मावइ (from Vमा) 141b and सरलाइवि 26b (cf. सरलयवि d) are used as simplex. It is by a rare chance that one comes across the ‘irregular forms like arra 165d representing the direct phonetic continuation of the Sk. forms.
B. The instances of the nouns, etc, used as verbal bases are : (a) (in 371 :) qarfure 65a from 2004, farefa 168a from faciat, afuta 208a from afurst, Hilarid 210c from viac, afecifa 218d from uantits; (b) (in 379/3119:) sista 26b and primufa 123d from , Force 96d from head and E1$45 1896 form ya.
POSTPOSITIONS Thanks to the working of the phonetic forces, the old system of the case-endings eventually became completely worn out by the time of the New Indo-Aryan stage and one of its direct results was that the postpositions, which had had only a conplementary or supplementary status in the late Middle Indo-Aryan (or Apabhramśa) stage, now began to function importantly as unaided indicators of various case-relations and the analytical stage was completely achieved. The language of our text knows of several such postpositions.
1. We find here some four instrumental postpositions having the general sense ‘with’.
fefe (= loc. sing. of Pret = hef 'company') means 'with; in the company of: fafae-fast auchfefe 3 y9644 (43a) 'If a stroll is undertaken in the company of various vidagdhas'; HET foot तरुणिजण-सत्थिहि 'The beds appear charming with (or by the presence of) young danısels'. This postposition is seen commonly used in Guj. in the form TT. The Jain romance 98439180491144 (mid-fifteenth cent.) uses are in the same sense as noted here.
Ha (< 449) is found in ont-fa opot Ho GT (470) "Some lady just laughs with someone". सउं is a variant of सवं : गुरुविणएण सउं 74b, farens a, og 995 99a. Cf. Old Gujarati. FH3, Early Maithili
sit, Once ihrfura (= r f.) is found : 737 hifupa "with thee".
