boldly   the   original   roots   of   the  language   project   from   the   surface   that 

conceals   them。       In   the   old   fragments   and   proverbs   of   the      preceding

jest�察  �but   because     the   very   inquiries     I  name    formed      the    subject    of 

controversy   by   the   latest   cultivators   of   that    'science��'´   4000   years   ago。 

51   In   the   declension   of   nouns   I   was   informed   that   anciently   there   were 

eight   cases   ��one   more   than   in   the   Sanskrit   Grammar���察  �but   the   effect   of 

time has been to reduce these cases�察�and multiply�察�instead of these varying 

terminations�察      �explanatory      propositions。      At    present�察   �in   the   Grammar 

submitted       to  my   study�察   �there   were    four   cases   to  nouns�察   �three   having 

varying terminations�察�and the fourth a differing prefix。 

                SINGULAR。                                                  PLURAL。 Nom。 

An�察                    �Man�察     。�     Nom。         Ana�察                        �Men。     Dat。 

Ano�察                �to   Man�察    。�     Dat。         Anoi�察                   �to   Men。    Ac。

Hil´an�察           �O Man�察      。�    Voc。        Hil´Ananda�察            �O Men。 

     In   the   elder   inflectional   literature   the   dual   form   existed´   it   has   long 

been obsolete。 

     The   genitive   case   with   them   is   also   obsolete�察  �the   dative   supplies   its 

place�此  �they   say   the   House   'to'   a   Man�察  �instead   of   the   House   'of'   a   Man。 

When   used   ��sometimes   in   poetry���察  �the   genitive   in   the   termination   is   the 

same   as   the   nominative�察  �so   is   the   ablative�察  �the   preposition   that   marks   it 

being a prefix or suffix at option�察�and generally decided by ear�察�according 

to the sound of the noun。          It will be observed that the prefix Hil marks the 

vocative case。        It is always retained in addressing another�察�except in the 

most intimate domestic relations�察�its omission would be considered rude�此�

just as in our of forms of speech in addressing a king it would have been 

deemed disrespectful   to   say ;King�察─  �and   reverential   to say  ;O  King。;   In 

fact�察�as they have no titles of honour�察�the vocative adjuration supplies the 

place of a title�察�and is given impartially to all。             The prefix Hil enters into 

the composition of words that imply distant communications�察�as Hil´ya�察�to 

travel。 

     In the conjugation of their verbs�察�which is much too lengthy a subject 

to    enter   on    here�察  �the   auxiliary     verb   Ya�察    �to   go�察─  �which     plays    so 

considerable part in the Sanskrit�察�appears and performs a kindred office�察�as 

if   it   were   a   radical   in   some   language   from   which   both   had   descended。 

But another auxiliary 52or opposite signification also accompanies it and

shares   its   labours´   viz。�察  �Zi�察  �to   stay   or   repose。 Thus   Ya   enters   into   the 

future tense�察�and Zi in the preterite of all verbs requiring auxiliaries。                 Yam�察�

I shall go´ Yiam�察�I may go´ Yani´ya�察�I shall go ��literally�察�I go to go���察�Zam´ 

poo´yan�察�I have gone ��literally�察�I rest from gone��。                  Ya�察�as a termination�察�

implies by analogy�察�progress�察�movement�察�efflorescence。                    Zi�察�as a terminal�察�

denotes fixity�察�sometimes in a good sense�察�sometimes in a bad�察�according 

to the  word   with   which   it   is   coupled。     Iva´zi�察 �eternal goodness�察  �Nan´zi�察�

eternal     evil。    Poo     ��from��    enters    as   a  prefix    to   words     that   denote 

repugnance�察      �or   things   from    which     we   ought     to  be   averse。    Poo´pra�察�

disgust�察  �Poo´naria�察  �falsehood�察  �the   vilest   kind   of   evil。     Poosh   or   Posh   I 

have already confessed to be untranslatable literally。                  It is an expression 

of contempt not unmixed with pity。              This radical seems to have originated 

from  inherent   sympathy
