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-

Oriental  Society,  in- 1881.

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

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.

PREFACE 

TO  THE  Sbcohd  Edition. 

In  preparing  a  new  edition  of  this  grammar,  I  have 
made  nse  of  the  new  material  gathered  by  myself  during 
the  intervening  years,**  and  also  of  that  gathered  by  others, 
80  far  as  it  was  accessible  to  me  and  fitted  into  my  plan;*** 
and  I  have  had  the  benefit  of  kind  suggestions  f^om  varions 
quarters  —  for  all  of  which  I  desire  to  return  a  grateful 
acknowledgment.  By  such  help,  I  have  been  able  not  only 
to  correct  and  repair  certain  errors  and  omissions  of  the 
first  edition,  but  also  to  speak  with  more  definiteness  upon

as  a  Supplement  to  tbe  grammar,  under  the  title  "Roots,  Verb-Forms, 
and  Primary  Derivativee  of  the  Sanskrit  Language". 

***  Especially  deserving  of  mention  is  HoltEmann's  oollectioD  of

very  many  points  relating  to   the  material  and  usages  of 
the  language. 

In  order  not  to  impair  the  applicability  of  the  referen- 
ces already  made  to  the  work  by  rarioiis  authors,  its  para- 
graphing has  been  retained  nnchanged  throughout;  for  in- 
creased cODTenience  of  further  reference,  the  sabdirisionB 
of  paragraphs  have  been  more  thoroughly  marked, 'by  letteni 
(now  and  then  changing  a  former  lettering);  and  the  par- 
agraph-numbers hare  been  set  at  the  outer  instead  of  the 
inner  edge  of  the  upper  margin. 

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 
year  or  two  the  completion  of  this  revision,  and  hare  made 
it  in  some  parts  lees  complete  than  I  should  have  desired.

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-

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-

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

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 
even  from  the  Itrrihmauas,  are  extracted  the  earliest  Upa- 
nitiads    [sittittga,    lectures    on    sacred   subjects)    —    which ,

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,

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.

9.  Of  the  deranfigAri  iUelf  there  are  nlnoT  varieties,  depending  on

notlcei  of  HfiS.  In  IiidUn  HbTaiiei,  In  the  publlbhed  fac-^imiles  of  in-

1.  The  Btudcnt  may  be  advised  to  try  to  ramiliariie  himself  from 
the  Btart  with  the  deTuiftgan  mode  of  writing.  At  the  same  time, 
it  U  not  indiBpensable  that  he  should  do  bo  until,  having  learned  the 
principal  paradigms,  be  comes  to  begin  reading  and  analysing  and 
parsing;  and  many  wilt  find  the  latter  the  more  practical,  and  in  the 
end  equally  or  more  effective,  way.

a.  To  thcBe  mny  be  nddcd  n.  lingual  1  X,  which  in  some  of  the 
Vedic  textB  takes  the  place  of  3  4  when  occurring  between  two 
vowels  (M). 

8.  A  few  other  Boun<le,  recogoized  by  the  theories  of  the  Eindu 
frrammaritin?,  but  either  having  no  acpnrate  characters  to  represent 
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. 

A,  In  eomi  worka  (ae  the  Petenburg  leiicon),  i  vlaargft  whteh  Is  le- 
gtided  u  eqalvilent  to  and  «xchang»ibte  Tjtb  >  ilbtUnt  (17S)  it,  though 
written  »  vlsarga,  given  tha  ilpbabetic  pli(e  of  the  sibilant. 

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

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

free  nse  of  the  Tir&mtt-Biga  (11)  Qnder  finnl  conHonuts:  thus,  for 
example, 

or  even  by  Indicating  nlao  tbe  combiDations  of  initial  and  final  vowela 
(126,  137):  for  example, 

e.  In  traneiitentiDg,  WeBteni  methods  of  separation  of  words  are 
of  course  to  be  followed;  to  do  otbervise  wonld  be  simple  pedantry. 

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- 
caalonall)'  reaoited  to  by  acribea,  di  Id  pilot,  in  order  to  BToid  an  awkward 
or  difficult  combination  of  coneonant-eigiis:  tbna,

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, 
rPTT  tamya; 

of  five  consonants,  f^  rtsnya. 
a.  The  mtnuEcriptfl,  and  the  type-fonts  u  well,  differ  fiom  one  knother

leadlly  to  antlyBB  tad  eiplsio. 

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.

CHAPTER  n. 


SYSTEM  OF  SOUNDS;  PRONUNCIATION. 

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) 
oluEes  a  IB  guttural,  but  sppireiitif  only  Izi  older  to  giv«  that  series  as 
veil  BS  the  rest  a  Yovrel ;  no  one  of  the  PTitl9akby)is  puts  a  Into  one  clafs 
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. 

a.  Some  ot  the  Blndit  gratnoiKrluis  idd  to  Ihe  tipbabet  also  a  long  ); 
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).

leu  qnintltf  than  the  t  and  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 
accordance  with  these  taroiB.  All  alike  recognlee  a  dKrcrence  of  tone,  and  not 
in  any  manner  •  dllTaience  oT  force,  vbetber  of  contact  or  of  eipalsion,  aa 
aeparatirig  the  tiro  great  classea  in  question.  That  the  difference  depends  on 
Tlv&ra  opening,  or  aaifav&ra  ch$ur«  {of  the  gloltie),  ie  alio  recognised 
by  them. 

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.

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). 

a.  The  guttnraii  «ra  daftned  by  the  PrldcakhyM  as  nude  by  contsrt  ot 
the  buc  of  the  tongae  with  the  hase  of  the  Jaw,  and  tliey'ars  called,  from 
the  former  organ,  JlbT&inuliya  tongue-root  sounds.  The  Paiiinem  ich^uie 
de*cribe9  them  limply  as  made  lu  the  throat  (kai^Jhaj.  From  tho  eujjhoiiic 
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 


j,i,....,LiOOglC

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 
to  its  original  guttural.  No  palatal  ever  occurs  as  a  final.  The  J  is 
differently  treated,  according  as  it  represents  the  one  or  the  other 
degree  of  alteration.  And  o  and  j  (except  artificially,  in  the  algebraic 
rules  of  the  grammarians)  do  not  interchange,  as  corresponding  snrd 
and  Bonant. 

44.  The  palatal  mutee  are  by  European  scholars,  as  by 
the  modern  Hindus  also,  pronounced  with  the  compound 
sounds  of  English  ch  and  j  (in  church  and  Judge).

Me  called  tilaTya  palatal,  and  declared  to  be  formed  againat  tbe  palate  by

from  t  +  f  (SOS),  lead  to  tbe  suspicion  that  it,  at  least,  may  have  had 
this  character  from  the  beginning:  compare  87  d,  above. 

4B.  Lingual  series:  ?1 1,  7  (h,  I  <},  ^  4h,  HI  Q.  The 
lingual  mutes  are  by  all  the  native  authorities  defined  as 
uttered  with  the  tip  of  the  tongue  turned  up  and  drawn 
back  into  the  dome  of  the  palate  (somewhat  as  the  usual 
English  smooth  r  is  pronounced).  They  are  called  by  the 
grammaTians  mftrdhanya,  literally  head-sounds,  capitals,

lendeied  by  'ceiebrals'.  In  practice,  among  Euiopean 
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

more  freqaeut  in  the  later  panages.  In  the  Eig-Veda,  only  15  words  have

9  that  have  ^k^;  and  30  (Inoludlng  1  root)  show  a  1^ 

b.  Taken  all  together,  the  lingnals  are  by  far  the  rarest  class  of 
mutes  (about  t'/j  per  cent,  of  the  alphabet)  —  hardly  half  as  frequent 
even  as  the  palatals. 

47.  Dental  series:  q^t,  q^th,  ^  d,  U  dh,  ^T^n.  These 
are  called  by  the  Hindus  also  dantya  dental,  and  are

a.  The  name  giren  to  this  claas  of  rounds  by  tbe  Hindu  grammarians  Is 
antahstbA  ttanding  bttieetn  —  either  from  their  character  as  ntterancos 
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 
series  —  thongh  not  without  some  discordances  of  view  —  by  the  Hiudn 
grammarians.  They  are  said  to  be  produced  with  tbe  organa  slightly 
in  contact  (i^atapi^t^),  or  in  imperfect  contact  (duhap^^faj. 

62.  The  ^  r  is  clearly  shown  by  its  influence  in  the 
euphonic  processes  of  the  language  to  be  a  lingual  sound, 
or  one  made  with  the  tip  of  the  tongue  turned  up  into  the 
dome  of  the  palate.  It  thus  resembles  the  English  smooth  r, 
and,  like  this,  seems  to  have  been  untrilled.

by  h  for  a  4^)  when  occurring  between  two  vowels.  It  ia,  then,

of  the  lingual  instead  of  the  dental  mute  closure.

SB.  The  n*  y  in  Sanskrit,  aa  in  other  languages  generally, 
stands  in  the  oloseat  relationship  with  the  vowel  ^  i  (short 
or  long);  the  two  exchange  with  one  another  in  cases  ia- 
numerable.

where,  in  oonfoimlty  with  the  roles  o(  the  later  Sanskrit  eopbony,  a  y  ta

that  of  a  stem  maintains  itself  unchanged  before  an  ending;  and  an  ending 
of  derivation  —  as  ya,  tya  —  has  1  Instead  of  y.  Sacb  cases  will  he  noticed

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 
except  to  a  w-sound  in  the  English  sense:  a  c-souud  (German  u>)  is 
no  semivowel,  bnt  a  spirant,  standing  on  the  same  articulate  stage 
with  the  English  fA-sounds  and  the  /

steam,  Jiatus),  which  is  usually  and  well  represented  by 
spirant,  some  of  the  Hindu  authoiities  include  all  the  remain- 
ing sounds  of  the  alphabet;  others  apply  the  term  only  to 
the  three  sibilants  and  the  aspiration  —  to  which  it  will  here 
also  be  restricted.

60.  The  TT  B.  Of  the  three  Bibilants,  ot  suid  spirants, 
this  is  the  one  of  plainest  and  least  questioned  character: 
it  is  the  ordinary  European  3  —  a  hiss  expelled  between 
the  tongue  and  the  roof  of  the  mouth  directly  behind  the 
upper  front  teeth. 

a.  It  is,  then,  dental,  u  it  ie  clasBed  by  all  tlie  Hinda  aDtborities. 
NotwithBtanding  the  great  tosses  which  it  suffers  in  Saoskrit  euphony, 
hj  conveTBioQ  to  the  other  sibilants,  to  r,  to  TiBarga,  etc.,  it  is 
■till  very  high  among  the  coDBonantB  in  the  order  of  fiequeucy,  or 
considerably  more  common  than  both  the  other  two  sibilants  together. 

dl.  The  ^  9-  As  to  the  character  of  this  sibilant,  also, 
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 
character.

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

as  s  than  as  «A.

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 
i»  that  of  a  »onaut:  but  what  le  its  precise  value  Is  very  bard  to  say.  The 
Pauiuein  scheme  ranks  U  as  guttural,  as  It  does  also  a:  thia  meint  nothing.

upintei  —  with  the  element  by  which,  for  eiunple,  gh  differs  from  g. 
This  view  U  aopparted  bjr  tlia  derivation  of  h  ftom  the  aapiiates  (ueit 
paiagiaph),  bjr  that  of  1  4-  b  from  ^  (S4),  and  by  the  treatment  of  initial 
h  after  a  Bnal  mute  (168). 

68.  Tbe  h,  as  alreadj  noticed,  is  not  an  original  sonnd,  bnt 
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), 
uttered  in  the  articulating  position  ot  the  preceding  vowel. 

a.  One  FrBti^kh;a  (TPr.  U.  48)  glvet  jnat  this  lait  deicriptlon  of  it. 
It  Is  b;  Tarfou*  authorities  classed  with  h,  or  with  b  and  ft:  all  of  them 
are  alike  Bounda  In  whoae  utterance  the  month-oisans  have  no  definite 
shaping  action. 

68.  The  visorga  is  not  original,  but  always  only  a  substitute 
for  final  b  or  r,  neither  of  which  ia  allowed  to  maintain  itself  nnchauged 
{170ff.).  It  is  a  comparatively  recent  member  of  tbe  alphabetic 
system;  the  other  euphonic  changes  of  final  ■  and  r  have  not  passed 
through  viaarga  as  an  intermediate  stage.  And  the  Hindu  aathorittes 
are  oonsidentbly  discordant  with  one  auotber  as  to  bow  far  1;  Is  a 
necessary  aubstitnte,  and  how  iax  a  permitted  oim,  alternative  with 
a  sibilant,  before  a  following  initial  surd. 

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, 
it  would  seem,  in  the  direction  of  the  (German)  ch-  and  /-sounds.

above)  where  soma  of  the  Fratifakhyas  leqolre  it  by  eiaepHon. 

g.  It  ii  evidently  a  lali  qnestlDn  whethai  this  dlseoidance  and  nnoertalnty 
of  the  Hindu  phanetisls  is  owini  to  a  real  difference  of  utteraoce  in  different 
ctasaes  of  eases  and  in  different  localitleB,  or  whether  to  a  different  scholaetlc 
analysis  of  what  la  really  everywheTe  the  same  utterance.  If  anuBTftra 
I*  a  nasal  element  following  the  vowel,  it  cannot  well  be  any  thing  bnt 
either  a  proIongatioD  ot  the  same  vowel-sonnd  with  nasality  added,  or  a 
nasalized  bit  of  nenlral-vowel  eonnd  (in  the  latter  case,  however,  the  altering 
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). 

a.  The  Pratlfikhyaa  (YPt„  RPr.)  give  determinatloni  of  the  qaandty 
of  the  anxuvftra  combining  irlth  a  short  and  with  a  long  vowel  respectively 
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-

c.  A  dipbtboDg  Is  piotracted  by  prolongation  of  its  Biet  or  a-elemcnt:

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. 

b.  Thla  aeema  to  mean  that  the  TOlee,  which  la  borne  up  at  the  higher 
pitch  to  the  end  of  the  acute  syllable,  does  not  ordinarily  drop  to  grave 
pilch  by  an  Instantaneous  movement,  bat  descends  by  a  more  or  lets  per- 
ceptible slide  In  the  course  of  the  following  ayllable.  No  Hindu  authority 
snggeats  the  theory  of  a  middle  or  Interniediate  tone  for  the  enclitic,  any 
more  than  for  the  independent  clnnimflei.  For  the  moat  part,  tbe  two  are 
Identiasd  with  one  another,  in  treatment  and  designation.  The  enclitic 
eimunltex  ts  likewise  divided  into  a  unmber  of  snb -varieties,  with  different

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:

mainly  in  peculiar  ways  of  marking  the  circamflei  that  precedes  an  aoate

itself,  besides  Its  snrroundlnga,  is  marked  —  namely,  by  a  perpendlcalar 
stroke  abOTe  the  syllable  (like  that  of  the  ordinary  cirenmBei  In  the  BV.

ia  pat  under  the  preceding  syllable.  The  method  is  an  Imperfect  one,  allow- 
ing many  ambigoltles.

placed  above  the  syllables,  and  varying  according  both  to  the  aooentaal  ohuacter 
of  the  syllable  and  to  Its  snrroDndlngs.  Its  origin  is  obscure;  if  anything 
more  it  indicated  by  It  than  by  the  other  simpler  aystems,  the  fact  has  not 
been  demonstrated. 

8e.  Id  tbia  work,  as  everything  given  in  tbe  devanicart  characters 
ia  also  given  in  tianal Iteration,  it  will  in  general  be  unnecessary  to

a.  The  nnmarked  grave  tyllablei  following  a  oiicnmflei  (either  at  the 
end  of  a  lentence,  ot  till  the  neat  aproaeh  of  another  acnte)  ate  deolaied 
to  have  the  aame  high  lone  with  the  (also  nnmarhed)  acDte.  The;  are

praoita  eyllablea,  and  says  nothing  of  the  uplifting  ot  the  dicumtlei  to 
a  higher  plane;  he  teaches,  however,  a  depresalon  below  the  grave  pitch  for 
the  marked  grave  syllable  before  acnte  or  clrenmflez,  calling  It  sannatara 
(other  wise  anadSttatara). 

SI.  The  system  ot  aecentnation  a)  marked  In  (he  Tedic  texti  appears 
to  h&ve  asBumsd  in  the  traditional  recitation  of  the  Brabmanie  schools 
a  pocnliar  and  artiflclal  form.  In  which  the  designated  syllablea,  grsTe  and

s  couiplcuous  value,  wbile  the  nndeaignited,  the  acnte,  hai  sunk  into  In- 
significance. 

0S>  The  SaoBkrit  accent  taught  in  the  native  grammars  and 
represented  b^  the  acceotnated  texta  is  essentially  a  system  of  word- 
accent  only.  No  general  attempt  la  made  (any  more  than  in  the 
Qreek  syatem)  to  define  or  marb  a  sentence-accent,  the  effect  of  the 
emphasis  and  modalation  of  the  sentence  in  modifying  the  independent 
accent  of  individual  words.  The  only  approach  to  it  is  seen  (n  the 
treatment  of  vocatives  and  personal  verb-forme. 

a.  A  vocative  is  nsnally  without  accent  except  at  the  iKgiDoing 
of  a  aeotence:  for  further  details,  see  314. 

b.  A  personal  verb-form  is  usnally  accentiess  in  an  independent 
clause,  except  when  etaoding  at  the  beginning  of  the  clause:  for 
farther  details,  see  &B1  fF. 

98.  Certain  other  words  also  are,  nsnally  or  always,  without 
accent

the  number  or  the  quantity  of  the  pieceding  oi  following 
syllables.  The  accent  rests  where  the  rules  of  inflection 
or  derivation  or  composition  place  it,  without  regard  to  any

96.  Since  the  accent  is  marked  only  in  the  older  litera- 
ture, and  the  statements  of  the  grammarians,  with  the 
deduced  rules  of  accentuation,  are  &r  from  being  sufficient 
to  settle  all  cases,  the  place  of  the  stress  of  voice  for  a 
considerable  part  of  the  vocabulary  is  undetermined.  Hence 
it  is  a  geneial  habit  with  European  scholars  to  pronounce 
Sanskrit  words  according  to  the  rules  of  the  Latin  accent.

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

BD  Increued  Aegrw  of  practical  importance  beloDging  to  ths  subject 
of  eaphonio  combination. 

a.  Thi*  enpbonlc  tnterdepsndense  of  the  wUTds  at  ■  lentenoa  Ig  nn- 
knavn  to  an;  other  Ungnage  in  anything  like  the  (tme  degree  ^  and  it 
cannot  but  be  snspected  of  being  at  leait  In  part  artiflrlal,  Implying  an 
erecliOD  Into  neceaauy  and  Invariable  nilet  of  what  in  the  living  language 
were  only  optional  praeticea.  Thla  is  strongly  Indioated,  indeed,  by  the 
evidence  of  the  older  dialeot  of  the  Vedag  and  ol  tbe  derived  PrakrIHc 
dialects,  In  both  of  wbloh  some  of  tbe  m1e«  (especially  tliat  aa  to  the  biatn«  ; 
aee  113)  are  often  violated. 

lOS.  The  roots  irblch  are  anthenticated  by  tbeir  occarreace  in 
the  literary  monnmenta  of  the  language,  earlier  and  later,  anmber 
between  eight  and  nine  hundred.  About  half  or  these  Iielong  fully 
to  tbe  language  throughout  its  whole  history;  some  (about  a  hundred 
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 
khft  and  kbao,  g&  and  gam,  j&  and  Jan;  roots  made  by  an  added  i, 
as  tT&  from  t^,  mii&  from  man,  pB&  from  btaae,  yi  from  1;  roots  the 
prodoct  of  rednplicatloD,  as  Jakf  from  gbas,  dndb  from  dtaQ;  roota  with 
a  final  sibilant  of  formative  origin,  as  bhakf  and  bhlkf  from  bb^, 
iiak^  from  naQ,  qruf  froin  qrn,  hfta  from  hK;  root-forms  held  apart  by 
a  well-MtabUihed  discordance  of  inneotion  and  meaning,  which  yet  are 
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 
those  may  yet  come  to  tight,  or  may  have  existed  without  finding  their 
way  into  any  of  the  preaerved  literary  docnments,  it  is  certain  that  most 
are  flctitlODs.-  made  In  part  for  tbe  explanation  of  words  falsely  described 
as  their  derirativea,  but  in  the  main  fOr  unknown  and  perhaps  on  discoverable

o.  A  nnmbei  of  roala  ending  in  an  S  which  ia  inegnlarlj  treated  in

modlBoations,  since  it  aowbere  sbowa  itself  in  any  form  or  deiiTatife.  Snob 
roots  will  in  this  work  be  written  with  7.

ar  (rarely  ra]  as  weak  and  strong  forma  will  be  here  written  with  j,  as  by 
the  native  grammarlini,  although  many  European  anthorities  prefer  tbe  other 
or  strong  form.  So  long  as  wo  write  the  unnrengthened  vowel  In  vld  and 
ql,  in  mud  and  bho,  and  tbeir  like,  consistency  seams  to  require  that  we 
write  it  in  B^  and  kf  aleo  —  in  all  oaiei  alike,  withoat  refbienee  to  what 
may  have  been  the  more  OTiginsl  Indo-European  form. 

106.  In  many  cuei  of  roots  showing  mora  than  one  form,  the  selection 
of  a  repreaontativa  form  la  a  matter  of  compantlve  indifference.  To  deal 
with  ancb  casea  according  to  their  historical  character  ia  the  part  rather  of 
an  Indo-Enropean  comparative  grammar  than  of  a  Sinakrit  grammar.  We 
mast  be  content  to  accept  as  root*  what  elementa  aeem  to  have  on  the 
whole  that  value  in  the  existing  condition  of  the  language. 

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. 

107.  We  shall  accordingly  consider  first  of  all,  Id  the  present 
chapter,  the  euphonic  principles  and  laws  which  govern  the  combination 


Dijiiizec  ..Google

of  tbe  elements  of  words  uDd  of  words  as  elemenls  of  thu  sODtenoe; 
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.

inflection ;  the  rules  of  Bxteniii  comblnttioD  may  better  be  left  DnUaohed 
until  be  comet  to  dealing  vitb  words  iti  tenteacM,  or  to  tisniUtlng.  Then, 
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-

e.  Before  a  sibilant,  however,  la  found,  of  the  semivowels,  only  r  and 
very  rarely  1.  Moreover,  in  external  oombinatlon,  i  la  often  changed  to  its

f.  In  composition  and  ienteDce-eollooatloa,  initial  vowels  and  aemi-

moet  important  are  those  of  dental  aonnde  to  lingual,  and,  leas  often,

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.

(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: 

odfp  vyuftl  (vi-urti);  ^PJJtlfd  ftbhyBTcati; 

s^  nadySu  (nadi-Su); 

fttiy  arista  (sii-l^ta);  H*<in  tanTas  (taoa-aB). 

a.  Of  a  aimllsT  combination  of  acnte  f  with  foltowing  grave,  only  a 
alngle  ease  Itaa  been  noted  in  accented  tezta:  namely,  vljaKtr  dt4t  (1.  e. 
▼ijSftt^  et&t:  ^B.  xiT.  6.  6")',  the  accentoation  is  in  accordance  with  the 
rulea  for  1  and  tL 

ISl.  Of  a  diphthong,  the  final  1-  or  u-element  is  changed 
to  its  conesponding  Bemivowel,  IT  y  ot  ^  t,  before  any  vowel 
01  diphthong:  thus,  ^  e  (really  ai:  28  a)  becomes  Wf  &7< 
and  3^  o  (that  is,  an:  28  a)  becomes  Wi  &▼;  ^  Bi  becomes 
Om  Bjr,  and  ^  Sn  becomes  q)?  Bt. 

a.  No  change  of  accent,  of  conrae,  occnrs  here:  each  original 
syllable  retains  its  syllabic  identity,  and  hence  also  ita  own  tone. 

b.  Eiamplea  can  be  given  only  for  Internal  eombloation,  eince  in  eitetnal 
combination  there  are  farther  ebaagea;  see  the  next  psragraph.     Thus,

182.  Id  exteinal  combinatioD,  we  have  the  important 
additional  rule  that  the  semiTOwel  resulting  from  the  con- 
version of  the  final  element  of  a  diphthong  is  in  general 
dropped;  and  the  resulting  hiatus  is  left  without  fuithei 
change. 

188.  That  is  to  say,  a  final  ^  e  [the  most  frequent 
ease)  becomes  simply  ?  s  before  an  initial  vowel  (except 
Q  a:  see  136,  below),  and  both  then  remain  unchanged; 
and  a  final  ^  Si,  in  like  manner,  becomes  [everywhere] 
^  B.     Thus,

1S6.  After  final  ^  e  or  ^  o,  an  initial  CI  a  disappears.

rather  absorbed  into  the  preceding  diphthong,  having  ite  tone  dul^ 
represented  in  the  combleation.  If,  namely,  the  e  or  o  is  gTare  or 
dtcnmflex  and  the  »  acute,  the  former  becomes  acute;  if  the  «  or 
o  is  acute  and  the  a  grave,  the  former  traoomes  circumflex,  as  dsu- 
allf  in  the  fusion  of  an  acute  and  a  grave  element.  If  both  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 
altogether.

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

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,

&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-

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).

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

and  4.  we  may  farther  note  here  the  anomalons  «flkfva  (AB.)  forintrra, 
V'ldh)  and  aTfikaam  (AB.),  and  the  feminines  in  knl  from  nueealinea

O.  Of  k  or  J  to  t,  in  an  isolated  example  or  two,  as  aamT&t,  &art,

e.  Of  a  labial  to  a  dental:  In  kttkdd  for  and  beside  kalc6bh;  in 
Badiafdbhia  (TS.)  from  v'eiPi  >°d  in  adbbla,  sdhhT^a,  from  ap  or 
ftp  (393).  Excepting  the  first,  those  look  like  cases  of  disalmilatloni  yet 
examples  of  the  combination  bbh  are  not  very  rare  in  the  older  language ; 
that,  kaknbbbyftm,  triift^bbhla,  kakabbhai^^^  anugt^b  bhi. 

f.  The  forms  pratidhi^gaa,  -ffi  (TtUttiriya  texts)  from  pratldi^  are 
isolated  anomalies. 

162.  FoT  all  the  pTocesses  of  external  combination  — 
that  ifi  to  S47,  in  oompositioa  and  sentence-collocation  — 
a  stem-final  oi  wotd-final  is  in  general  to  be  legaided  as 
having,  not  its  etymolc^cal  form,  but  that  given  it  by  the 
rules  as  to  permitted  finals.  From  this,  however,  aie  to  be 
excepted  the  b  and  t:  the  various  transformations  of  these 
sounds  have  nothing  to  do  with  the  viaarga  to  which  as

finab  before  a  pause  they  hare  —  donbtlesa  at  a  com- 
paiativeljr  recent  period  of  phonetic  history  —  come  to  be 
reduced.  Words  will  everywhere  in  this  work  be  written 
with  final  B  01  r  instead  of  }/.;  and  the  rules  of  combination 
will  be  stated  as  for  the  two  more  original  sounds,  and  not 
for  the  Tiaarga. 

Oeaspiration. 
IBS.    An   aspirate    mute    is    changed    to  a   non-aspiiate 
before  another  non-naeal  mute  or  before  a  sibilant;  it  stands 
unaltered  only  before  a  vowel  oi  semivowel  or  nasal. 

a.  Sach  ■  cue  e*n  only  arlBS  In  inteinal  eombinatiou,  ainoe  the 
ptoae««ei  of  eiternkl  oombln&tlon  praappote  the  ndacUon  D(  the  uptrate

and  rarer  ooenmnce,  are  hardly  ever  found  In  attnationa  that  eall  for  theli 
applicatioD. 

164.  Hence,  if  such  a  mute  is  to  be  doubled,  it  is 
doubled  by  prefixing  its  own  corresponding  non-aspirate. 

a.  Bnt  Id  the  maaneeripts,  both  Vedlc  and  later,  an  aaptiate  mule 
It  not  teldom  found  written  doHble  —  aipeolally,  if  It  be  one  of  tare  occut- 
rente:  for  example  (RV.),  akhkholl,  jijhjhati 

IBS.  In  a  few  roots,  when  a  final  sonant  aspirate  (a 
|(h,  17  dh,  H  bh;  also^  h,  as  representing  an  original  3  gh] 
thus  loses  its  aspiration,  the  initial  sonant  coosonaat  (IT  g 
or  ^  d  or  ST  b)  becomes  aspirate. 

a.  That  Is  to  lay,  th«  original  initial  aaplrato  of  aueh  mota  ia  reetored, 
when  Ita  preBenee  does  not  iDterfare  with  the  enphoDia  law,  of  compuatlvely 
recant  origin,  whleh  (in  Sanskrit  a*  in  Qreek)  forbidi  a  root  to  both  begin 
and  end  with  an  aspirate. 

b.  The  roots  which  show  this  peculiar  change  are: 
in  gb — daghi 

in  h  (for  original  gb)  —  dab,  dili,  dub,  drub,  dfftb,  ffub ;  and 
aUo  K>^ah  (in  the  later  dealderatlie  jlgb(k^); 

In  db— bandb.  bBdta,  bodb;

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

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.

55  ASSIMILATIOII.  [ — 161 

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  + 
Bi  etc.} ;  qagdlif,  ^agdbTiua  (Vf ale + dU  etc.]  j— in  esternal  combinatioD, 
ibhtkd  ay&m,  JyAg  jiva,  fi4  a^It^alh,  trlqtdb  kpi,  dlg-goja,  qa^- 
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^ 
and  ll^bi  from  mb  and  Uh,  etc.,  SSSb. 

bi  In  thii  eombi nation,  u  the  lonuit  teplradon  li  not  lost  bot  tnnafened, 
the  raftoratlcin  o(  the  lnlti»l  Mplntloir  (165)  does  not  take  place. 

O.  In  dadb  from  ydU  (186  «),  tbo  more  normal  method  is  followed; 
the  db  U  made  «nid,  and  the  Initial  Mptnted:  thai,  dbattbaa,  dhattas.

inttSm  iaatead  ot  inddbsm  &am  yidb. 

161.  Before  a  nasal  in  external  combination,  a  final 
mute  may  be  simply  made  sonant,  ot  it  may  be  still  further 
assimilated,  being  changed  to  the  nasal  of  ita  own  class. 

Thus,  either  tAd  nAmas  or  tAn  nAmaa,  vig  me  or  vafi  me,  bAi}

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- 
binatioo:  thus,  ft^bhis.  Before  a  sonant  (that  ts,  db)  in  coiyagatioD, 
it  appears  to  be  dropped,  at  least  after  long  ft :  thus,  9&dhl,  qag&dU,

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

18a.  Especially,  a  prepOBition  or  similar  prefix  to  »  root,  if  it 
contain  r  or  end  in  euphonic  r  for  s  [174},  very  often  linguatixea  the 
n  of  a  root  oi  of  its  derived  stems  &nd  forms.    Thos: 

a.  The  Initiil  n  of  •  root  li  nsaally  ind  regoluly  m  ftlterod,  In  all 
fonns  und  deriTitiiea,  iftai  park,  pari,  pra,  nlr  (for  nia),  antar,  dor 
(for  doa):  thai,  p4r&  ^aya,  p&ri  ^lyate,  pik  ^udasra;  parB^utti, 
pariijAma,  praQavi,  nii^,  duraiiqa.  Itoota  taBeiiag  this  chsoee  *ce

pottinra  are  nj^  naUl,  uand,  and  naq  when  iti  f  becomes  f  (as  In 
prinafta). 

b.  The  flnal  □  of  a  loot  if  liagaallzed  in  some  of  the  fotmi  of  an 
and  ban:  thus,  pra  '^iti,  piSQi,  pr&  haijyate,  prahi^iaiia. 

0.  The  elaaa-iigne  nn  and  nfi  afe  altered  after  the  rooti  bi  and  ml: 
thai,  pAri  hiiyomi,  pr4  mi^antl  (but  the  latter  not  in  the  Teda). 

d.  The  Ist  sing.  tmpT,  ending  Snl  Is  sometimea  altered:  thos,  pr& 
blWT&Ql. 

e.  DerivatlTeB  by  snlDies  containing  n  Bomedmes  have  q  by  InDaence 
of  a  preposition :  thus,  praj^a. 

f.  The  n  ot  the  prepoaltion  jol  Is  sometimes  altered,  like  the  initial 
of  a  root,  afier  another  preposition:  thna,  pra^ipKta,  pra^idhl. 

168,  In  romponnd  words,  an  alterln|  cause  in  one  member  lomedmei 
llnguallies  a  n  of  the  neit  following  member  —  either  Its  Initial  or  final 
n,  ot  n  In  Its  Inflectional  or  deriiative  ending.  The  eterdte  of  the  altering 
Inflnence  can  be  seen  to  depend  in  part  npon  the  closeness  or  fteqaency 
of  the  compound,  or  its  integration  hy  being  made  the  base  of  a  deriTstlTe. 
Examples  are:  grKaaapf,  tri^&man,  urQ^asA;  vq;tralii^aitl  etc  (bnt

184.  Finally,  in  the  Teda,  a  a  (usually  initial)  is  occMionUly  Ungual- 
ized  even  by  an  altering  sound  la  another  word.  The  tonelesa  pronouns 
naa  and  ana-  are  ofteneat  thus  affected :  tbas,  p&ri  ^aa,  pr&l  '^Sn,  Indra 
ei^m;  but  slto  the  particle  ii4  Ukt:  thus,  viz  9&;  and  a  few  other 
cues,  as  vox  ^ama,  pnnar  i^ayimasi,  agn6r  tive^a.  Hoie  snomalona, 
and  perhaps  to  be  rejscled  as  false  readings,  are  anch  aa  trl^  Imait  and

occur  almOBt  only  in  external  combination,  and  before  ftn  initial  palatal. 
Tbeie  ia  bnt  one  case  of  intenutl  combination,  namely:

b.   A  final  ^n  is  assimilated  before  sT  j,  becoming  3tii. 

0>  All  the  grimmailans,  of  every  period,  require  this  assimilation  of 
n  to  j ;  but  it  Is  more  often  neglected,  or  only  occasionally  made.  In  the

d.  For  n  before  a  snrd  palatal,  see  below,  SOS. 

208.  Befoie  the  palatal  sibilant  ^  9,  both  fT  t  and  R  n 
are  assimilated,  becoming  respectiyely  ?  a  and  3T  fi;  and 
then  the  following  n  9  may  be,  and  in  practice  almost 
always  is,  converted  to  W  ch.

a.  Some  anthorltiea  regard  the  converaion  of  9  to  oh  after  t  or  n  af 
eTerywheis  obligatory,  otbcra  aa  only  optional;  some  except,  peremptorily

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

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. 

211.   Tbe   nasals  &  and  9  before  a  sibilatit  are  allowed  to  in-  ^ 
aert  reepectively  k  and  (  — as  n  [307)  insBrts  t:    thus,   prftty&Ak

71  COUBINATIONS  OF  PlMAl,  m.  [ — 213 

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).

814.  These  oounds  show  in  some  rittDttiona  &  reverBlon  [4S] 
to  the  original  guttunla  from  which  they  are  derived.  The  treat' 
ment  of  J  and  li,  also,  is  different,  according  as  they  repreeeot  the 
one  or  the  other  of  two  different  degrees  of  alteration  from  their 
originals. 

ai6.  The  palatals  and  h  are  the  least  stable  of  alphabetic  soonds, 
undergoing,  In  rirtne  of  their  derivative  character,  alteration  in  many 
oases  where  other  similar  sounds  are  retained. 

916.  Thus,  in  derivation,  even  before  vowels,  semivowels,  and 
nasals,  reversion  to  gattural  form  Is  by  no  means  rare.  The  cases 
are  the  following: 

a.  Before  a  of  snfax  a,  final  O  becomea  k  in  anlci,  Qvafiko,  arki,

b.  In  anothei  aertei  of  derl*atlTes  with  a,  tbe  altered  lonnd  appean: 
eiunplea  aie  i^&,  yj^a.  ijvuA,  qoea,  vfaJA,  vevlji,  ynjat  firj^  d6ba. 

O,  Before  the  snfflieB  aa  and  ana,  the  guttaral  only  rarely  appears: 
namely,  in  iL&kas,  6kna,  r6kaa,  f  Akaa,  bh&rgaB,  and  In  roga^;  also 
in  Sbbog&ra. 

d.  Before  an  i-vowel,  tbe  altered  aonnd  appears  (except  In  ftbhog{, 
Asjyafle,  tiglt&,  moki,  eplilgt):  thus,  4j{,  tnj£,  niol,  q&oi,  vfvloi, 

e.  Before  o,  the  guttnral  reappeaii,  as  a  rale  (the  oasea  are  few) :  thos, 
ftiika,  vafUro,  rekii,  bhfgn,  ntiETgnka,  raghu  (and  r&ghlyaAB). 

f.  Before  n,  tbe  eiimplei  of  lererBion  are  few,  except  of  J  (becoming 
g)  hefore  the  participial  ending  na  (9S7o):  thua,  r^k^aa,  vagnu  (with 
tbe  final  also  made  sonant);  and  participles  bhagn&,  rug^,  etc.;  and 
apparently  pfgl^ft  from  VpfO. 

g.  Before  m  (of  ma,  man,  mant,  xnln),  tbe  guttural  generally 
appears:  thus,  rukm&,  tigmi,  yngma,  fgma  (with  sonant  change);  tak- 
miu,  v&kman,  B&kman,  yngm&n;  rukmant;  rgmin  and  vSgmfn 
(with  sonant  change):  —  bat  AJman,  ojmitn,  bhujm&n. 

h.  Before  y,  tbe  altered  sound  Is  used:  tbns,  paoyo,  y^jya,  yivjyn, 
ynjya,  bhnjyu.  Sncb  cases  as  bhogya,  yogyn,  negya,  okya  are  doubt-

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 
U^T&m,  etc.

to  Btand  where  a  f  cannot  maintain  itself,  to  revert  to  its  original, 
and  be  treated  u  a  a  would  be  treated  under  the  same  circumstances. 
That,  however,  is  true  only  in  a  very  few  Instances. 

a.  Namely,  in  the  piefli  dna  (eTldtntly  Identiul  wltli  ydo^);  in 
aaiia  (adTeiblill;  need  oia-form  from  VJof)!  in  (RV.)  vtvAs  uid  Avlvea,

326.  In  general,  final  Hngual  ^  fi,  in  intemal  combination, 
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. 

b.  Before  dh,  bli,  and  m,  as  also  in  external  combination  (146), 
it  becomes  a  lingual  mnte;  and  dta  is  made  lingual  (by  1S8)  after  it: 
e.  g.  pl^^ijhl.  Tlf^hi.  TiTl^^hl,  dvi^^hvam,  dTi^bhia.  dvitsai 
bhlnnavltka. 

o.  So  also  the  dh  of  dhvam  u  ending  of  2d  pi.  mid.  becomes  ^

Tsrled  to  4  hefoie  It  (the  muiasetlpta  write  simply  ^V,  not  4^t;  but

Uteratuie),  the  precatlre'Sign  ■  (;)  is  to  be  regarded  as  present  In  tha  fonn.' 
Aecordlng,  howoTer,  to  the  Hindu  grammarians,  the  use  of  4b  or  of  dh  la 
the  ig-aot1st  and  precatlTe  depends  on  whether  the  1  of  iQ  or  of  I^i  Is  ot

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

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).

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

anomalous  abbreviations  are  the  common  tpoa  (tri+TOa);  and  dTTOa 
(dvi+poa:  S.),  and  treql  [tri  +  ei>i:  Apast). 

Further,  certain  oases  of  the  loss  of  a  sibilant  require  notice.     Thns:

Is,  howBTer,  probable  that  such  cases  are  to  be  explained  in  a  different

236.  The  so-called  gu;^  and  v^ddlii-ohaDges  aie^the  most 
i^ulai  and  frequent  of  vowel-chaoges,  being  of  constant 
ooounence  both  in  inflection  and  in  derivation. 

a.  A  gu^a-vowel  {gaj^a  secondary  quality]  di£fer^  ftom 
the  cotiesponding  simple  vowel  by  a  prefixed  a-element 
which  is  combined  with  the  other  according  to  the  usual 
niles;  a  vrddhi-vowel  (vrddhi  growth,  increment),  by  the 
further  prefixion  of  a  to  the  guva-vowel.  Thus,  of  ^  I  or 
^  I  the  oonesponding  guijia  is  (a+i^  ^  e;  the  correspond- 
ing vrddhi  is  (a-|-e'=)^  31.  But  in  all  gunating  processes 
9  a  remains  unchanged  —  or,   as  it  is  sometimes   expressed.

gnmmuluu  hare  preferred  to  treat  the  gin^a-fonne  ae  the  original  and

and  bhrta  and  v^ddlia,  by  the  (une  rules  vblch  from  bhd  and  nl  and 
from  badb  and  (dt  form  bbavati  and  nayati,  bodbatl  and  oetati, 
bbuta  and  nlta,  buddha  and  oitta  —  they  assume  bbar  and  vardh  to 
be  the  roots,  and  give  the  ralej  of  formation  for  tbem  in  reverse.  In  this 
work,  as  already  stated  (104  b),  the  f-fonn  is  preferred.

is  In  many  caaea  seen  to  occnr  in  connection  with  an  accent  on  the

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:

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 
and  the  human  aacrificert;  pathor  deTayHnasya  pltfyS^aBya  oa  of 
the  two  paths  leading  retpeetively  to  the  gode  and  to  the  Fathers.

Aaf af(e  fate  (tea  hundred  and  lixty-ont. 

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 
they  style  asnlft^ma;  vidarbharSjatanaj'&di  dam^anti  tl  viddhl

869.  Uses  of  the  aCDuiative.  The  scousatEve  [b  eBpecialty

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 
homaffe;  bhAjro  d&um  arhasl  thou  thouldtt  give  more.  Of  ptedteate 
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 
character  of  preaenC  paitlclples;  thus,  damaTantitO  abhlpBavab  (MBb.) 
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, 
m^  kftmfnT  (AV.)  loving  me;  anam  abMbhft^ifl  (HBh.)  addretting 
him.  Even  ttae  obvianaly  aeconduy  garbbin  lias  In  QB.  the  same  cod- 
ttruction :  tbna,  B&rv&^  bhutinl  garbby  kbbavat  he  became  pregnant

UTtoa  t^B.)  /la  kept  a  term  of  »tudenUhip ;  phaliifa  paoy&nte  (MS.)  thty 
ripen  thair  fruit;  gaih  dtryadlivani  (M3.,  S.)  gamble  for  a  cow. 

9,11.  Tbe  aecusative  i«,  of  course,  freely  used  wiii  other  cases  to  limit 
the  same  Terb,  as  the  sense  reqnltes.  And  wheneveT  it  is  nsable  vitb  a 
verb  in  two  different  const ractions,  the  verb  may  take  two  accasative:,  one 
in  each  constraction:  and  such  combiDatlons  aie  qaite  frequent  in  Sanskrit. 
Tliiu,  with  verbs  of  appealing,  asking,  having  teeonise:  ss,  ap6  yAoftml 
bhe^iO&m  (RV.)  /  a»k  the  ualert  for  medicinsi  tvSm  abam  Batyam

sending,  following,  imparting,  saying;  as,  gurutvaiii  naradi  nayantl  (H.) 
they  bring  a  man  to  re^ectability;  utfi  oS  'nvetu  mfiib  vanam  (R.) 
and  let  Sila  accompany  me  lo  the  forest;  Bupeqasaih  mi  "va  Bfjanty 
Astain  (KV.)  they  let  me  go  home  weU  adorned;  t&m  idam  abravlt  (Mllh.) 
this  he  said  to  Tier ;  —  and  in  olbec  less  c-ommon  cases :  at,  v^rkf&lfa  pakv&lil

^anam  (R.)  uJe  wish  to  tee  our  son  for  the  last  lime. 

a.  A  causative  form  of  a  transitive  verb  Tcgnlarly  admits  tvro  acou- 
lative  objects;  thus,  devaA  nqat&^  pfiy^B  havl^  (RV.)  make  the  eager 
gods  drink  the  oblation ;  o^adhir  eT4  ph&laib  grfthayatl  (HS.)  he  makes 
tht  plants  bear  fruit;  vai^ijo  dSpayet  karfin  (M.)  he  should  cause  the 
merehanlt  to  pay  taxe*.  But  such  a  caoGsttve  sometimes  takes  an  instin- 
mental  instead  of  a  second  aecnsative:  see  282  b. 

878.  Daee  oT  the  Instramental.  The  mstrumenta]  is  orig- 
inally the  ui'fA-case:  it  denoteB  &dja(«ncy,  accompaDiment,  aisociation 
—  passing  over  into  the  expreasion  of  meaofl  and  iDBtrnment  by  the 
same  transfer  of  meaning  which  appears  in  the  English  prepositions 
leith  and  by. 

a.  Nearly  all  the  uaea  of  the  ca«e  are  teadily  dedncible  from  this 
fundamental  meaning,  and  show  nothing  anomaloai  or  difflonlt. 

S70.  The  instrumental  is  often  nsed  to  signify  accompaniment :  thus, 
agnir  derebhir  a  gamat  (RV.)  may  Agni  eome  hither  along  toith  the 
gods;  marndbhi  rudr&ih  bnvema  (RT.)  we  mould  call  Rudra  with  the 
Maruls;  dTftparena  Baht^ena  kva  j&ayasi  (UBh.)  whither  wilt  thou 
go,  with  Dvapara  for  eampaniont  kathayan  nSi^adheita  (MBh.)  talking 
viiA  the  Nishadhan.  Bnt  the  relation  of  simple  accompaniment  is  more 
often  helped  to  plainer  expression  by  prepositions  (eaha  etc.:  284).

prakopSya  na  q&ataye  (H.)  good  counsel  [tends]  to  the  exasperation, 
not  the  conciliation,  of  fools;  sa  oatasy&h  aaibtOffiya  nfi 'bhavat  (H.)

iometbiog  relating  to  the  latter  in  a  manner  which  the  nataie  of  the

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-

the  aspect  of  being  a  sobstitnte  for  other  cases  —  as  dative,  instru- 
mental, ablative,  locative.

'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.

daqaina  pade  [MBh.')  at  the  tenth  aiep. 

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

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 
only  by  its  accent

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,

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-

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^ 
bfha.t&a. 

e.  9t!ina  o(  which  the  accented  flnal  loaei  Ita  Erllabic  chua~ter  bf 
tyiicopationorth?Tonel:  thue,  malJ&it,  mQrdlmi,  d&mn&a  (from  nuJJ&n 
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.

CHAPTER   V. 


NOUNS  AND  ADJECTIVES. 
321.    &.    Tm£    aooordance    ia    iaflMtion    of  substantire 
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),

a>  Tbli  clut  U  eBientfally  only  a  special  cUbb  of  componnd  adjecttvas, 
since  In  the  earlleit  Veda  tbe  timple  as  well  ae  the  aompoonded  root  wu 
gometiiiies  uBed  adJecHvely.  But  the  oompeuDded  root  vm  from  the  begiDnlng 
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. 

a,  la  a  few  cues,  t,Uo,  tbe  flnal  nenn  is  syDtaeHosIly  ot^ect  of  the 
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). 

Oecleniion  I. 
stems  (maBculine  and  neuter)  in  q  s, 
826.    a.  This  declension  contains  the  majority  of  all  the 
declined  stems  of  the  language. 

b.  Its  endings  deviate  moie  widely  than  any  others 
from  the  normal. 

887.  Endings:  Slngntar.  a.  The  nom.  msac.  baa  the  normal 
ending  a. 

b.  The  aco.  (masc.  and  neut.)  adds  m  (not  am);  and  this  form  bae 
the  office  also  of  nom.  neuter. 

o.  The  Instr.  change*  a  to  ena  nniformly  in  the  later  Ungual  ^  and 
eTBQ  In  the  oldest  Tedic  this  ia  the  predominant  endiug  (in  RV.,  eight 
niutba  of  all  casea).  Its  flnal  la  in  Vedlc  leree  frequently  made  long  (anft). 
But  the  normal  ending  ft  — thus,  ;ajfL£,  DUbivft,  mahitvit  (foiy^JlLAna 
etr.)  —  is  alao  not  rue  in  the  Veda. 

d.  The  dat.  has  Bya  (ae  if  by  adding  ays  to  a),  alike  in  ail  age» 
of  the  language. 

e.  The  abl.  has  t  (or  doubtless  d:  It  is  Imposaible  from  tbe  evi- 
dence of   tbe  Sanakrit  to   tell  oblch   It  the   original   form  of  the  ending),

3S3.  There  »e  no  verbal  roots  ending  in  a.  Bat  a  ie  sometimes 
BubstitDted  for  the  Goal  K  of  a  root  (and,  rarely,  for  final  an),  and  it 
ie  then  inflected  like  an  ordinary  adjective  in  a  (aee  below,  354). 

334.  a.  A  noun  ending  In  a,  when  occurring  as  final  member  of 
an  adjective  compound,  is  Inflected  like  an  original  adjective  in  a, 
making  its  feminine  likewise  in  S  or  I  (367). 

b.  For  the  moat  part,  an  adjectlTe  compouad  having  a  noon  In  a  as 
fln&l  member  makea  ita  feminine  In  I.  Bnt  theie  at«  numeiom  exeeptlon;, 
oeitain  nanot  tatiog,  ueually  ot  alwayt,  i  instead.  Some  of  the  commonest 
of  tbeae  are  sa  (oUowi:  ak^  eye  (e.  g.  loblt&kql,  dvyakfl,  gairftk^i), 
panja  leaf  (e.  g.  tilapai^l,  aaptapan^l;  but  ekapar^),  mukha  face 
(e.  g.  kr;namaklu,  durmukhii  but  trimukh&  etc.),  afiga  limb,  body 
(e.  g.  anavadyUigi,  BarvKfigi;  bat  oaturaAgB  etc.),  kega  hair  (^e.  g. 
Btikefl,  muktake^I  or  .qS,  etc.),  karna  ear  (e,  g.  mah3kan;^i;  but 
gokar^ft  etr.),  ndara  btUy  (e.  g.  lambodarl),  mula  root  (e.  g.  pafi- 
oamoli;  but  oftener  qat&mulft  etc.).  The  very  great  majaiity  ot  lOch 
nouni  (as  the  examples  indicate)  signify  parts  of  the  body. 

(^  On  the  other  lutud,  a  feminine  noun  ending  in  derivative  & 
sbortens  its  final  to  a  to  form  a  masculine  and  neuter  base:  aee  367  o. 

d.  In  frequent  caaep,  nouna  of  conaooant  ending  are,  la  Snala  of  com- 
pounda,  transferred  to  the  a-declenaion  by  an  added  sufSx  a  (1206  a)  or

Declension  II. 

stems  (of  all  genders]  in  ^  i  and  7  u. 

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 
numerous  than  those  in  7  u,  especially  in  the  feminine 
[there  aie  more  neuters  in  3  u  than  in  ^  ij. 

a.  The  endings  of  this  declension  also  difi'er  frequently  and 
widely  from  the  normal,  and  the  irregularitiea  in  the  older  language 
are  nnmeroua.

e.  The  Inttr.  fem.  Id  the  Utet  Iingnage  takes  the  nonnal  ending  & 
■imp];,  while  the  maac.  and  neat  Insert  n  before  <t,  making  infi  and  vtai. 
But  In  the  Teda,  forms  in  yK  and  vK  (ot  IS  and  nS.)  are  not  ioft^qnent 
In  mate,  and  neat,  also;  while  Inft  Is  fonad,  veiy  nrely,  m  a  fem.  ending, 
HoHOVer,  fem.  7B  is  often  (In  two  thirds  of  the  ocenrrenoes)  oontraeted  to 
\;  and  this  is  sTen  sometlmeB  shortened  to  i.  An  adverbial  Initr.  In  uyt 
from  halr-a-doien  stems  In  n  occnrs. 

d.  The  dst.  mase.  and  fem,  gnnitei  the  final  of  the  stem  before  the 
ending  e,  making  e^e  ancl  Kve.  The«e  are  the  prevailing  endings  In  the 
T«da  likewise;  bat  the  more  normal  ja  and  ve  (or  ne)  also  occur',  and 
the  fem.  has  Id  this  ease,  ai  in  the  instr.,  sometimes  the  form  I  for  le. 
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 
liter,  the  ending  a  with  guuated  vowel  before  it;  thns,  ee,  oa;  and  In  the 
Teda,  the  neut  fDini)  the  cases  in  the  same  way;  although  unaa,  required 
later,  is  also  not  infrequent  (iaaa  does  not  oeeor).  But  the  normal  forms 
yaa  (or  iaa)  and  vaa  (or  tum]  ue  also  freqnent  In  both  maso.  and  neuter. 
As  masc.  ending,  XUUM  ocours  twice  in  RV.  Tha  anomalons  dldy&t  (so  TS, ; 
In  the  corresponding  passages,  vidfAt  VS.,  didyftut  K.,  didiv&a  HS.) 
Is  of  doabtfnl  cbarscter. 

t.  The  toe  maic.  and  fem.  has  for  legnlar  ending  In  the  later  lan- 
guage &11,  replacing  both  finals,  i  and  a.  And  this  is  In  the  Veda  also  the 
most  freqnent  ending;  but,  beside  It,  the  1-stems  foim  (abont  halt  la  often 
in  BV.)  their  loc.  In  &:  thus,  agaft;  and  thli  Is  fonnd  once  even  in  the 
neuter.  The  RV.  has  a  number  of  examples  of  masc.  and  neat.  locatlTes 
in  avl  (the  normal  ending  and  the  a  gnnated  before  it)  from  u-stems; 
and  certain  doubtful  traces  e(  a  corresponding  (^  from  i-stems.  Halr-a- 
doien  locatives  in  I  [regarded  by  the  Vedic  grammsjians  u  piagrli;a  or 
nncomblnable:  188  d)  are  made  bom  i-atems.  The  later  language  makes 
the  neuter  locatives  in  ini  and  xad;  but  the  former  never  occurs  In  the 
oldest  texts,  and  the  litter  only  very  rarely. 

g.  The  later  grammar  allows  the  dat.,  abl.-gen.,  and  loc  fem.  to  be 
formed  at  will  with  the  fuller  fem.  terminations  of  long-vowel  stems,  namely 
01,  fta  (for  which,  in  BAhma^a  etc,,  Si  Is  snbstilnted;  S07h),  &m.  Snoh 
forms  are  quite  rare  In  the  oldest  language  even  from  l-items  (less  than

stems  in  long  voveU:  )9T  S,  ^  I|  3i  &• 

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.

340.  HonoBylUbic  atema.  Before  the  endiDga  beginDlog  with 
Toirela,  fioal  I  Is  ohuiged  to  ly  and  Q  to  uv;  while  final  S  ia  dropped 
altogether,  except  in  the  strong  oases,  and  in  the  aoo.  pi.,  which  is 
like  the  nominative  (according  to  the  giAmmarlanB,  ft  Is  lost  here  also: 
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). 
The  vocative  is  like  the  nominative  in  the  singular  a«  well  as  the 
other  nnmbers;  but  iDstaaceB  of  ita  oocnrrence  In  nncomponnded  iteits 
are  not  found  in  the  Veds,  sod  must  be  extremely  rare  everywhere. 
The  earlier  Vedio  dnal  ending  is  s  instead  of  &u. 

3B0.  To  the  i-  and  fl-stems  the  rules  for  monosyllabic  accent 
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. 

SBl.  EzampleB  of  deolension.  As  models  of  mon- 
osyllabic inflection  we  may  take  sIT  ji  f.  progeny;  ^  dhi  f.

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

(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 :

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

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 
in  the  Tedaa  u  later.

eoDtnctlon  of  an  eullei  ending  In  yK.  Theli  InlleettoD  hu  become  In  the 
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  •

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.

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

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:

Declantion  V. 

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

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. 

b.  There  remain,  then,  to  constitute  division  A,  espe- 
cially radical  stems,   or  those  identical  in  form  with  roots,

o.  With  Ibeae  may  ba  raolced  the  stems  with  reduplicated  root,  as 
oildt,  yaviyddb,  v&nivan,  saay&d. 

d.  Words  of  this  division  la  Qncompounded  atg  are  toisrtbly  beqneut 
In  the  older  laDgaage:  tbos,  in  BV.  ue  found  more  than  ahnndred  of  them; 
in  AT.,  alioat  ality;  bnt  In  the  cluslcat  Ssnakrlt  tbe  power  of  nslng  any 
root  at  will  In  this  way  is  loit,  and  the  examples  are  comparatively  Taw. 
In  all  peilodj,  bo'wever,  the  adjective  tue  as  floal  of  ■  compound  is  very 
commoD  (tee  below,  401]. 

e.  As  to  the  InflnitiTe  nse  of  varions  cases  of  the  root-nonn,  see  9TI. 
U.  f.  Stems  made  by  tbe  addition  of  t  to  a  final  sbort  vowel  of 

a  toot 

K.  No  proper  root-stem  ends  in  a  short  vowel,  slthongh  there  are  (364) 
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, 
and  aaihhit).

384.  0  en  dec.  The  root-stems  are  legnlarly  feminine  as  nomen 
aelionu,  and  maBcnUne  as  nomen  agmtit  (which  ia  probably  only  a 
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 
harmer,  hater,  enemy  —  tbaa  bordering  on  the  mascnilne  value.  And 
some  of  the  feminines  have  a  completely  concrete  meaning.  Throngh 
the  whole  division,  the  maacnlines  are  mnch  leas  nnmerona  than  the 
feminines,  and  the  neotere  rarest  of  all. 

a.  The  independent  neater  stems  are  hfd  (alao  -hard),  dim,  var, 
B7ar,  mts  fiuh,  ta  mouth,  bhiia,  doa  (with  which  may  le  meiitioned 
the  indecllnablea  g&m  and  76b);  also  the  apparent  derlvatiTea  y&fert, 
Q&krt,  k&prth,  &8|j. 

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,

only  the  weakest  cases,  while  the  strong  aie  made  from  p&utbs  or

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

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. 

a.  Thna,  b^  heart,  m^Aa  or  mas  n.  meat,  mas  m.  mtmlh,  n&s

lespectiTBlr  from  hfdaya,  milfia&,  mitsa,  naslks,  nlqS,  pftanfi.  But 
the  usage  in  the  older  langnage  U  not  entirely  in  accordance  with  thla

398.  On  the  other  hand,  certain  stems  of  this  division,  allowed 
by  the  grammarians  a  fnli  inflectioD,  are  used  to  fill  up  the  defioien-

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

4t7.  a.  A  few  neuter  nonnB  io  ae  witb  aoceot  on  the  udioal 
Billable  have  corresponding  adjectiveii  or  appellatives  In  &a,  with 
accent  on  the  eadiog:  thus,  for  example, -&paa  uorA,  ap&s  active; 
t&raa  quichntu,  tar&B  quick;  jiqaa  glory,  yK9&a  giorimu.  A  few 
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. 
and  accus.  are  as  follows: 

Slogulu.  Doil.  Pland. 

rn-Ln.  m-f.  ii.m,t  n. 

N.    Butn&nSa 


^^^  >  Bom&naBSu      -naal    anm&naaas      -nftAsl 

and  the  other  cases  (save  the  vocative]  are  alike  is  all  genders.

a  tew  of  more  questionable  etymology  which  are  inflected 

like   them.     They   are    almost   exclusively    masculine   and 


421,   The  stem  has  a  triple  form.    In  the  strong  oases

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.

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

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).

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,

<L  In  a  few  (eight  oi  ten)  moie  oi  leas  doabtftil  caiei,  a  contoiion 
of  strong  and  veak  fonna  of  stem  is  made;  they  tie  too  purely  iporadto  to

4ftS.  The  stem  irvant  nmninjr,  tUtd,  has  the  Dom.  eing.  arvA, 
from  irvaax;  Mid  in  the  older  tanguage  also  the  voo.  arvan  and  acoue. 

466.  Besides  the  participle  bhAvont,  there  Is  another  stem  bli&- 
vftnt,  frequently  ased  in  lespeetfnl  address  as  subsljtnte  for  the 
prononn  of  tlie  second  person  (but  construed,  of  oonrse,  with  a  verb 
in  the  third  person),  vhloh  is  formed  vith  the  suffix  vant,  and  so 
declined,  having  In  the  nom.  sing,  bh&vtn;  and  the  contracted  form

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 
cases,  the  suffix  is  contracted  into  3IT  uf.  In  the  middle

in  the  strong  cases,  and  a  weakei,  in  m  yas  [or  ^ITH  lyae), 
in  the  weak  oases  (there  being  no  distinction  of  middle  and 
weakest).  The  voo.  sing.  masc.  ends  in  TR  yan  (but  for

superlative.  The  root  before  them  is  accented,  and  usually 
strengthened  by  gunating,  if  capable  of  it  —  oi,  in  some 
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

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

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-

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

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,  &para  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.

forming  the  odd  numbera  above  lUO  is  to  qnalify  the  lar^r  nniober 
by  an  adjective  derived  from  tbe  smaller,  and  identical  with  the

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-

4Sa.  Inflection.  The  inflection  of  the  cardinal  numeTals 
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.

{loc.  ilng.),  6k(lt  C477  b). 

a.  In  the  Ute  literatnrp,  eka  is  nsed  in  the  sense  of  a  certain 
or  even  Bometimes  almoat  of  a,  as  an  indefinite  article.  Thus,  eko 
vyBghra^  (H.)  a  certain  tiger;  ekaamln  dine  on  a  certain  day;  haste 
doq^am  ekajn  idftya  'H.)  taking  a  itick  in  hit  hand.

e.  Trl  three  is  in  mnsc.  and  nent.  nearly  regular,  like  an  ordinary 
stem  in  t;  but  the  genilJve  is  as  if  from  tr^&  (only  in  the  later 
language:  Ihe  regular  ti^&n  occurs  once  in  RV.).  For  the  feminine 
it  has  the  peculiar  stem  tis^,  which  ie  Inflected  In  general  like  an 
f-etem;  bat  the  nom.  and  accns.  are  alike,  and  show  no  strength eniog

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

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

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

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

are  put  in  the  plural,  as  if  used  more  adjectivelyi  thus,  pafic&^od- 
bhir  b&QiU^  uiith  Jifty  arrows. 

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;

487—]  VI.  NUMBRALB.  184 

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 
likewise  ekaviA^^  2iit;  oatiutriAg4  34th;  a)f\lMKtvirUii}k  4Sth; 
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. 

k.  Of  tbe  ordinals,  pratbami  (snd  Ura),  dvltiyat  tptiya,  and 
turiya  (with  t^rya)  form   their  feminine  in  i;  alt  the  rest  make  it 

488<  Tbe  aidlntls,  u  in  other  langnagea,  have  other  than  erdlnsl

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.

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

tt  ht  t&a,  dn.;  often  tA  lor  titni,  pi.  nent.;  ntnally  Ubhis  for  tsfs,

mltl)i  and  OhU.  has  once  BBBm&t. 

466>  Tbe  peculiarities  of  the  general  pronominal  deolenaion,  it 
wilt  be  noticed,  are  tliese ; 

A.  In  the  singalar,  the  use  of  t  (properly  d)  aa  ending  of  nom.-ace. 
neutj  the  combination  of  anether  element  ama  with  tbe  root  In  maac.  and 
neat,  dat.,  abl.,  and  loc,  snd  of  By  In  fern,  dal,  abl.-gen.,  and  loo.j  and 
tbe  mass,  and  neat.  loc.  ending  In,  vhlch  is  rastiicted  to  thla  declension 
(eiecpt  in  the  anomilouB  y&dtfmin,  RV.,  once).  The  inbatilution  in  B. 
of  U  for  fis  as  fern,  ending  (307h)  was  illuatiated  at  SSSd. 

b.  The  dual  Is  piecisely  that  of  noun-atema  in  a  and  S. 

o.  Ill  the  ploral,  the  irregnlsritieg  are  limited  to  tb  tar  tits  in  uom. 
masc,  and  the  iDsertioa  of  s  instead  of  n  before  Km  of  the  gen.,  the  stem- 
final  being  treated  hefore  it  In  the  same  manner  as  before  an  of  the  loc. 

497.  The  Htem  of  this  pronoun  is  by  the  grammariaQS  given 
na  tad;  and  from  that  form  come,  in  fact,  the  derivative  adjective 
tadiya,  with  tattvfr,  tadvat,  tanmaya;  nnd  numerous  conipoandfl, 
such  as  taoobtla,  tajjfia,  tatkara,  tadonantara,  tanm&tra,  etc. 
These  compounds  are  not  rare  even  in  the  Veda:  bo  t&danna,  tadWd. 
tadvai;&,  etc.  But  derivativen  from  the  true  root  ta  are  also  many: 
Hspecially  adverbs,  as  t&taa,  t&tra,  t&thft,  tad^;  tbe  atyeotiveB  tJE- 
vant  and  t4tl;  and  the  compound  tsdf^  etc. 

498.  Though  the  demonstrative  root  ta  ia  prevailingly  of  the 
third  person,  it  is  also  tVeelj  need,  both  in  the  earlier  language  and 
in  the  later,  as  qualifying  the  pronouns  of  the  6rst  and  seoond  person, 
giving  emphasis  to  them:  tbna,  ad  'b&m,  thit  I,  or  I  h«re;  bA  or  aa 
tv&m.  thou  there;  te  vayam,  tee  A«r«;  taayamama  o/me  Aere,  taamlfia 
tvayi  tn  thte  there,  and  so  on. 

490.  Two  other  demonstrative  stems  appear  to  contain  ta  aa 
an  clement;  and  both,  like  the  simple  ta,  subBtitute  aa  in  the  nom. 
sing.  masc.  and  fem.

m.  The  one,  tya,  is  tolerably  common  (although  only  a  third

c.  The  stem  tya  haa  ni'Uher  couiponnda  oor  derivativea.  But

from  the  so-called  stem  etad;  and  et&d^  and  eUEvuit  from  eta. 
And  ofm,  like  aa  (408),  is  used  to  qualify  pronouns  of  the  lat  aud 
2d  persons:  e.  g.  e^K  "ham,  ete  vayam. 

600,  There  is  a  defective  pronominal  atem,  eoa,  which  is  accent- 
tess,  and  hence  used  only  in  eituationa  where  do  emphasis  falls  upon 
it  It  does  not  occur  elsewhere  than  in  the  accusative  of  all  numbers, 
the  Instr.  sing.,  and  the  gen--loc.  dual:  thna.

602.  a.  The  fotmei  of  these  two  pionoDoa,  ay&m  etc.,  plainly  9how« 
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, 
as  In  the  paradigm,  oi  accentiess  (like  ena  and  the  second  forms  from 
ah&m  and  tv&m).  The  remaining  forms  are  always  accented.  From  nn& 
come,  with  entire  regularity,  an^na.  au&yS,  an&yoB.^  The  ationg  oases 
In  daat  and  plnral,  and  in  part  in  singular,  come  not  leas  tegnlarly  from  ■ 
stem  imit.  And  ay&va,  ly&m,  Id&m  are  evidently  to  be  referred  to  ■ 
simple  root  1  (iiUm  being  apparently  a  double  form:  id,  like  tad  etc., 
with  ending  am). 

b.  The  Teda  ha*  frem  the  root  a  also  the  instrumentals  ena  and  aylt

im^Bya  ocsars  once  In  RV.,  Imasm&l  in  AA.,  and  imSla  and  ime^u 
later.  The  RT.  has  In  a  email  number  of  instances  the  Irtegnlar  aocen- 
toation  iamal,  Aeya,  abtiis. 

0.  In  analogy  with  the  other  pronooaa,  Id&m  la  by  the  gram- 
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. 

603.  Tbe  other  pronoun,  aafi4  etc.,  hts  amu  for  itj  leading  stem, 
which  In  the  singular  takes  In  combination,  like  the  a-stema,  the  element 
ama  (f.  ay),  and  which  shifCe  to  ami  In  part  of  the  maso.  and  neat, 
plnial.  In  part,  too,  like  an  adjactivs  n-stem.  It  lengthens  its  final  in  the 
feminine.  The  gen.  stng.  amu^ya  is  the  only  example  In  the  Unguage 
of  tbe  ending  aya  added  to  any  other  than  an  a-stem.  The  nom.  pi.  ami 
is  unique  la  form;  its  i  is  (like  (hat  of  a  dual)  pragfhya,  or  exempt 
from  conblaatlon  with  a  foUowlug  vowel  (188  b).  Aeftu  and  adAa  are 
also  without  analogies  aa  regards  their  endings. 

a.  The  grammarians,  as  usual,  treat  ad&a.  as  representative  stem 
of  tbe  declenaiOD,  and  it  ie  found  in  this  character  in  an  extremely 
small  number  of  worda,  as  adomnla;  adom&ya  is  of  Brahmana  age. 
The  QB.  bas  also  aaftunaman.     But  moat  of  the  derivativea,   as  of

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

not  Infrequently  later,  is  found  as  first  member  of  compouTtde.  Then,

BM.  VarlouB  forms  of  this  pronoun,  u  kad,  kirn,  and  ka  land

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

BO  puiely  a  preBent-system  that  it  will  be  desoiibfld  in  the 
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.

son  and  nnmbet  here  folloirs. 

643.  Singular;  First  peiaon.  a.  The  prim&ry  ending  in 
the  active  is  ml  The  Bubjanctive,  liowever  (later  imperative),  liaB 
ni  instead;  and  in  tiie  oldest  Veda  this  ni  is  Bometimes  wanting, 
and  the  person  ends  in  K  (as  if  the  ni  of  ftni  were  dropped}.  Tbo 
secondary  ending  is  properly  m;  but  to  this  m  an  a  has  come  to 
be  so  peraisteutly  prefixed,  appearing  regnlaily  where  the  teDse-stem 
does  not  itself  end  in  a  [Tam  for  Tarm  or  vanun  in  RV.,  once,  and 
abhiim  HS.,  avadlilm  T3.  etc.,  sanem  TB.,  are  tare  anomaliesX  that 
it  is  convenient  to  reckon  am  as  ending,  rather  than  m.  Bnt  the  per- 
fect tense  lias  neither  ml  nor  m;  its  ending  is  simply  a  (sometimes 
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 


646—]  Vm.  COKJBOATION.  206 

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.). 

o.  Tbe  Rig-V«(U  hu  a  very  few  forms  In  jUthe  uti  Sit«,  appuently 
from  athe  and  ete  with  iDbjanctive  atrangtheDiDg  (ttey  are  all  detailed 
below:  Bee  616,  701,  737,  762,  880,  1008.  1043). 

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

(imperative;.

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).

ing in  relation  with  the  accent  —  the  stem  being  of  stronger  form

a  before  the  endings  of  the  first  person  (73S 1)  —  but  with  the  follow- 
ing peculiarities  as  to  ending  etc.:

d.  In  2d  and  3d  sing.,  the  endings  are  either  primary  or  aecoDdaiy: 
thns,  dohaal  or  d6ItaB,  d6hati  or  d61kat;  bh&TOsl  or  bh&T&a,  bh&T&tl

Ings  are  very  rare,  being  found  only  iu  the  3d  pt.  (where  they  are  more

a.  The  striking  peculiarity  of  sabJunctiTe  middle  iDHectlon  is  the  i^

Optative  Mode. 

664,  a.  As  baa  been  already  pointed  out,  tbe  optative  is  of  com- 
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 
langnage. 

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

tUB  yR  is  ftppendBd  to  the  weaker  form  of  the  tenao-item,  and  taket 
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). 

O.  It  Is,  o[  eoane,  ImpoMlble  to  tell  from  the  form  whethei  i  or  i  1*

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

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

0.  There  is,  in  &ct,  notliing  In  the  earliest  employment  of  tbeee 
model  to  prove  that  they  might  not  all  be  specialized  luea  of  forms 
originally  equivalent  —  having,  for  instance,  a  general  future  moaoiog. 

&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

somewhere;  katbaih  vfiso  -rikarteyaifa  na  oa  budhyeta  me  prly& 
how  eon  I  cut  off  the  garment  and  my  beloved  not  wakef 

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 
mt  with  an  aagmentlees  past  form,  prevailingly  aorist 

R.  Thus,  pr&  pata  mi  tik  raifaatlift^  (AV.)  Jty  away,  do  not  stay

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.

in  the  epics  and  later  the  eonatmction  begtni  to  appaar,  and  becomee  an 
ordinary  torm  of  prohibition:  thai,  mfi  prayaoohe  "9vare  dhanam  (H.)

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-—

stem;  the  plnperfect  (in  the  Veda  only),  from  the  perfect-stem;  the 
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. 

a.  In  RV.,  the  tngmentleis  forms  are  more  th*n  hUt  m  common  u

Tbelt  non-modal  and  modtl  use*  ue  of  nearl)'  eqtul  freqaenoy.  The  tense 
valae  of  the  non-modally  uasd  foims  is  mora  often  psst  than  present.  Of 
the  modall;  used  foima,  nearly  a  third  are  constrned  with  mt  piohibltlTe; 
the  reit  have  tvloe  at  often  an  optative  as  a  proper  inhjunctlTa  value. 

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 
14(iO),  and  are  pieialllDgly  (more  than  four  flfUks)  aoristlc.  The  non-modal 
uses  aie  only  a  tenth  of  the  modal.  Of  the  modaily  oied  forms,  about 
foor  fifths  ate  construed  with  mS  ptohiblHTe;  the  test  are  cbieD;  optative 
tn  Tslne,  Then,  la  the  langaage  of  the  Biihmanas  (not  Inclndlng  the 
mantea-miteiial  which  they  contain),  tbe  loaa  of  augment  la,  save  in 
oceaslonal  sporadic  cases,  restricted  to  the  prohfbitiTe  eonitrUBtion  irith  mfi; 
and  the  same  continues  to  be  the  case  later. 

o.  The  acoentnatlon  of  the  angmsntless  forms  is  thioDghont  in  accord- 
ance with  that  of  unaDgmented  tenses  of  similar  formation.  Examples  will 
be  given  below,  under  the  Taiions  tenses. 

d.  Besides  the  angmentless  sorlat-forms  with  ma  prahibttive,  there 
are  also  found  occistonally  in  the  later  language  augmeutless  imperfeet-forms 
(totj  rarely  sorist-forms),  whieh  have  tbe  same  Talna  as  if  they  were  aug- 
mented, and  are  for  the  most  part  examples  of  metrical  license.  They  ue

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 
case  (above,  314  c),  the  beglaniug  of  a  pftda  counts  a*  that  of  a  lentencs, 
whatever  be  the  logical  connection  of  the  pSda  with  what  precedes  It. 

b.  Eiamplea  of  the  nnaccented  verb  ars:  agnlm  I^  pur6hitam 
Agni  I  praise,  the  houte-prittt;  sa  id  dev^n  gaochati  that,  Hubf,  goet 
to  the  godt;  Ague  aupayaa6  bhava  O  Agni,  be  easy  of  aeeett;  Idiim 
indra  ff^tilil  somapa  thU,  O  Indra,  loma-drmker,  hear;  o&maa  te 
rodra  kp^ma^  homage  to  thee,  Rudra,  tee  offer;  y^amftnasya  paqlhi 
pUii  the  taerifieer'i  eattU  proteei  thou. 

o.  Hence,  there  are  two  principal  situations  in  which  the  verb 
retains  its  accent:

b.  It  more  than  one  verb  follow  a  word  or  words  sjnttetlcally  con- 
nected with  them  all,  only  the  Arat  ioaea  its  accent,  the  others  being  treated 
as  if  they  were  Initial  verba  In  separata  clauses,  with  the  same  adjuncts 
understood:  thus,  tor&qir  IJ  Jayatl  k^dtl  pu^yatl  aucceiaful he  eonquera,

etyoy,  ye  mighty  onti,  take  pleaaure. 

C.  In  like  manner  (but  much  less  often),  an  sdjnnct,  as  subject  or  object, 
standing  between  two  verbs  snd  logically  belonging  to  both,  la  teokoned  to  the 
tint  alone,  and  the  second  has  the  Inllisl  accent :  thus,  Jahl  praj&il  D&yaava

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.

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.

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

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.

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 
(ynaq  attain),  ak^i,  m&tsl,  mftsi  (y'mfi  measure),  y&k;l,  y&disl,  ySSi,

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. 

a.  Many  roots  of  this  class,  as  of  the  other  classes  of  the  first 
conjugation,  show  transfers  to  tbe  second  or  a-conjngation,  forming 
a  conjugation-stem  by  adding  a  to  their  strong  or  weak   stem,  or

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. 

a.  Root*  found  to  exbibit  thie  pecQlUrlt;  in  •ctaal  nae  uc  kq^U,  yn

na,  ra,  and  hnn.    RV,  hu  ones  Btoql  and  anSvan.    Comp&re  alio  638. 

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.

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.).

The  MS,  has  adntaa  3d  sing,  and  adutara  3d  pi.  impf,  mid.,  apparently 
farmed  to  correapond  to  the  pree.  dntae  (613)  and  dnhre  as  adugdtaa  and

II.  Reduplleating  Class  (third,  ha-elaM). 

642.  This  class  forms  its  pieseat-Btem  by  prefixing  a 
reduplicatioa  to  the  root. 

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 
VH  bby;  ftq^  pipTo  from  jTR  pto, 

O.  For  verbi  In  which  a  and  ft  also  are  inegnlaily  repreaantad  In  the 
rednplicatlon  b;  1,  lee  below,  660,  The  root  vpt  (V.  B.)  make*  vavarttt 
Btc;  oakr&nt  (RV.)  is  Tory  donblful. 

d.  The  only  root  of  this  class  with  initial  vowel  is  j  (or  ar); 
)t  takes  as  redaplicatloD  1,  which  ii  held  apart  irom  the  root  by  aa 
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). 

a,  Appaisntly  (tlhe  ouea  iritb  written  ucent  tie  too  few  to  detarmlne 
the  point  Mtlifactoiil;)  the  middle  optttiTO  endinga,  tya  ato.  (B66),  ire 
iMkoned  thiODghoat  u  endings  with  Inttltl  vowel,  ind  throw  back  the 
■cc«nt  npon  the  lednplleition. 

646.  The  veibs  of  this  olass  lose  the  ^n  in  the  3d 
pi.  endings  in  active  aa  well  as  middle,  and  in  the  imper- 
fect have  3H  OS  instead  of  ^Pf  an  —  and  before  this  a  final 
radical  vowel  has  gOQa.

Here  will  be  noticed  only  those  which  most  cleuty  belong  to  this  clsi'^i; 
the  mora  donbtfnl  rases  will  be  treated  nndei  the  perfact-iystem.  Except

present-systsm  ate  of  far  from  frequent  occairence. 

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 
mode-sign,  final  radical  &  would  be,  In  accordance  with  analogies 
elsewhere,  dropped :  thus,  d&da  trom  Vda,  d&dba  f^m  i^dht  (all  the 
forma  aotnallf  occurring  would  be  derivable  from  the  aeoondary  roots 
dad  and  dadbj. 

eso.  Inatead  of  giving  a  theoretically  complete  scheme  of 
InflectiOD,  it  will  be  better  to  note  all  the  esamplea  quotable  from 
the  older  language  (accented  when  fonnd  bo  occurring].

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. 

7S0.  The  root  grabb  or  grata  (the  former  Vedlcj  is  weakened 
to  grbta  or  sr^.

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,

Seetnd  or  ft-CtnjugatiAn. 

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

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:

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.).

788.  One  or  two  indiTidnal  cases  of  irregalarity  »re  the  followingi 

a.  The  extremely  common  root  bliu  be  has  the  anomalODS  redn-

in  like  manner  eaaQ.

irregntar  lednplicatlon  (aa  In  the  preaent,  990). 

780.  Absence  of  reduplication  is  met  with  in  some  oases.    Thus: 

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. 

b.  A  few  other  appnentl;  perfect  forms  lacking  a  tedapUealion  ate

792.  Stioug  and  weak  stem-foTtna.  In  the  three 
peisons  of  the  singulai  active,  the  lootrsyllable  is  accented, 
and  exhibits  usuallj  a  stronger  form  than  in  the  rest  of  the 
tense-inflection.  The  diffeienoe  is  effected  paitly  by  strength- 
ening the  toot  in  the  thiee  peiaons  leferted  to,  paitly  by 
weakening  it  in  the  others,  paitly  by  doing  both. 

793.  As  regards  the  strengthening: 

a.  A  final  vowel  takes  either  the  gn^s  oi  vrddM  change 
in  Ist  sing,  act.,  gu^a  in  2d,  and  vrddhi  in  3d:  thus,  fiom

fsp^  bibbRi;  from  v^  ky,  Ut  tJc^,^  oak&r  or  *l*l^  oakfir, 
2d  Tjtfi^'  oak&r,  3d  -f\4\\\  oakSr. 

b.  But  the  u  of  fbha  remains  uDchaaged,  and  adda  v  before  a 
vowel- an  ding:  thas,  babhttva  etc. 

o.  Medial  ^  a  before  a  single  final  consonant  follows 
the  analogy  of  a  final  vowel,  and  is  lengthened  or  viiddhied 
in  the  3d  sing.,  and  optionally  in  the  first:  thus,  from  yrJ'J 
tap,  Ist  rra^I  tat6p  or  fTrH'^^tatSp,  2d  FTrP?  tatdp,  3d  ?THTO^ 
tatSp.

e.  A  medial  short  vowel  has  in  all  three  persons  alike 
the  go^a-stiengthening  (where  this  is  possible:  240):  thus, 
from  y^  drub  comes  ^<i^  dudT6h ;  from  yf^  vl^  comes 
f^c^l  viT^9 ;   from  y^iH  krt  comes  ^^  oakart. 

f.  An  iDitial  abort  vowel  before  a  single  final  conaonant  Is  to  be 
treated  like  a  medial,  bnt  the  qnotable  examples  are  very  few:  Danely,

notice:

Ferfeot  Participle. 

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). 

a.  Bat  piTtieiples  of  which  the  perfect-aUm  Is  mouoarlltbli;  hy  4b- 
sence  of  the  redapllcsdan  do  not  tike  the  union-towel;  thns,  vidvaAs, 
Slid  in  v..  dft^lt&B  (SV.  (UqivaAs),  nu^v^B,  aShv^B,  khld- 
v&Ab(?);  uid  R.  bt»  (Im  dadv^fia  (AV.  dadivaAs  and  oace  dad&v^AB)

TB.     B«t  AV.  baa  viqlv^As  and  varjivll^  (la  negative  fem.  ivarju^i). 

804.  Other  Vedic  iTragularitiea  calling  for  notice  aie  few.  The  long 
vowel  of  the  radopIUatlan  (786)  appeirg  In  the  pirtleiple  ii  In  the  iiidlcatiTe: 
thug,  vavfdhTttAB,  B&aatavlbbs,  JQJuvlbbB.  RV.  and  AT.  have  BasavifiB 
from  i/san  ot  bS.  RV.  makes  tbe  ptiTtlclpUI  foims  of  ytf  or  tar  from 
different  modlflcitions  of  the  root:  thns,  tttirvAAa,  but  tatar&^BB.  Re- 
specting tlie  occasional  exchange!  of  strong  and  weak  stem  in  Inflection, 
see  above,  482  o. 

SOB.  a.  From  roots  gam  ftud  ban  the  Veda  makeg  the  strong  stems 
jngaavaAs  (aa  to  then,  aeeSiSa)  and  jacbaavltAs ;  the  later  language

in  the  middle  inflection:  thus,  ^3UH  bubudhftnd,  (+^JH

b^ibadb&na,  q^adfina,  QlSQi^&na,  giifuv&ua. 

807.  In  the  later  language,  the  perfect  participles  have  nearly  gone 
out  of  use;  eren  the  active  appears  but  rarely,  and  is  made  from 
very  few  verbs,  and  of  the  middle  hardly  any  examples  are  quotable, 
save  such  as  the  proper  name  ynyudhSna,  the  adjective  anuoKna 
Uamed  in  icripture,  etc. 

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,

tat&nanta  (and  psihapg  two  or  three  othera:  below,  811  b,  end). 

811>    Bot  not  a  few  anbjnnctiies  of  other  formation  occur;  tbaa: 

a.  With  Btrengthened  root-syllable,  as  abOTe,  bnt  with  accent  on  the 
leduplieation  (as  In  tbe  majority  of  pTMenl-rorms  of  the  reduplicating  clua: 
above,  646].  Here  the  forms  with  primary  endings,  andTS,  preponderate, 
and  are  not  very  rare:  for  example,  jujofasl,  Jojofatl,  J^ofathas, 
Jnjo^atha  (other  persona  do  not  occur).  With  secondary  endings,  J^oqas, 
jAjo^at,  and  JuJOf  an  are  the  form*  that  belong  moat  dlstinrtly  bnie  (since 
dAdJ^as  and  afif&das  etc.  are  perhapa  rather  torlsta].  And  there  Is  no 
middle  form  but  Jnjo^te  (RV.:  see  above,  810  o). 

b.  With  unstrengtbened  root-syllable  occur  a  small  body  ef  forma, 
which  are  apparently  also  accented  on  the  redaplicatton  (accented  examples 
are  found  only  in  3d  pi.  mid.);  thua,  active,  for  example,  mnmuoaBi

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.

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.

as  usual,  lose  their  W  S  before  it;  ^  bhQ  (as  in  the  perfect:

make  such  forms  in  the  RV. 

Fafisive  Aorist  third  peraon  singular. 

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. 

a.  Th«  ending  1  belongs  eliewheie  only  to  tba  Qnt  person;  and  thla

it  extremely  Improbable;  and  henoe,  aa  an  aotlst  formation  from  the  aimple 
root,  this  is  most  properly  treated  here,  in  connection  with  the  ordinary 
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-

of  the  roots  forming  their  middle  according  to  the  a-olass

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

SB6.  The  reduplicated  aorist  is  different  from  the  other

all  oajei  to  the  detiTatiTB  (causative  etc.)  conjugation  in 
WI  ijBi,  as  the  aorist  of  that  conjugation,  and  is  therefore 
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

309  3'  Reduplicated  Aokist.  [ — 868 

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). 

b.  A  medial  j  li  allawsd  by  the  gnmrnarluu  to  retiln  the  itrenKtben-

o.  These  torlMt  u«  not  dlattngnlibable  In  fntm  from  the  so-ulled 
pluparfecu  (817  ft.). 

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- 
am  etc.,  ajlJiUpat  (but  ESS.  ajljfiapat],  jitaipas,  ajijlpata  (but  VS. 
^yapata);  but  from  frap  comes  afl^rapftma  (QB.)- 

86S.  Examples  of  this  serist  from  roets  with  initial  vowel  aia  very 
raiej  Ibo  older  language  has  only  Kmamat  (or  amamat)  from  yam,

(8S6)  it  oecQTs  onlj'  twice;  and  it  has  been  found  quotable  from  hardly 
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: 

A.  With  endings  added  directly  to  the  sibilant: 

4.  with  Hs  simply  after  t^e  root:  a-aorist; 
h.  with  ^  i  before  the  ?  s:  i^-aorist; 

5.  the  same,  with  TT  a  at  end  of  root:  siv-aoiiat. 

B.  With  S  a  added  to  the  sibilaot  before  the  endings : 

7.  with  sibilant  and  9  a:  sa-aorist. 
a.  Aa   legarda  the  distinction   ^etveea   the   fouilb   uid   flfth  fonni,  It 
may  be  sild  in  a  genenl  wtr  that  thoae  roots  Incline  to  t^e  tbe  (nxllUty

U)  lar  down  any  atricl  inlaa  m  to  this  accordance.     Compare  803. 

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.

O.  This  inaerUon  li  nnknoim  In  th«  ttfliest  linfntge  (of  the  RT.) :

861.  R.  Before  endings  beglnoiDg  with  t  or  th,  the  tenBe-sign  ■ 
is  (898  a-«)  omitted  After  the  fiDXI  coDsonsnt  of  a  root  —  unlesa  this 
be  r,  or  n  or  m  (converted  to  anaavSTft). 

b.  The  same  omiialan  li  at  eoune  made  before  dbvun  after  a  con- 
Mnant;  aod  after  a  totoI  the  libiUnt  Is  either  omitted  ot  siBimilatad  (tho

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

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

about  fifty,  of  which  fifteen  are  additional  to  those  in  RV.J;  and  the 
epic  and  classical  literature  adds  but  a  very  small  number.  It  has  in 
the  Veila  certain  peculiarities  of  stem- formation  and  inflection,  and 
.also  the  fall  series  of  modes  —  of  which  the  optative  middle  is  re- 
tained also  later  as  a  part  of  the  "precative"  (but  see  026  b).

d.  (JB.  has  once  atr&Bat&m  for  atrAatfim  (yttft). 

8SB.  Tbe  principal  peculiarity  of  the  older  language  in  regard 
to  inflection  is  the  frequent  absence  of  I  in  the  endings  of  2d  and 
.3d  sing,  act.,  and  the  consequent  loss  of  tbe  consonant-ending,  and 
sometimes  of  root-finals  (150).  The  forms  without  I  are  tbe  only  ones

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

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,

a.  Tbe  participle  hihaiiiKiia  and  caDsatlTe  hftsayanti  (KY.)  show 
that  li&S  had  assumed,  even  at  a  lery  early  period,  tbe  valne  of  a  secon- 
dary root  beside  bA  for  other  forms  than  tbe  aotlst.

this  soiist  end  in  31  9,  ^  9,  or  ^  h  —  all  of  them  sounda 
which  in  combination  with  the  tense-sign  make  vf  kp;  and 
they  have  ^  i,  3  u,  ot  ^  ^  aa  radical  vowel.

root-aorisl. 

917.  As  the  tease-atem  ends  in  Q  a,  the  inflection  is 
in  the  main  like  that  of  an  imperfect  of  the  second  general 
conjugation.  But  (according  to  the  grammaiiaDs:  the  fotms 
unfortunately  have  not  been  found  quotable}  the  Ist  sing. 
mid.  ends  in  ^  i  instead  of  1^  e,  and  the  2d  and  3d  du. 
mid.  in  ^g(M  SthBm  and  ^TrTR  St&m,  as  in  imperfects  of

by  n  s  or  ^  if  —  that  is,  to  the  tense-etem  of  an  B-aorist 
01  of  an  if-aoiiat  (but  without  augment]. 

b.  The  root  is  8tteI^;thened  accoidiug  to  the  rules  that 
apply  in  forming  the  middle-stem  of  the  b  and  of  the  if- 
aorists  reepeotirely :  in  general,  namely,  a  final  vowel  is 
gunated  in  both  formations;  but  a  medial  vowel,  only  be-

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^; 
from  yil  bbn  be,  the  stem  Hf^UJ  bh&Tifyi ;  from  y'^  rdh

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

sprakfya,  arak^a,  arapaya  (beside  aarpsya),  and  mradlfya  (beside

ft.  The  root  grab  (also  Its  doublet  glah)  takes  I  InatMd  of  1,  as  It

987,  This  fntare  Is  eomparaUiely  rare  Id  the  oldoat  langnage  — in

FartioiplflB  of  the  s-fatare. 

939.  Faiticiples  are  made  from  the  futuie-atem  precisely 
as  from  a  piesent-stem  in  ^  a:  namely,  by  adding  in  the 
active  the  ending  fT  nt,  in  the  middle  the  ending  ITH  mKoa; 
the  accent  remains  upon  the  stem.  Thus,  from  the  yeibs 
instanced  above,  3.inJM  dfisy&nt  and  <^|'HIHR  d&syAmftna, 
^if^mn  kari^yAnt  and  ^i^HIQI  karify&ml^a,

Preterit  of  the  B-future;  Conditional. 

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 
conditional  auraii  to  the  future  aural,  or  as  tbe  English  would  havt  to

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 
auxiliary  vowel  ^  i,  the  root  itself  being  strengthened  by 
gnna,  but  the  accent  resting  00  the  suffix:  thus,  ^TrT  d&t^

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.

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}.

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

Vedic  ezuDplea).  —  3.  Hedi&I  n  rem&inB  unchkoged  or  is  lengtiiened: 
thns,  lUbhya,  vAndya.  s&dya;  mtdya,  v^laya.  — 4.  UedUl  1-,  «•> 
and  f-Toweli  are  unchaaged  or  have  the  cn^-Btrengtlieniiig:  tbu,

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

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

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

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

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 
t&rl,  of  which  tbe  grammatical  character  is  qnestionable. 

J.  Among  in  these,  the  forms  -wblnb  hiTe  best  right  to  apsctsl  treat- 
ment M  Inflnltiyet,  on  sceoant  of  being  of  pecnIUr  formation,  or  from 
snfQzes  not  found  fn  other  nses,  or  for  both  reaaone,  sre  thote  In  ^,  ^tu^

L  Other  safflzes  and  forma  than  those  notioed  above  might  be  added; 
for  It  Is  imponlble  to  draw  an;  Bied  line  between  the  nies  classed  as

8S6.  In  the  Teda,  tbe  dative  infiDttlve  forms  are  very  macli 
moie  ntunerona  than  the  aecaBative  (In  RV.,  their  ooonrreDces  an 
twelve  timea  as  many;  in  AV.,  more  than  three  timet);  and  the  ac- 
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 
language  of  all  excepting  the  acousative  in  turn  (bnt  see  868  h)  is  a 
matter  for  no  small  anrpriae. 

887.  The  later  infinitive  in  torn  is  ofteneet  used  in  oonstmctlong 
oorrMponding  to  those  of  the  earlier  acoosative:  thns,  na  vifpam

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

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:

C.  The  auxiliary  vowel  la  taken  by  loota  gras,  muf,  fap,  and  (Ba

On  the  other  hand,  from  ruj  (rug^)  and  vraqo  (vrk^a)  come  raktri

participle  (e.  g.  Qptrft,  like  upt4;  odltvi,  like  udlti),  »  weak  or  weakened

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, 
■0  tUB  tti*t  11  li  burd  to  tell  pi«at)«lr  what  tbIhb  ia  to  Im  glveii  t«  the

b.  Hence,  In  the  deicilption  to  be  gl*eii  beloir,  the  aotnal  aapeet  of 
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

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.

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).

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 
aoriat  avevidiqam  with  precative  v»vidyieam,  the  fntnres  vavld- 
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. 

b.  Of  all  thU,  in  the  iDcient  Uagnaga,  theie  Is  baldly  a  trace,  Ibe 
RV.  has  o^k^e,  3d  sing,  mid.,  of  a  fotmatlon  like  hl^  and  StUfi 
(8Q4  d),  and  Ibe  geiundlTes  vltantasayjra,  and  marmrJeDya  and  vKv^-

tav&{,     As  to  j5gari;y&nt  and  J&garitA,  see  the  next  paiagispb. 

1020.  There  are  systems  of  inflection  of  certain  roots,  the  in- 
tenaive  character  of  which  is  questioned  or  questionable-    Thtis: 

a.  The  root  gf  (or  gar)  woAe  has  from  the  fltit  no  present-system 
gsTo  one  with  tntenslve  rednpUoatiou ;  and  its  intensive  stem,  jigf,  begiss 
esrty  to  aisnme  the  Talue  of  a  toot,  and  totm  a  completer  conjugation; 
while  by  the  grammadans  this  stem  is  reckoned  as  If  simple  and  belong- 
ing to  the  loot-olasB,  and  ie  inflected  throughont  aocordlngly.  Those  of 
Its  forms  which  occur  In  the  older  language  have  bees  given  along  with

10B4.  A  marked  intensive  or  frequentative  meaning  is  not  always 
easily  to  be  traoed  in  the  forms  classed  as  intensive ;  and  in  some 
of  them  it  is  qnite  effaced-  Thns,  the  roots  oit,  nij,  vif  use  their 
intensive  preBent-aystem  as  If  it  were  an  ordinary  conjugation-class; 
nor  is  it  otherwiBe  nitli  g^  J&gi').  Tbe  grammarians  reckon  the 
inflection  of  nlj  and  vlf  as  belonging  to  the  reduplicating  preaent- 
system,  with  irregularly  strengthened  reduplication;  and  they  treat  in 
the  same  way  vio  and  tU;  JSgr,  as  we  have  seen,  they  accoant  a

dandafayitrft  DKC. 

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}.

penultimate  i  or  u  or  f  optionally,  have  the  gnna-strengthenlng:;  no

flfarifia;  elkarti^a,  nliiartlfa,  mimardifa,  vivar^i^R,  fuqobhl^; 
but  Turudif  a. 

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-

1030.  A  numbet  of  TOOU,  including  some  of  very  com-

allowed  or  prescribed  by  the  grammajians  in  many  stems

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.

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.

will  be  noted  In  detail  below. 

1046,  Perfect.  The  accepted  causative  perfect  is  the 
periphiaatic  (1071  a) ;  a  derivative  noun  in  S  is  made  from 
the  causative  stem,  and  to  il«  accuBative,  in  Sm,  is  added 
the  auxiliary:  thus, 

?J|^!l1  ^tRI^  dhftrayaih  cakftra  (or  Baa;  1070b)

a.  Of  thti  perfect  no  example  occart  la  RT.  or  SV,  or  VS.,  only  one 
—  CamayiEih  cakftra  —  in  AV.,  and  but  half-a-dozen  In  all  the  varloni

104B.  Aorist.  The  aoiist  of  the  causative  conjugation 
is  the  reduplicated,  vrhich  in  general  has  nothing  to  do 
with  the  causative  stem,  but  is  made  directly  from  the  root 

a.  It  haa  beeo  alieady  fally  deactlhed  (above,  858  S.). 

b.  Its  asBOciatioQ  with  the  oanutive  is  probably  foiuded  on  an 
original  Intensive  character  belonging  to  it  as  a  redaplicated  form, 
and  is  a  matter  of  gradaal  growth ;  in  the  Veda,  it  is  made  from  a

staDces;  in  AV.,  about  a  Srtb)  irhich  have  no  cansative  stem  in  aya. 

o.  The  cauBative  aoiist  of  yrj  dlir,  then,  is  as  follows:

Ad  example  was  inflected  Id  fall  at  664. 

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&parai  for  yotht.  Aorist-stems  of  this  character  from  quasi-roots 
Id  8p  are  arpipa  (Krl.  JUapa  or  jTjlpa,  jijflapa  or  jJjaipa,  (Ifrapa.

From  the  causative  stem  are  made  a  passive  and  a  de-

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

its  basis  a  noun-stem. 

a.  It  ii  a  view  now  preiailingly  held  that  moat  of  the  preaent-

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.

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,

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.

adfaTUT&tl  performs  (Ae  laerifice. 

t.  Other  modea  of  treatment  are  sporadie:  thaa,  the  addition  of  s,  ■■ 
Id  etanaByatl  leehi  tht  breatt ;  the  change  of  a  to  e,  as  In  varey&tl

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,

gakbiy&tl  dttirtt  fritndthip;  nftiijats  turtu  urotnan;  —  qatrflf&ti  ael*

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

PERIPHRASTIC  AND  COMPOUND  CONJUGATION. 

1060.  One  peiiphrastic  formation,  the  peiiphiastic 
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. 

By  far  the  most  important  other  formation  of  the

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, 
intensive  M  HM I H  bobudhSm,  desiderative  ^HrHIM  bubhutsim, 
causative  Mt^J U IH  bodha^bn ;  denominative  H  ^  U  (4  mantxay-

root.  CombinationB  of  two  are  quite  uBual;  of  three,  much 
lesa  oommon;  of  more  than  three,  rare.  Their  order  is  in 
general  detenuined  only  by  the  requirements  of  the  meanii^, 
each  added  prefix  bringing  a  further  modification  to  the

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

"p&tk  (RV.)  enveloped  in  which  thott  didet  enter  the  water*. 

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,

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.

CHAPTER  XVI. 


INDECLINABLES. 


109,6.  The  indeclinable  wotds  are*  less  distinctly  divided 
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 
ezistenoe,  but  is  represented  by  oertAin  adverbial  words 
which  are  to  a  greater  or  less  extent  used  prepositionally. 
They  will,  howevw,  be  briefly  described  here  under  the 
usual  heads. 

Adverbs. 

1097,  Adverbs  by  suffix.  Classes  of  adverbs,  some- 
times of  considerable  extent,  are  farmed  by  the  addition 
of  adverb-making  suffixes  especially  to  pronominal  roots  or 
stems,  but  also  to  noun  and  adjective  stems. 

a.  Tiieie  Ig  no  ultimate  diffeienoa  betraan  «nch  tnfflxe*  and  the  caaa- 
endlne*  Id  d««leiulon;  'aad  the  adisibi  of  this  diTuiOQ  iometimea  are  naed 

10B8.  With  the  Bnffix  tas  are  made  adverbs  having  an  ablative 
sense,  and  not  rarely  also  an  ablative  cona traction.    Such  are  made: 

a.  From  pronominal  roots,  In  &tas,  it&S,  t&tM,  y&taa,  k&tos, 
am^taa,  avataa  (not  found  earlier);   from   the   pionomlnal  stemi  In  t  oi

prepositioaB  [in  the  modeiD  sense  of  that  teim),  no  body  of 
wotds  having  for  theiz  prevailing  office  the  "government" 
of  nouns.  But  many  of  the  adverbial  words  indicated  above 
are  used  with  nouns  in  a  way  wbich  approximates  them 
to  the  more  fully  developed  prepositions  of  other  languages.

case-Dse  of  the  nonu.  Sometimes,  however,  the  case-use  is  not  easy 
to  trace,  and  the  noon  then  seems  to  be  more  immediately  "goveraod" 
by  the  preposition  — that  is,  to  have  its  case-form  more  arbitrarily 
determiDod  by  its  association  with  the  latter.  This  is  oftenest  tma 
of  the  accusative;  aad  also  of  the  genitive,  which  has,  here  as  else- 
where (SMb),  suffered  an  extension  of  its  normal  sphere  of  use.

of  a  prepositional  value  (exceptions  are  espeoiaUy  a  few  made  with 
the  snfdx  tas:  lOSB). 

b.  Host  of  the  verbal  prefixes  (exceptions  are  nd,  nl,  para,  pra;. 
and  ava  and  vi  are  almost  such]  have  their  prepositional  or  qnasi- 
prepositional  uses  with  cases;  but  much  more  widely  in  the  older 
time  than  in  the  later:  in  the  clssslcal  language  the  usage  is  mainly 
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, 
antarA,  pari  — freely,  earlier  aiul  later. 

d.  The  case-forms  used  adverbially  are  in  many  instances  used 
prepositionally  also:  oftenest,  as  was  to  be  expected,  with  the  gen- 
itive; but  frequently,  and  from  an  early  time,  with  the  accusatave;

from  the  formatioD  of  declined  stems)  —  wm  most  oonveDientlf  treat-

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

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-

iDt  aparingly  eaiUei;  and  the  same  ia  (rue  of  the  gemudlTes. 

b.  Qenelal  adjectivea  and  noons  ai'e  lomewhat  widely  made  from  ood-

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,

~    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

But  the  latter  Is  only  allowed  nnder  such  circumstances  aa  leave  long

O.  The  reieijlon  of  s  final  palatU  01  h  to  a  gnttaral  has  been  abetd;

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

(in  each,  in  proportion  to  the  frequency  of  independent  words):  con* 
Btttntlng,  in  fact,  considerably  the  largest  body  of  derivatiTO  stems 
with  prefiieB.  They  are  of  both  classes  as  to  meaoiDg.  The  accent 
Is,  with  few  exceptions,  on  the  ending  —  and  that,  without  any  re- 
ference to  the  value  of  the  stem  as  action-noun  or  agent-noun.

meiely  mentioned  heie  that  inch  cemponnde  are  nnmeious,  and  that  the 
ft-derivative  has  often  an  actlTe  participial  Talne,  and  is  fraqaently  preceded 
by  a  case-form,  oftenest  the  accneitiie. 

p.  Many  words  in  the  Ungnage  appeal  to  end  with  a  snffix  a,  while 
yet  they   are    lefeiable    to   no   root  which    can   be    othsTwlse   demonstrated

The  getuDdWes,  lBt«r  and  earlier,  are  in  tbe  mttln  evident  secondary 
formationB,  and  will  be  treated  under  the  head  of  secoodarj  derivation. 

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. 

b.  Eiampiea  of  ordinaiy  adjeotiveB  ate:  urd  UMJe,  fiti.  straight,  PFtbu

eonquering,  d&ni  burHing;  ^aya  lying,  rtku  mnptt/;  dhBjxi  thinly,  pByfi 
proUcting.  Final  fi  appeals  to  be  lost  before  the  anffli  in  -Bthn  (anq^hu, 
antifthu),  and  petbapa  in  yu,  -gn  (agregu),  and  •kbu  [SfchA].

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.

primitive  word.  But  they  are  also  freely  used  substantively : 
the  masculine  and  feminine  as  appellatives,  the  neuter,

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).

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 ;

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,

(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.

a.  Qaite  often,  an  aooaiatlTB,  especially  before  a  root-item,  or  a  derir-

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-

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

namely,  as  do  uot  disduotly  exhibit  the  character  of  verbal  nouns, 
of  action  or  agency)  are  quite  common.  They  are  regslarly  and  obd-

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,

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

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.

ponnd  (aa  of  an;  attribute  word)  ti  eaail;  east  tota  a  relatlTa  form,  iti

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

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

ISOB.  The  ptMBflsaiTe  oompoaiid  ie  diBtingnished  from  its  Bob- 
stiate,  the  determinative,  generallj'  by  a  differenoe  of  accent  This 
difference  is  not  of  the  Bame  iiatare  In  all  the  dlviHions  of  the  olaBB; 
but  oftenest,  the  poBsCBBive  has  as  a  compound  the  natural  accent 
of  itB  prior  member  (aa  tn  moBt  of  the  examples  given  above). 

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- 
eoeks,  agnitejas  having  the  hrightneei  of  fire,  J&Kdmukha  aearing  the 
atptet  of  relative*,  p&tlkSma  detiring  a  hutband,  haatlpftda  having  an 
elephant'*  feet,  T^any^baudhu  having  fcehairiya*  for  relative*. 

b.  The  accent  ta,  as  in  the  examplea  given,  isgnlaily  that  of  the 
piloT  member,  and  eicapliona  ue  rare  and  of  doabtfnl  character.  A.  few 
conpoanda  with  derlTatltei  in  ana  have  the  acccent  of  tbe  final  member; 
•.  g.  indrapana  leroing  a*  driftk  for  Indiv,  dovasAdana  ierving  a*  aeat 
for  &i  god*,  mylBthintf  being  eouree  of  aeaWi;  bat  they  coiitala  no 
impllMtlon  of  poisetdon,  and  ue  poaaiblT  in  character,  aa  in  accent,  de- 
pendent (but  compare  1884b).  Alio  a  few  in  aa,  aa  nfo&k^aa  men- 
beholding,  nrvithaa  men-hearing,  k^trasltdliaa  ^field-pro*pering,  are  pro- 
bably to  be  Jndged  In  the  aame  way. 

1287.  Possessively  used  desciiptive  compounds,  oi  pos- 
sessive descriptives,  aie  extremely  numerous  and  of 
eveiy  variety  of  chaiactei;  and  some  kinds  of  combination 
which  aie  raie  in  proper  descriptive  use  are  very  common 
as  possessives.        ■

1889.  FoBSesiive  compounds  with  a  participle  preceding  and 
qualifying  the  Gsal  noun-member  are  numerous,  although  such  a 
compound  with  simple  descriptive  valne  is  almost  unknown.  The

ipieuou*  mh»al-rimt. 

d.  Of  a  nearly  paitlctplal  character  is  the  prior  element  in  ^rutkar^ 
(RV.)  oflittgning  ear;  and  nlth  thli  are  perhaps  accordant  ^dyagul  and 
Vtli^raQinan  [RV.,  each  once). 

ISOO.  PoBaesBire  compounds  haring  a  nnioersl  as  prior  member 
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. 

a.  Examples  with  other  numerals  than  dvi  and  tri  are:  dkaoakra, 
ilutfliqaii,  6kapad,  oituTaOKOi  o&toni^Qai  pASaKasnrl.  p&flcKn-

nra,  qatipBTvaji,  i;at&dant,  Bah&sragitDan,  eab&Hramaia. 

b.  Exceptions  in  regard  to  accent  are  hut  few,  and  haie  tha  tone  on 
he  final  iyllable,  whateier  may  be  that  belonging  originally  to  the  final 
member;  they  are  mostly  stems  In  final  a,  used  by  substitution  for  others 
in  an,  i,  or  a  consonant:  thus,  eatoTBik^  etc.  (akf&n  or  &kfl:  431), 
fft^ahi  etc.  (&han  or  Uiar:  480  a),  d»;avn&  etc.  (vf^aa),  akarStri 
etc.  (ritli  or  ratif),  ekaroA  etc.  (fo);  but  also  a  few  others,  as  fa^- 
jo^k,  aftfiyogi,  9atargti&,  Bataaarftrgbi,  ekapar&(P). 

o.  The  compounds  with  dvl  and  tri  for  the  most  part  bsve  the  ac? 
cent  of  their  final  member:  thus,  fat  example,  dvijAnman.  dvldhiira, 
dvlbjuidhu,  dvivartanl,  dvlp&d;  trit4ntu,  trlnabhl>  tiiq6ka,  trlvii- 
Ttitha,  trioakrA,  triqlrffui,  trip&d.  A  namber  of  worda,  however,  follow 
the  general  snalogy,  and  accent  the  numeral:  tbus,  for  example,  dvipaik^a, 
dv^qaTas,  dvy^ya,  trifandtil,  trfke^  try&qir,  and  sometimes  dvl- 
pad  and  txfpad  in  AV.  As  In  the  other  nnmeral  compounds,  ai  siibatl-  -

that  the  indifferent  aurfis  ka  is  often  added  to  a  pure  poeseBsive

adjective;  especially,  where  the  final  of  the  stem  is  less  usnal  or

1306.  The  posBMsive  compounds  are  not  always  nsed  in  the 
later  language  with  the  simple  value  of  qualifying  adjective;  often 
they  have  a  pregnant  sense,  and  become  the  eqnivalents  of  depen- 
dent clauBeB)  or  the  having  which  is  implied  in  them  obtains  virtn- 
ally  the  value  of  our  having  as  BigD  of  past  time.
