(11) Ardhamāgadhisms
In several passages we find the stock descriptive phrases borrowed from the Jain canonical texts. Verbal forms like 73 (Sk Sa) 7.10. 32 (Sk. a) 129.7 and words and phrases like 3.190701-6a- 53.6 29-879, qaraga, PTE Eg'ar, lofria 130 25, 93 219,3 etc. are onlyla few illustrations. Many expressions noted in Jain, 691 pp. are also found in VHM.
(12) Word-order
(i) We have several cases in which adjectives used attributively come after the noun they modify.
(ii) There is a marked tendency for the conjunctives like go7, a ara to occupy the second place in the sentence.
(iii) When a sequence of actions or lappenings are to be described while narrating an event or an incident, the verb occupies the initial position and the subject either comes thereafter with the object in the final position, or it appears at the end of the sentence. Besides this frequent VOS or vso order, known to be a distinguishing characteristic of the narrative prose, we have also svo and the usual sov orders.
