INTRODUCTION 3 4 10, vandhahum 3 4 10, lehum 2 15 8. paribhamahun 6 13 7, pekkhanum 12 9 7, parisujjhahun 19 1 10b (in the last seven cases the sense has different shades of indefiniteness). c) -hi is the only termination for the Second Person Singular and -hu or -ho (acchahu 3 4 10, gavesaho 12 8 9b, jämahu 4 5 2) for the Plural. d) Besides the normal -ai, -ei appears in the Third Person Singular mostly in metrically conditioned cases (khancei 3 12 5, karei 4 12 6). e) -ahim is not found in the Third Person Plural. $103. The desinences of the Future are the same as those of the Present Indicative; only the special base is formed by adding -(e)sa. Instances: 1. plur. karesahun 3 6 11a; 2. plur. kare- saho 12 8 96; 3. sing. hosai 4 5 4, vahesai 6 11 3; 3. plur. hosanti 5 9 10. The -ha type of future is not found in our text. $104. Imperative. a) Imper. 1. pl. (These cases can be also regarded as pre- sent Ind. 1. plur. forms used in an indefinite sense) jāhum 2 12 8, 3 4 10b; vandahum 3 4 10b, karahum 5 10 7, bhamadahum 5 10 8, paisahum 6 13 9, paisarahum 7 9 1. b) Imper. 2. Sing. i) -ahi: padarisahi 2 9 6, genhahi 6.4 96, lahahi 19 15 8, bhuñjahi 12 11 5, jāhi 2 9 6, jajjāhi (intensive) 15 5 6, jivahi 7 12 1, vollahi 18 8 3, dakkhavahi 19 15 2, ehi 7 9 1; ii) -u: jiu 4 3 8, nisaru 4 7 2, maru 5 7 2, hasu, bhuñju 7 12 3, taju, jujjhu 7 12 3, cau, sancaru 7 12 4, sunu 7 12 5, cadu, au, padu 19 15 3, bhamu, ramu 19 15 5, utthuthu (inten- sive) 10 4 4; iii) short -e: kare 4 3 2,9 26, (rhyme-secure at) 6 16 8, 15 5 6, bhuñje, 4 12,6, kahe (rhyme-secure), 613 78 6.9, pāle 7 12 6, anuhunje 12 5 13, anubhuñje 12 10 9b, ņihale 12 5 14a, mue 15 7 2, jotte 19 2 5, dhare 19 15 6. iv) -i: volli 2 14 1, suņi 5 1 1, kahi 1 96, parini 10 5 8. $105. The forms in short -el--i as also in -1 are commonly used. There are several forms in short -e. The Ms. which leads in preserv- ing original orthographic features, is also leading in attesting the imper. forms in short -e. It is quite naturally explained by Jacobi and Alsdorf as a development of the Sk. opt. 2. sing. in -eh. The -2 forms represent a phonetically later stage. Tagare's suggestion to explain it as due to passive + zero or to the loss of -h in (a)hi is quite unattractive. The term -4 is also to be explained in aocordance with the Ap. tendency to turn final -d into -u. It has nothing to do with the u of the 3. sing. $106.
