(d) The root-vowel -;-, -4- takes Guna : posei 'nourishes, moei 'releases', kovei 'angers', tosei delights', khevei 'causes: to throw!, veei 'knows', roei 'likes', visohei 'purifies' pavesei 'causes to enter'.
(e) In a number of cases the root-vowel remains short (as in Sk.) : namei 'bends', janayai 'produces', abhitaventi ' torment', sarayanti 'urge'.
(ii) -ve- comes from Sk. .-paya- (after roots ending in -ā- and few others) : jāvei 'spends', thāvei 'places', hāvei 'loses' khävio 'made to eat', āņāvei 'orders', dāvei 'gives nhāvei 'bathes' pāyae, pāio, pāenti are without -p- due to dissimilation. Like Sk. some roots have short vowel : pannavei, ānavei, vinnavei, pariţthavejjā, thavei.
(iii) An extension of this suffix is found in -īve- (Sk. āpaya) : jaggävei 'causes to keep awake', samārambhāvei 'makes do', chindāvei 'makes cut' pavvāvei initiates', rayāvei 'cause to arrange', ginhāvei 'cause to take', bandhāvei 'cause to bind', haņāvei 'cause to kill', khaṇāvei 'cause to dig', jalāvei 'cause to burn', payāvei 'cause to cook', kiņāvei 'cause to sell’, lihāvei 'cause to write', nihāvei 'cause to deposit'.
(iv) With the use of this suffix to causal base we get the so-called double causal : kārāvei 'causes to make', bhoyāveum
in order to feed', khevāvei 'causes to throw': with phonetic shortening of a syllable : kāravei, karāvei, davāvei.
(v! With the suffix -āda- ; bhamāļai, dekkhāļai, paisārai.
(vi) A few peculiar forms of Sk. are also inherited : ghāei 'kills', dansei 'shows', pālei protects', pajjei 'causes to drink.'
257 From the causal base all the tenses and moods are produced with the application of the usual terminations and regarding the base as belonging to Class II.
Present : are causes to make, veç teaches, grans places, हसावेइ makes laugh.
