one
syllable, those conjugated only causatively (below, lOSe],
and in general those beginning with a vowel.
a. In fact, howBTaT, ioteDBiTss to the lat«i Uagutge are very ttn,

the formation, aa exhibited in the older langaage, will be had primaiUy and
eipeciilly In view; and tbe eiamplea will be of forma fouDd there in nee.
1002. The strong intensive reduplication is made in
three different ways:
I. a> The redapIiOBtiiig syllable is, as elsewhere, composed of a
single ooDsoDsnt with rollowing vowel, and, ao far ae the consonant
is concerned, follows the miss for present and perfect redaplfcaljoD
(B90); bat tbe vowel is a heavy one, radical a and r (<>r ar) being
radaplicated with t, an i-vowel by e, and an a-vowel b; o.
Eiamplea are: vkvad, babadta, qa^vas, rSrandli; dftdf, dJblbr;
e«kit, tetlj, neni, vevU; qofno, popratb, oofkn, joha.
II. b. The reduplioatiog syllable has a final coDgonant, taken
^m the end of the toot With an exception oc two, tbiB coDsonant
is either t (or its substitute 1] or a nsaaL

III. f. The reduplication is dissyllabic, an i-TOwel being added
after a float oouBonant of the ledaplicating syllable. This 1-TOwel ii
in the older langnago short before a doable consOQant, and long be-
fore a single.
Examples are: ganigam (bnt g&nlgmatam), Tarivft, TanJvUi,
oanifkad, aanifTau; navlna, daridTut (aDd tbe ptitidplea dividhvat
bat ti-vltnat). A single exception as to the qnantltr of the 1 la d«Tl>
db&va.
g. This method of lednpll cation Is followed in the older langaafs
by abont thirty roots. Thus, of roots haTing final or penultimate n (once
m), and n in the rednpllcating syllable, pan, pban, san, avan, haa;
gam; krand. qoand, akand, syand; ot roots having final or medial f,
and r In the tednpUcating syllable, kf tnuita, tf, bh^i VT> mfj, mni

1004. The model of normal inteneire infleotion ia the
piesent-system of the leduplioating ooajugation-class (642 If.} ;
and this ie indeed to a consideiable extent followed, in
lespect to endings, stiengtheniag of stem, and accent. But
deviations from the model are not taie ; and the foims aie
in general of too infrequent occurrence to allow of satis-
factory claasifioation and explanation.
a. The most marked irregularity is the frequent insertfon of an
I between the stem and ending. According to the grammarians, this
IB allowed in all the strong forma l>efore an ending beginning with
a consonant; and before the I a final vowel has ffu^-strengthetiiDg,
but a medial one remans unchanged.
Freaentr^lystem.
1005. We will take np the parts of the preseat-syatem in their
order, giving first what is recognized as regnlar in the later language,
and then showing bow the formation appears In the earlier t«xts. As
most grammarians do not allow a middle inflection, and middle foims
are few even In the Veda, no attempt will be made to set np a par-
adigm for the middle voice.
1006. As example of inflection may be taken the root
icl^ vid know, of which the intensive stem is ^f^i vevid,
or, in strong forms, ^1^ vived.

loie. Derivative Middle Inflection. Ftom every
intensive stem, as above described, may be formed in the
piesent-system a further derivative conjugation ivfaich is
formally identical with a passive, being made by the accented
sign U y&, along with middle endings only. It has not,
however, a passive value, but is in meaning and use in-
distinguishable £iom the simpler conjugation.
a. A final vowel before this ya is treated u before the paasive-
sign ya (770).
b. The inflectlOD is precisely like that of any other stem ending
in a in the middle voice: thus, from yxaji, intenefve stem marmfj.

1019. Ab to the remaining parts of a full verbal con-
jugation, also, the grammarians are not agreed [oocuirencee
of such forma, apparently, being too rare to afford even
them any basis for rules); in general, it is allowed to treat
the intensive stem further as a root in filling up the scheme
of forms, using always the auxiliary vowel ^ i where it is
ever used in the simple conjugation.
a. ThuB, from v'vid, iDtensive stem wvid, would be made the

Ifyiml and vevldltiami. the participles vevidita, vevidiUvya, etc,
the ioGnitive vevldltuin, and the gerunds vevlditvA and •vevldya.
And, where the intensive conjugation is the derivative middle one,
the aorist and futares would take the corresponding middle form.

Tbe same is true of iradli propitiate (only iradhanta and ir&(Ui;&i,

III. Desiderative.
1026. By the desiderative ooDJugation is signified a de-
siie for the action oi condition denoted by the simple toot:
thus, (MsHfn pibftmi / clrm&, desid. fl|M(HliH pip&a&ml / wish
to drink; sft^Tftr jiTSml / live, desid. ftsftftinftl jijivi^Bini
I desire to live. Such a conjugation is allowed to be formed
fiom any simple root in the language, and also fiom any
causative stem.
a. Tbe desiderative conjagation, although Its forms outside the
pre Bent-system are extremely rare in tbe oldest language, is earlier
and more fully expanded into a whole verbal ByBt«ni thau the ioteo-
sive. Its formB are also of increasing frequency: much fewer than
the inteoBiveB in RV., more numerooB in the Brabmanae and later;
not one third of the whole number of roots (about a hundred) noted
as having a deaidetaclve conjugation in Veda and Brahmapa have
such in RV.
1027. The desiderative stem is formed from the simple
loot by the addition of two characteristics: 1. a reduplication,
which always has the accent ; 2. an appended Tl b& — which,
however (like the tense-signs of aorist and future], sometimes
takes before it the auxiliary vowel S i, becoming ^ i^s.
a. A few inaUnces In tbe concluding part of f B. in which the acc«n(
i( othetHise laid — thns, tifttiaset, yiyfis^tam, vividi^&atl, ips4at«a
— must p 10 b ably be regarded as eiToii.
102S. The root in general remains unchanged ; but with
the following exceptions:
a. A final 1 or a is lengthened before aa: thus, oik^fa, ciklfa,
Jigifa; fuqra^a, JnliDfa, cuk^ufa.
b, A final X becomes ir or ur before sa: thus, olklr^a, titSrqa
(also irregularly tQtOr^a RV.), didliirfa, sisirfa, tiBtirfa (also tn-
BtOrqaj, JUiIr^a; bnbhfir^a, mumQr^ (the only examples qaotable}.

More special exceptions are:
d> A few roots In & weaken tbig vowel to i or eien 1 : thus, Jigifa
trom yei go; pipifa (beside plpOaa) from ^pS drink, jUiifa (AY.)
from yhft remove QU^ite: 604); dldbi^a (bet[de dhitsa) from yAhR.
«. A few tooM In an or am lengthen the vowel : thus, jig&Asa (beside
Jigamlfa) from j/gam; JlgbUsa from yhaxii mun&bBa from f/man;
and tltabaa trom ytva.
r. Reversion to gnttuial foin of in Initial aftec the reduplication is
Men in oikl^a from yd, oikitaa fiom ^cit, jlgi^a from yji, Jlgh&flsa
item ylXKO; and J^lli is said to make Jigblfa (no Dccnnence).
g. The lOots van and aan make tIvSbb and ai^&aa, from the root-
fotms Y& and Bi.
h. The root jiT forms Jajyu^a (9B.: JtJiTi^a, VS.); »nd Hie other
roots in Iv (760) ire leqalred to make the same change before ga, and to
■lave gu^a before l|a: thus, sosyafa oi BiBevi^ from >^bIt. Bvap
forma Bu;aps&. DhUrr forms dudhOr^a.
1, Initial B is nsnallj left unchanged to if after the redapliution
when the desiderative sign has ^ (184e): thus, aiBflLiikqa (gB.: ^'BaSJ),
and BUBTuqa and alBOniQa, acoording to the grammarians; but tU^tOqa
1* met with.
J. Further may be meDtloned as prescribed by the grammarlanB:
nina&kfa (oi nlnafifa) from ynBiq be loit; mlma&k^a from V'maJJ
(occurs in mimaikkfn) ; mim&rjtqa (or mimj-kf a) from v'mf],
1028. Tbe consonant of the reduplication follows the
general lules (880] ; the vowel is ^ i if the root has an a-
vowel, or H X, or an i-vowel; it ia 3 u if the loot ha^ an
u-vowel. But:
a. A few roots have a long TOwel in the redapllcating syllable: thna,
blbhataafrom ytiadhorbftdb; mim&fisa from )^man; andtatur;a(RV.)
from |/taT; dadblfu (AV.) and dadaflkf u (C.) are probably false forme.
b. From yaq is made (^B.) aglqtfa, and from )/edb (J3.)
edldhi^a (with a mode of reduplication like that followed aometimei in
the reduplicating aoiitt: 862). In the older language, these aro the only
roots with Initial vowet which form a desideratl>e stem, eieept ftp and
fdb, which have abbreviated stems : see the next paragraph. In the later
language occur foitbor efiqlqa (|^lf ««tA) and loikglqa (^Ik;); aud the
giammarians add others, as arjlhl^a (V'arh), undidi^a (Viind), ardi-

also from toot* ml and ml) | and the grammBrians give ritsa from yvBdb.
Also mokfa la (lety qneationably) sieved as a desideratiTe stem from
ymuc.
108X. The use of the auxiliary vowel ^ i is quite rare
in the early language, but more common later; and it is
allowed or prescribed by the grammajians in many stems
which have not been found in actual use.
a. It is declared to follow in general, thoogh not without ex-
ceptions, neoeBsary or optional, the analogy of tbe fntnres (934,
943 a|.
b. No eiample of tbe a»e of i Is found In RV., and onlj one each in

further, secondary derlvailvea (doubtleta) in in from the noun In S, as
ipsln, Jislfbl (one or two of these occur In the older language). And of
an adjective tn a we have an example In bibbatii4 (B.S., and later), and
perhaps in avallpaa (AVP.) ; auch words aa aju^psa, da9oikitea, are
rather to be undentood as poiseulve eompoands with the noun in S. A«

10S9. Oeiivative or Tertiary Conjugations. A
passive is allowed to be made, by adding the passive-sign
IT yi to the desiderative loot (oi stem without final aj: thus,
i^UrtSH Ipsyite it is desired to be obtained; — and a causautive,
by adding in like manner the causative-sign WJ &ya (1041):
thus, ImUliM IpaiySmi / cattse to desire obtainment.
a. Of these formstione iu the older langnage are found mimUayi-
nUtna (donbtleaB to be read for -a&mftna, AV.), llpByimfina (^B.), and
raratayainSna (R,). Half-a-doien suoh passives are qootable later, and
one or two causatlies: e. g. oikltsyate, vlvak^yate, Jijfiaayata; clklr-

IV. Causative.
1041. a. In the latei language is allowed to be made
from most roots a complete causative conjugation. The
basis of this is a causative stem, formed by appending the
oausative-sign SRT Aya to the, usually strengthened, root.
b. But by no means all conjugation-stems formed by
the sign ^(U &ya are of causative value; and the grammarians
regard a part of them as constituting a conjugation-class,
the tenth or our-class, according to which roots may be
inflected as according to the other classes, and either alone
or along with others (776j.

JB& and enft are found in AV, and laler the ghoitened forma Jfiapaya
and anapaya, and from qrS only Qrapaya (not in RT.). Alio, la the
later language, glS forms glapaya, and ml& forms mlapaya.

aya from yhv& (or bu); — and further, from roots vS weave, vyK, and
93 (or qi), according to the grammarians.
1. The same p is taken also by a few i- and i-toot», with other
accompanying irregalarities : thai, in the older language, k^paya (R'V-,
beside ksayaya) from yk^ posaeei; JSpaya (VS. and later) from yH;
lApaya (TB. and later; later also l&yaya) from yS cling; frftpaya (V3.,

later, kfapas^ (beside ki^ayaya) from yk^i deitroy; m&paya from
yml; amKpaya (beside smSyaya] from ynni; brapaya from ybxi;
— and the grammarians make further krBpaya from y'krl ; o&paya (beside
oftyaya) from yoL gather; bbSpaya (beside bbByaya and bbiqaya)
from ybbi; repaya from ]/rI, and vlepaya from yvli. Horeofer, f'rab
makes ropaya (B. and later) beside robaya (V. and later), and yiam
makes knopaya (late).
m. More aoomalODs easee in which the eo-ealled caDeative li palpably

canaatiTe in sense] bom ydbu; bhif aya from ytttu ; gb&taya from )^an ;
spbftvaya from yspba or spbfty.
n. In the Prakrit, the causative stem is made from all roots by the
addition of (the agnWalent of) apaya; and a nnmbei (aboot a doren) of
like foimatians are quotable from Sanskrit texts, mostly of the latest period :
bat three, kri^Spaya, Jiv&paya, and dik[|&paya, occnr to the epica;

1047. In a few cases, where the root haa asenmed a pecaUai
fonn before the causative sign — as by the additioo of a p or f
(above, 104Siff.]~the reduplicated aorist is made from thie form
instead of from the simple root: thus, atiffhlpam from ath&p (stem
Btb¶i for yotht. Aorist-stems of this character from quasi-roots

From the causative stem are made a passive and a de-
sideiative conjugation. Thus:
a. The paasive-stem is foimed by adding the usual
pasaive-aign 17 y^ to the causatively strengthened toot, the
causative-sign being diopped : thus, umFT dbftry&te.
b. Such puclTea ue hardly fonnd in the Tedi [only bbftjyi- AT.),
but Bome tbiitjr Instanoea are met with in the Brahmanae and Suttu: ei-
amplee are Jftapyi- (TS.), sBdya- (K.), pUya- (AB.), vKdya- (TB.),
Btllftpya- (OB.); and they beoome qnlte common Uiai.
o. The desiderative stem is made by leduplication and
addition of the sign ^ i^a, of which the initial vowel replaces
the final of the causative stem : thus, I^UI^nj^fH didb&rayifati.
d. These, loo, are found here and there Id the Brahmaoaa and later
[about fort; Btema are quotable): example* are piplyayifS (E.), bibbftv

ayl^ (^B.), and bo on,

V. Denominative.
1058. A denominative conji^ation is one that has fot
its basis a noun-stem.
a. It ii a view now preiailingly held that moat of the preaent-
ayslenu of the Satukrit Terb, along with Mhat fonn»tlona «n«logoai with a
ioy Google
pteMot-syitem, >k in thelt alllmtte origin denomtnttlTe ; Mid that tahuj
appuent loota are of the same charactei. The denominatiTea which aie go
called differ fram theie only tn that their origin ia recent and nndlggnlsed.
10&4. The gTammarians teach that any noun-etem in
the language may be converted, without othei addition than
that of an Q a (as uniou-vowel enabling it to be inflected
according to the second geneial conjugation] into a present-
stem, and conjugated as such.
ft. But aach fonnaliona are rare in actual uae. The BV. hu a few
Isolated and doablfol eiamplea, the clearest of which U bhif4kti he healt,
from hbi^ phytician; It ia made like a form of the loot-claae; abhi^yak
eeeml to be Ita imperfect according to the Da»l olaiB) and p&tyate he
rule* appeals to be a deDominatlie of p&tt matter; other possible caiee
are i^a^as etc., k^pAi^anta, tarofema etc., vanufMita, bhun^anta,
vinanvati. From the other older teite are quotable bavy&at (TS.),
4>9lonat (JS.), uamfilati (^B), Bvadhfimabe (((3). And a consider-
able DDmber of instanoea, mostly isolated, are found in the later langDige:
e. g. kolahant (UBb.), arghanU (PaFic), abJaU (^atr.), gardabliati
(SD.), utka^fhate (SD,), Jagannetratl (Pru.), kell9TetaBahaBTa-
pattratl (Pras.).
lOSB. In general, the base of denominative conjugation
is made from the noun-stem by means of the conjugation-
sign tr ;&, which has the accent.
a. The identity of this ya with the ya of the so-called eausatlve
eoDjDgaUOD, as making with the final a of a nonn-etem the caasallTe-slgii
aya, la hardly to be qneitioned. What relation It SQitalns to the ya of
the ya-cliBS (759), of the pasaire (766), and of the dorivativa iDteasive
■tern (1016), is much more doubtful.
IOB0. Istermediate between the denominative and causative
coDJngations stands a class of verbs, plainly denominative in origin,
bnt having the caaBativ« accent. Examples, beginning to appear at the
earliest period of the language, are mantr&yate ^eake, take* counsel,
[ftom mantra, yman + tra), kirt&yatl eomm»maratea {from kirti,
)/kf praiei), arth&yati or -te mak»* an object of, leekt [from &rtlia goal,
o^ect), var^ayati depict* (from var^a color), katbayati or -te gives
the how of anything, relates (from katham howf), and SO on. These,
along with like forms from roots which have no other present-system
(though they may make scattering forms outside that system from
the root directly), or which have this beside other present-systems
without cansative meaning, are reckoned by the grammarians as a
separate oonjagation-olaeB, the our-class (above, 607, 775).

1067. Denominativea aie formed at evety period in the
history of the language, boxa the earliest down.
a. Tbey are frequent in RV-, which contains over a hundred,
of all varieties; AV. has only half as many (and personal forms from
hardly a third as many; from the rest, present participles, or deriv-
ative DOuns]; AB., leas than Inentf ; ^B., hardlf more than a doceQ;
and Eo OD. In the later language they are quotable by hundreds,
but from the vast majority of stems occur only an example or two;
the only ones that have won any currency are those that have assumed
the character of "eur-olass" verbs.
1068. The denominative meaning is, as in other lan-
guages, of the greatest variety; some of the most frequent
forms of it are: be like, act as, play the part of; regard
ot treat as; cause to be, make into; me, make application
of; desire, wish for, crave — that which is signified by the
noun-fltem.
a. The modes of treatment of the stem-final are also various;
and the grammarians make a certain more or less definite assignment
of the varieties of meanicg to the varieties of form; but this allot-
ment finds only a dubious support in the usages of the words as met
with even in the later language, and still less in the earUer. Hence
the formal dassificatioo, according to the final of the noun-stem
and the way in which this is treated before the denominative sign yi,
will be the best one to follow.
1069. From stems in a. a. The final a of a nonn-etem
oftenest remains unchanged: thus, amitray&ti plays tkt «nm^, u
hottile; devay4tt cuttinatM the godi, it piout.
b. But final a is also often lengthened : thus, agh&y&ti plaav
miiehief; prlfSyite holdt dear; a^Hy&ti leakt for horttt; a^anKyUl
dtiirea food.
o. While in the Veda the larioaa modes of denominatiTe fonnatloa
■le veil diitrlbaled, no one allowing > maikid pTepondennee, In the later
lingnage tbe vaat majoritr of deDoninativei (fully aaven eightha) are of
the two kind* Jaat noticed: namely, made fiom a-atema, and of tbe form
aya or Sya, the former predominating. And there li seen a decided ten-
dency to give tbe denominativea In ajra an active form and tianaltiTe mean-
ing, and those in &ya a middle form and intranaittie or Tefletive meaning.

1061. From atems in 1, I, and a, d. Suoh items are (especially
those in u, u) very rue. They show regnlarly i and Q before 7a: thni,
arStlr&tl (also -tl7-) ploU irjjury; JaniyUl (also -niy-) tttk* a tei/e;
gakbiy&tl dttirtt fritndthip; nftiijats turtu urotnan; — qatrflf&ti ael*
the foe; rJOy&ti it ttraight; vasily&tl dtairtt tctaith; asEljriti frumiira,
i» diiconUnted ; with short n, gttuy&tl lett in motion,
a. More rarely, 1 01 a li treated as a (or else Is gnnated, with loss
of a y 01 v): thus, dimttay&tl eamtt tnorting; laghayatl makat eatier.
Sometimes, aa to a (abo«e, lOBBf), a sibilant is added; thni, avl^tl
M vehement; tirafy&ti tavet. From dhi, BV. makes dhlySyUe.
1063. From other io«el-stem«. a. Find r i» changed to ri:
thus, mitrlTiti Irtatt at a mother (only qnotable example).
b. The diphthongs, in the few cases Ihat oacar, have their Anal ele-
ment changed to a semivovel : thus, gavy&tl letkt cattle, goet a-raiding.
1068. From oonsonant-slema. A final conionant osually remalna
before ya: thus, bhlqajy&tl jiloya t&e phyeician, cures; iik^ai^y&ti actt
like a bull; apasy&ti itacliee; n&mtiay kU payt reverence; BumanasyAte
u favorably ditpoeed; tarnfy&ti Jighti.
a> But a final n Is sometime* dropped, and the pteoedlng vowel treated
as a final; thns, r^fiy&ta or r^tyiU m kingly, ftom T&jan; -korma-
yaU from •kanuan; evftmlyati treiUt at master, frocD avftmin: v^f^
y4ta bon vrfan is the only example quotable from the older langnage.
Sporadic cases oocnr of other final consonants similarly treated : thna, oJ&-
y&ta ttma ojas, -manilyate from -monaa; — while, on the other hand,
an a-TDwel is occasionally added to such a con aon ant before yai thus, ifa-
y&tl ftom I9, Batvanftyati from satran.
1004. The largest claia of conaonantal atems are those showing a a
before the ya; and, as has been seen abote, a albllanc ia sometimes, by
analogy, added to a Bnal vowel, making the denomltlie-sign virtnally sya

futuie, has been already described (042 ff.J, since it has
beoome in the later lanpiage a lecognized part of every
verbal conjugation, and since, though still remainig essen-
tially periphrastic, it has been so fused in its parts and al-
tered in construction as to assume in considerable measure
the semblance of an integral tense-formation.

1070. This (though almost uaknown in the Veda, and
ooming only gradually into use in the Brihma^as) ia s
tense widely made and frequently used in the olaaeical
Sanskrit.
a. It is made by piefixing the aousative of a deriva-
tive noun-stem in EIT S (accented) to the peifeot tense of an
auxiliary verb : namely, of ym kr maAe, moie often of

1071. The periphrastic perfect ooouis aa follows:
a. It is the accepted peifeot of the deiivatire conjuga-
tions: intensive, desideiative, causative, and denominative;
Uie noun in SIT i being made from the present-stem which is
the general basis of each conjugation: thus, &om y^fj hndh,

loss. As regards the accent of verb-forms compounded with
prefixes, only the case needs to be considered in which the prefix
stands (as always in the later language) immediately before the verb;
otherwise, verb and prefix are treated as two independent words.
1083. a. A personal verbal form, as has been seen above [BBS),
is ordinarily unaccented; before such a form, the prefix has its own
accent; or, if two or more precede the same form, the one nearest
the latter Is so accented, and the others lose their accent.
r prefixes
o. That Is, in every case, the verb along with its normally
sitoated prefix or prefixes so far constitutes a unity that the whole
combination is allowed to take but a single accent

1084. A prefix, however, not seldom has a more independent
value, as a general adverb of direotioo, or as a preposition {in the
nsusl modem sense of that term), belonging to and governing a noon;
in such case, it is not drawn in to form part of a verbal compound,
but has its own accent. The two kinds of use shade into one another,
and are not divisible by any distfoct and fixed line.

lOSB. In combiDAtion with the noD-penooal p»rt8 of the verb-
BjBtem — with participloB, infinitiTes, and geraada — the general rule
is thkt the prefix loaes its accent, in favor of the other member of tlie
compound. Bnt the prefix instead has aometimee the accent: namely,
when combined —

ing; &pabhartaTft{ for carrying off.
1086. The closeoese of combination between the root and the
prefix ia indicated not only by their unity of accent, bnt also by the
euphonic rulea (e. g. !8B, 182), which allow the mutual adapUtions
of the two to be made to some extent as if they were parts of a
noitary word.

into separate parts of speech in Sanskiit than is usiial
elsewhere in Indo-Euiopean langua^ — especially owing
to the fact that the olasB of piepositions hardly has a leal

later (above, 1111 e), the feminine aeaasatlTe la used instead: thus, ati-
tar^ and atitamKin, abhltarim, anutamjim, gtamfcn, pratitar&n,
nltar&n, attar&n, pratarfEm and pratamam, vitarim, aaifatar^
(also RT., once).
1120. Kindred in origin and character witli the verbal pre-
fixes, and need like them except in composition with verbs, are a
few other adverbs: thns, ttvka down; adh&a below (and adhaataHtm);
parka far off (and paraBtaram)i pnra before; aatarlt [apparently,
ant&r-j-a] among, between; katinear; up&rl above; and Bfthi (already
mentioned, 1104 b) along, with, and a&oS together, with, may be notioed
with them. Tin± without, and vi^u- apart, appear to be related
with vi.
1121. Insep&iable Prefixes. A Btnall number of
adverbial piefixee are found only in combination with other
elements. Thus:
a. The negative prefix a or an — an before vowels, a tiefore
consonants.
b. It Is combined especially wHb Innumerable nouns and adjeoHTes;
much more rarely, with adverbs, as akutra and &punar (RV.), ftnara

nouns (as atad, akddtoit) ; and even, in the later langnage, now and then
irtth TBiba, as aaprbayanti (BhP. Qig.) ttey do not detire, alokayati
(SD.) he doei not view. Now and and then it U prefixed to lUelf: a. g.

restricted to prati, ann and ft.
c. Host of the directive words akia with the more proper pre-
fixes are used prepositionally: some of them— as aaha, v^iS. nparl,

CHAPTER XVII.
DERIVATION OF DECLINABLE STEMS.
1186. The formation from roots of oonjngable stems — namdf,
tense-etema, modd'SteniB, knd stems of seoond&rf oonjngktiOD (not
OBsentiftlly different from one another, nor, it b believed, nitimately
from the formatioD of declined stems) — wm most oonveDientlf treat-
ed above, in the chapters devoted to the verb. Likewise the for-
mation of advertw by derivation (not eaeentially different from ease-
formation), in the chapter devoted to paiticlea. And the fonoalion
of those declinable stems — namely, of comparison, and of infinitives
and participles — which attach themselves most closely to the sys-
tems of iofiectlon, bas also been more or less folly exhibited. But
the estenaive and intricate subject of the formation of the great body
of declinable stems was reserved for a special chapter.
a. Of cDDMe, only ■ 'brief and compeadloaa exhlbltlan of the itibjsct
Mn be Htenapted within the here nocessiry limits: no ezhtoBtiTe tracing
out of the foimstlTe element! of aveir period; still legs, > complete gt>te-
ment of th« Tiried n«eB of each elemontj least of tM, t dlBcnseion of ori-
gtni; bnt enoagh to help the stadent In that analjais of word* which man
form a put of hia Ubot from the outset, giviug a general ontUne of the
field, and pieparlDg for more p«D«trating iDToatigatlon.
b. The material ftam acoented texl«, &nd espedally the Vedic material,
irill be had espedallT In view (nothing that ia Tedic being Intentionally
left nnooDBidered); and the example! given will be, lo fU as la poaalble,
words found In snch texts with theii accent marked. No word not thns
TOnched toi will be accented nnleaa the fact la apedflcatly pointed ont.
1187. The roots themselves, both verbal and pronom-
inal, are used in their bare form, or without any addsd
suffix, as declinable stems.
n. As to this nae of verbal roota, see below, 1147.
b. The pronominal roots, eo-called, are essentially declinable;
and hence, in their farther treatment in derivation, they are tfaroagb-
ont in accordance with other declinable sterna, and not with verbal
toots-
1138. Apait £iom this, every such stem is made by a
suffix. And these suffixes fall into two general classes:
ioy Google
419 Primary AMD Secohdabt 3npnxE8. [ — 1140
A. Primaiy suffixes, or thoae which aie added directly
to roota; v
B. Secondary suMxee, oi thoae which are added to de-
rivative stems (also to pronominal roots, a6 just pointed out,
and sometimes to particles].
a. The dlviiloD of primair lafflxeg uBnly conwponda to the k|t
(moie regulu) and ui^adl (Im* Te|;nlar) lofOxM of the Hlndn gnmniulaDa ;
tho iMoaitiy, to theii taddtaita-BDlttiee.
1139. But this distinction, though one of high value,
theoretically and practically, is not absolute. Thus:
a. SnffiieB come to have the aspect and the nae of primary which
really contain a secondary ' element — that la to say, the earliest
words exbibitiog them were made by addition of secondary enffises
to words already derivative.
b. Sandrr eiamplei of thU will he pointed ont balow; thai, the
gernndlTal sufBies, tavya, an^^ etc, the Bufftiea nka and aka, tra,
>nd otheN. Thii oilgia ia probable for more cuei than admit of demon-
jitntion; md it la aamirable for others which show no dlatlnct sigDi of
eompoelUon.
o. Less often, a anffiz of primary nae passes over tn part Into
secondary, throagb the medium of use with denominative "rootB" or
ottierwise: examples are yn, Iman, iyaa and l^fha, ta.
1140. Moreover, primary suffixes are added not only
to niore origiiLal roots, but, generally with equal ^eedom,
to elements whioh have come to wear in the language the
aspect of such, by being made the basis of primary ooa-
jugation — and even, to a certain extent, to the bases of
secondary conjugation, the conjugation-stems, and the bases
of tense-inflection, the tense-stems.
a. The most conaptcoon* azample* of thla are the paitlolplea, pteaent
and tatoie and peifect, which aie made alike from tenae and oonjugatlon-

a. Whatever, namely, may have been originall; and strictly the
mode of prodaction of the derlTatives with prefixes. It is throag{ioat
the recorded life of tbe langnage as if the root and its prefix or pre-
fixes constitnted a udUj, from which a derivative is formed in tbe
same manoer as from the simple root, with that modification of ^le
radical meaning which appears also In the proper verbal fonne ta
compounded with the same prefixes.
b. Not derivatives of every kind are thns made; but, in the maiit,
those classes which have most of the verbal force, or which are most
akin In value with infinitives and participles.
o. The oeemreDce of aneh derlTitlves with prefliea, and their accent,

order of theli rompuative frequency), beside* root-stem«, those in a, in
~ ana, in tl, in tar and tra, and in in, 7a, van and man, 1 and a, as,
and a few others.
1143. The suffixes of both classes are sometimes joiaed to tlieir
primitives by a preceding nu ion-vowel — that Is to say, by one which
wears that aspect, and, in oat ignorance or unoertaibty as to its real
origin, may most conveniently and safely be called by that name.
The line between these vowels and those deserving to be ranked as
of organio suffissl character cannot be sharply drawn.
£ach of the two great classes will now be taken np by itself,
for more particular consideration.
A. Primary Oarivatives.
1148. Form of loot. The form of root to which a
primary su^x is added is liable to mors or less variation.
Thus;
a. By far tbe most frequent is a strengthening change, by ffu^a-
or TTddbl-increment Tbe former may oconr ander all cironmstancM
(except, of course, where gu^a-change is in general forbidden: 885,

a loot is used as stem wltboat aDlHi (1147d], and before a following y

1144. Accent Ko general laws fgoveming the place of the
accent are to be recognized: each eufBx must in this respect be con-
sidered by itself.
a. In coDneMlon with a very few sofBieB Is to be recognized a cer-
tain degree of tendency to accent (he toot in cue of a nomen aelionu or
InflnltiTal derivative, and the ending In tbe case of a nomtn aganti* or
paitidplil derivative: see the snfBzes a, ana, aa, an, and man, below,
where the eiamples are coDslderd. Differences of accent in word< made
by the same bdMi are also occasionally connected with dffterencea of gender:
aee the snfBies as and man.
1146. Meaning. As regards their sigDificaCion, the primary
derivatives fall in general into two great classes, tbe one indicatlDg
the action expressed by the verbal root, the other the person or
thing in which tbe action iqipears, the agent or actor — tbe latter,
either substantively or adjectively. Tbe one class is more abstract,
infinitival; tbe other is more concrete, parUcipial. Other meanings

gu^a-stiengthening of the loot-Towelj especially a laige claas
of neutei nouns, mostly abstract (action-nouns), but some-
times assuming a oonciete value; and also, in the older
language, a few agent-nouns and adjectives, and a consid-
erable number of infinitives.
a. The &cc«nt in words of the first oUsb Is on the root, and in
the second on the ending; and In a few instances words of the two
olasssB hBviDs the same form are distingaished by their accent; the
infinitives have for the most part the accent on the suffix.
1. b. Examples of the first and principal class are: ivos aid,
favor, t&pas toarmth, priyss pleaiurt, tijaa splendor, gr^vas famt,
dobaa minting, k&rae dted, pr&thas breadth, o6taB and m^nas mind,
c&k^B eye, Biiras pond, v&oas tpeeeh.
O. A few voTds of this claia are of Iriegnlar fonnation: |thDl, without
etrengthening of the root, Juvaa qutekiutt (beiide j&vaa), 'uraa hrtati,
m^dhas oonttmpt; and Iras- (iraay-) and vipas-, and the adverbi tdr&s,
mith&B, boras-, also ^ras head, are to be compated) — with vfddhi'
BtiengthealDg, -vaoaa, tsbbb, vahaa, -Bv&daa, and, of doubtful oonnect-
ioDs, p^as, pitbas, and •hftyas; — peihapB with an aoristlo a, h^faa
mi»lile; — pivas eoatatna a v apparently not radical.
d. After final S of a root li usually Inserted y before the sntlli
(S68): thus, dh£yas, -gayaa. But there are in the oldest language appar-
ent remaina of a formation in which aa was added directly to radical ft:
thai, bhita and -dfis (often to be pronounced as two ayllablei), J&aS,
m^l and -dhaa and -das, from tbe roots dbS and d&.

4. k. The fonnation of derlvativei in aa tiom roots compounded with
prellies is very restricted — If, indeed, it is to be admitted at all. No inDn-
ItlTB in aa occurs with a prefli; nor any acllon-noun; and the adjecdve
combinations are in some Instances evidently, and In most others apparently,
posaessiTe compounds of the nonn with the predx used adjectirely : the
most probable exceptions are -iiy6baB and vlfpardliafl. Aa in these

of derivatives, of all genders: adjectives and masculine
agent-nouns, feminine abstracts, and a few neuteis. They
show a various foim of the root: strong, weak, and re-

have meanings much speoialiied; and many (including most
of the neuters) are hardly to be connected with any root
elsewhere demonstrable.

have the latter accent: in several instances, a neuter and
a masculine, of the one and the other value and accent,
stand side by side. The root has in general the gn^^a-

1160. ^ van. By this suffix are made almost only
agent-wotds, adjectives and nouns, the lattei chiefly mas-
culines. The loot is unstiengthened, and to a shoit final
Towel is added a rT t before the suffix. The aooent is almost
always on the root, both in the simple woids and in theit
compounds.

We take up now the other inffiiea forming agent-nouns and
adjectives, beginning wiib tliose which have more or less a parti-
cipial value.
1176. ? u. With this suffix are made a considerable
body of derivatives, of very various chaiacter — adjectives,
and agent-nouns of all genders, with different tieatmeat of
the root, and with different accent. It is especially used
with certain conjugational stems, desideiative (particularly
later) and denominative (mainly earlier], making adjectives
with the value of present participles; and in such use it
wins in part the aspect of a secondary suffix.
a. The root has oftenest a veak (or weakened) form; but It is
aometimea vriddhied; least often [when capable of gu^a), it has the
guna-strengtheDing — all without any apparent connection with either
accent or meaning or gender. After final radical K is usually added
y (2S8) before tbe suffix. A few derivatives are made from the te-
dnplicated root. But many words ending in u are not readily, or not
at all, conneotible with roots; examples will be given especially of
those that have an obvious etymology.

suffix, as r^ards both their mode of formation and tbeii
usee, have been the subject of remark more than onoe
above (see 869 ff., 942 ff.). Agent-nouns are freely formed
with it at every period of the language; these in the oldest
language are very frequently used participially, governing
an object in the accusative (271 d) ; later they entet into
'combination with an auxiliary verb, and, assuming a future

o. The aooent, in the older language, is somettmea on the snffiz
and Bomclimea on the root; or, from roots combined with prefixes,
sometimes on the suffix and sometimes on the prefix.

1204. The most frequent change in eecoadaty derivation
ia the TrddM-Btrengthening of an initial syllable of the stem
to which a suffix is added.
a. The Btrengthened syllable maj be of any ohamoter: radlotl,

(agvfn), eaamyi (a^iaa), ptrthiva (ppthlvi), ftmitrit (amitra), aim-
ri^ya (aamraj), aftCikftya (sukpti), mUtrSvaru:^ (mltravinu^),

ISOB. Accent, a. The derivatives with initial TTddhl-atrengUi-
ening alwajs bave their accent on either the firet or the last B^llabte.
And nsuallj it is laid, aa between these two sitaationa, in snob a
way u to be furthest removed from the aocent of the primitive; yet,
not rarely, it ie merely drawn down upon the Bnffix from the final of
the latter; much tesa often, it remaina upon an initial syllable without
change. Only in the case of one or two suffixes is the distinction
between Initial and final accent connected with aoy difference tn the
meaning and use of the derivatives (aee below, snfBx «ya: ISIS).
b. No other generAI rales as to accent, can be given. DBoaliy
the suffix takes the tone, or else this remuna where it was in the
primitive; qaite rarely, it la thrown back to the Initial syllable (>a in
derivation with initial Trddlii); and In a single case (tS: 1237) it is
drawn down to the syllable preceding the snfGi.
1206. Meaning, a. The great maaa of secondary anfSzes are
adjective-making: they form from Douns adjectives indicating apptu-
tenance or relation, of the most Indefinite and varied character. Bat,
as a matter of coarse, this indefiniteneas often nndergoea speciali-
zation: so, partionlarly, into designation of procedure or descent, so
that distinctive patronymic and metronymic and gentile words are the
reanlt; or, again, into the designation of poasesslon. Moreover, while
the masoDlines and femintnes of such adjectives are employed as
appellativea, the neuter is also widely used aa an abatract, denoting
the quality expreaaed attributively by the adjective; and neater ab-
stracts are with the eame snifixes made from adjectives. There are
also special suffixes (very few) by which abatraots are made direcUy,
from adjective or noun.
b. A few suffixes make no change In the part of speech of the
primitive, but either change its degree (diminution and comparison),
or make other modifications, or leave its meaning not sensibly altered.
1207, The Buffixea will be taken up below in the following
order. Firat, the general adjective-making auffixes, beginning with
those of moat frequent uae (a, ja and Ita connectiona, 1, ka); then,
those of apeclfic possesalve value |in, vant and mant, and their con-
nectiona); then, the abatract-roaking ones [t& and tva, and their con-
nectiooa); then, the suffixes of comparison etc.; and finally, those by
which derivatives are made only or almost only from partiolea.

1208. Q a. With this suffix ate made an immensely
large class of derivatives, &om nouns oi fiom adjectives
having a noun-value. Such derivatives ate primarily and
especially adjectives, denoting having a relation oi connection
{of the most various kind] toith that denoted by the more
primitive word. But they are also freely used substantively :
the masculine and feminine as appellatives, the neuter,
especially and frequently, as abstract. Often they have a
patronymic or gentile value.

Thus:

FORBIATION OF COMPOUND STEMS.
1246. Thb frequent combination of declinable stems
with one another to form oompoimdB which then aie tieated
as if simple, in respect to acoent, inflection, and oonatruo-
tion, is a conspicuous feature of the language, from its
earliest period.
a. There la, however, a marked difference 'between the earlier
and the later language as regards the length and intrieacy of the
comblnaUoaa allowed. In Teda and Bithmana, it ia quite rare that
more than two sterna are compoanded together — except that to some
much nsed and famtliar compound, as to an integral word, a ftartber
element is sometimes added. Bnt the later the period, and, espeoiallj,
the more elaborate the stjle, the more a emnbrona and dlffieolt aggm-
gate of elements, abnegating the advantages of an Inflective langaage,
takes the place of the due syntactical nnlon of formed words into
1247. Sanskrit compounds fall into three principal
classes :
I. a. Copulative or aggi^ative compounds, of which
the members are syntically coordinate: a joining t<^ethet
into one of words which in an uncompounded condition
would be connected by the conjunction <md (rarely or).

«. The memlwrt of msh ■ Bomponnd miy obTtouIy be of eny nom-
bw, two 01 moie than two. No compowtd of eny othet cUu our oontiin
noia th*n two memben — of which, howeiu, aithoi oi both may be muh
poond, ot deoompowid (below, 1348).
U. d. Deteiminative eomponnds, of which theformei
member is syDtaotioally dependent on the latter, aa ita
deteimisiDg ot qualifying adjunct: being eithei, 1. a noun
(oi pionoun) limitit^ it iu a case-ielation, or, 2. an adjeotire
ot adverb deeciibing it. And, according a« it U the one
01 the other, are to be distinguished the two sub-classea:
A. Dependent compounds; and B. Descriptive com-
pounds. Their difference is not an absolute one.
e. Examples are: of dependent eomponnda, amitraseni army of
enemies, pKdodaka leater for the /eel, arnrda life-giving, bABtc^fta
made uriih the handi; of deBcrlptive eooipODDde, mahavfl jfreal sage, prlya-
■aklil dear friend, amitra enemy, sAkpta icell done.
r. These two claaacB are of primary valae; tbey have undergone
no nnlfThig modification in the prooess of oonposltioo; their charac-
ter as parts of speeoh is determined b; their &ial memt>er, and they
are capable of being resolTed into equivalent phrssea bj giving the
proper independent form and formal means of conaeotion to each
member. That is not the case with the remaining class, which aecor-
dingly is more fmidamentaily distinct from them than they are from
one another.
in. g. Secondary adjective compounds, the value
of which ia not given by a simple resolution into their
component parts, but which, though having as final member
a noun, are themselves adjectives. These, again, are of two
anb-elasses: A. Possessive compounds, which are noun-
oompounds of the preceding diass, with the idea of potsess-
mg added, turning them from nouns into adjectives ;
B. Compounds in which the second member is a noon syn-
tactically dependent on the first: namely, 1. Prepositional
compounds, of a governing pieposition and following noun ;

'ffrttn gmriandi; atlinfttT& excaiiive; y&ray4ddveqft8 driving meag
j. The adjective 'Ompoandg aie, like simple adjectlres, liable Id be
used, especliUr In the neater, aa abstract and collefttve nonna, and in the
acensatlTS as adTetba; and out of these ases haxe grown appaient speHal

marians. The relatton of the olaselfleatlon glisn above to that present«d in
the native gtammai, and widely adopted from the latter b; tba Earopesn
gramman, will be made olear aa we go on to treat the classes In detail.
1248. A 4H>iDpound may, like a simple woid, become a
member in anothet compound, and this in yet another —
and 8o on, without definite limit. The analysis of any
compound, of whatever length (unless it be a oopulatiTe),
must be made by a succession of bisections.
a. Thus, the dependent oomponnd pflrr^utmsktiiK dont in a preeioia
exiltence ti flrat dlvjalbla Into kfi« and the desrripllTe pSrT^Jnjtnuul,
then this into ita elemeiitg ; the dependeat BaknlanItiqaBtnttattv4J&»
knmeing ilu eatenet of all hooki of htkatior has flrst the root-stem j&a
(fttr VjfiB) knowmg separated ^m the rest, which la again dependent; then
this is divided Into tattra Mttnce and the remainder, whlrh Is descriptive;
this, again, divides Into sakftla aU and nttlfRatra hookt of hahaoior, of
whioh the Islter Is a. dependent compound and the fonner a possessive (u
and kalS havmg it» parU tog*lher).
1249. a. The final of a stem is combined with the initial
of another stem in composition according to the general
rules for external combination: they have been given, with
their exceptions, in chap. III.,' abore.
b. If a stem has a distinction of strong and weak forms,
it r^ularly enters into composition as prior member in its
weak form; or, if it has a triple distinction (311), in its
middle form.

1260. But a oaee-fonb In the prior member of a eomponnd is by
no meana rare, from the earliest period of the laognage. Thus:
a. Qaite often, an aooaiatlTB, especially before a root-item, or a derir-

dhaiiadija7& tainnmg tceallh, abhayaitikaT& caiuing abitnee of danger,

are sometimes combined into compounds.

1268. The noun-copulatives fall, as regards their in-
flectire form, into two classes:
1. a. The compound has the gender and declension of
its final member, and is in number a dual ot a plural,
according to its logical value, as denoting two or more than
two individual things.

II. Determinattv* Compoandt.
1262. A noun or adjective is often combined into a
oompound with a preoediag^eteimiiung oi qualifying word
— a nomif or adjective, or adretb. Such a compound is
conveniently called deteiminative.
1288. This is the class of compounds which is of most
geneial and frequent occiAence in all biancfaes of Indo-
European language. Its two principal divisions have bem
already pointed out: thus, A. Dependent compounds, in
which the prior member is a substantive word (noun or pro-
noun or substantively used adjective), standing to the other
member in the relation of a case dependent on it; and
B. Descriptive compounds, in which the prior member is
an adjective, or other word having the value of an adject-
ive, qualif^g a'noun; or else an adverb or its equivalent,
qualifying an adjective. Each of these divisions then falls
into two sub-divisions, according as the final member, and
therefore the whole compound, is a noun or an adjective.
a. The whole class of detennlnatiTeB is called b; the Hindu
gmnmsrlaiui tatpurofa (the term Is a ipecimen of the class, mesa-
Ing Aw nun); aod the second divisioii, the deuripdves, hu tiie
special name of kannadhKro^a (of obscure application: ike literal
senw is something like o^fioa-hearim/). After their evniple, thg two
divisions are in finropean usage widely known by these two names
reqteetiTsly-
A. Dependant Compounds.
1264, Dependent Nouo-compounds. In this di-
vision, the oase-relation of the prior member to the othe^
may be 'of any kind; but, in accordance with the usual re-
lations of one noun to another, it is oftenest genitive, and
least often accusative.

12eB. Dependent AdjeotiTe-oompounda. la this
divisioD, only a very small proportion of the compoundj
have an ordinaiy adjective as final member; but uaually a
participle, or a deiivative of agency with the value of a
participle. The prior member stands in any case-relation
which is possible in the independent oonstiuctioa of such
words.
a. Eismples are: of locatiie leUtion, ath&Upabva cooktd ui a p«t,
aqvakovlda knowing in horset, vaya^aama alike in age, Tadhlffhlra
eleadfaet in battle, taiili9ablira beautiful in body; — of iDitnunental,

1266. We take up now some of the principal groups of oomponnda
'falling under these two beads, in order to notice their specialities of
fonnaljon and use, their relative frequency, their aooentnati<Mi,-aDd so on.
1267. Compounds having as final member ordinary nouns [ench,
namely, as do uot disduotly exhibit the character of verbal nouns,
of action or agency) are quite common. They are regslarly and obd-
ally accented on the final syllable, without reference to theaocent'of
either constituent. Examples were given above |ise4sk).

B. A prtnslpil exception viti) regud to accent is p&tl matter, lord
(uid ita femlulDe p&tnl], compoundi with which u«iuUy tettio the ac«ent

»pBar&pat{ and vrajapati (AT.), and naiSpati (VS.), citpatl (MS.j
BlBBwhete oitp&ti).
b. Other ezoeptiDDs are iporadio only : for example, Janar^aa, dava-

^Aoa^qfipa. And ^B. bae ■ long Hit of metron^mlu hiTing the anoma-
lona MoaDtoattoQ kftatalp^tra, g&rgiputra, etc.
1268. The compoundB haying an ordinaiy adjective as final mem-
ber are [ae already noticed) comparatively few.
' a. So far as can be gathered ^om the scanty examples occnrring in
the older lingoage, they retain the acceut of (he prior member: thna,
S&vii^tbiTa (AV gavifthira), tanftgubbra, m&deragbu, y^jfi&dbira,
aoioavlpra, tUiunlgra (but tila); but kf^^apaori ripening in eulti-
vafed toil.
1268. Tbe adjective dependent compounds having ae final mem-
ber the bare lOOt — or, if It end in a short vowel, generally with
an added t — are very nuinerouB in all periods of tbe language, aa
baa been already repeatedly noticed (thus, 888 f-h, 1147). They are
accented on the root.
a. Irr a very tew instances, the accent of words having apparently or
conjecturally thia origin le otherwise laid: thus, i^aatro, inarvig, Bvivfi,
praty&k^adpg, puraibdtal, o^adhl, tounlj, u^&dagb, vatn&pa, ibda.
b. Before a final root-stem appears not very seldom a caae-forDlj for
example, pstaihgii, glrSvfdli, dhiy^iir, akfi^ay&dnUi, h^dlapff,
dlvispf;, vanea&h, dlvl^d, aBige;tb£, brtBT&s, prtoutfir, apatiji.

1270. Compounds made witb verbal derivatives in a, both of
aetioD and of agency, are nameroDs, and take the accent nsnally on

III. Secondary Adjective Compounds.
1202. a. A compound having a noun as its final mem-
ber very often wins secondarily the value of an adjective,
being inflected in the three genders to agree with the noun
which it qualifies, and used in all the constructions of an
adjective.
b. This class of compounds, as was pointed out above
(1247. ni), falls into the two divisions of A. Fossessivea,
having their adjective character given them by addition of
the idea of possessing', and B, those in which the final
member is syntactically dependent on or governed by the
prior member.
A. Fosseasive Oompoonds,
1298. The poBsessives are noun-compounds of the pie-
ceding dass, determinatives, of all its various subdivisions,,
to which is given an adjective inflection, and which take
on an adjective meaning of a kind which is most conve-
niently and accurately defined by adding having or pos-
seasmg to the meaning of the determinative.

teho M a grtat poet, and that it life-giving, but b^hadratlLa, peoaauiTe,
means uAo hat a great chariot, or tekote u a great chariot.
1S84. a. Thst a noDn, simple 01 componnd, ahoold be added to an-
other nonn, in an opposite way, with a Talne TlTtoally attrlbnUTe, and tbal
such nouns should ooeastonally gain by frequent usociation and applioadon
an adjective form also, la uatmal enongh, and occun in many Ungnagei;
the peculiarity of the Sanskrit formation lies In two tblof*. Pint, that
iuoh use should have become a perfectly regular and Indellnltely extensible
one in the case of compounded woids, to that any compound with nonn-
dnal may be tamed without alteration Into an adjectire, while to • simple
noun must be added an adJectlTe-maklng sofOs in older to adapt It to
adj^lve nsei for example, thst while baata most become h""**" and
bUia mast. become bUmmant, hlra^ahasta and mohKbilia ehangs
from noan to adjective valoe with no added ending. And second, that
the lelatteo of the qnalilled nonn to the componnd should have come to be
so generally that of pouesslon, not of llheaees, not of ^pnitenance, nor of
any other relation which Is as nstarally Involved in such a eonsttactlon:
that we may only say, for example, mabftbUm^ purnfa^ man toitk
grtat armi, and not also mabfibihtu ma^il^ jttetl for a great arm, ot
mabibKbavai^ qikhB^ brandiet like great armt.
b. There are, however, in the older language a few derivative ad-
jective compoanda which Imply the relation of appnitenaoce rather than that
of potseesion, and which are with probability to be viewed as suivlvals of
a State of things antecedent (0 the specialiiatton ot the general olass at

but oftenest, the poBsCBBive has as a compound the natural accent

1286. Possessively used dependent compounds, 01 pos-
sessive dependents, aie very much less oommoo than
those conesponding to the othei division of deteiminatives.
a. Fnrtbei azamplea are : may^aroman having the ptumei of pea-

are ver? common, and for tbe moat part follow the same rule of
accent which is followed by compounds with other adjectlvea: ex-
cepted are thoae beginning with dvi and tri, which accent in geoeral
the finat member.

b. Exceptions in regard to accent are hut few, and haie tha tone on

in an, i, or a consonant: thus, eatoTBik^ etc. (akf&n or &kfl: 431),

the general snalogy, and accent the numeral: tbus, for example, dvipaik^a,
