In Apabbramśa the gender (of a word) is often different (from its gender in Sanskrit ): e. g.
pins ta' ( =' at ATT CITY 441 ) ( Vide : sūtra 345.1 )
Here the originally Masculine noun ( 727 ) has been declined as a Neuter noun.

: GT-AIR-FT-Har: a: fer F2141: (fa) para il “ The clouds are shrowding the mountains. (Seeing this ) the traveller hurries up (lit. "moves') crying. He is frightened : when it (i. e. the cloud') is so intent on swallowing up such (= vast) mountains, will it ever spare his beloved ?'" . Here 361 is Masculine though the original Sanskrit word (3774) is Neuter. (2) qe fassat 37. ferr: altri Fiat 791 Frift Fai ( = firei) (ART) : (fera: ), amfiter
( at ) FTFIR “ The bowels are entwining the feet, and the (chopped) head has been resting on the shoulder; yet the hand has firmly grasped the dagger-for such, my lord, I would give away my life,”
