NOTES-VIII. ii. 165-176.
हु, ठा etc. have सी, ही, हीभ as terminations of the Past tense, and roots ending in consonants like have @t34 for the same tense. These terminations seem to be those of the 3rd person sing., though the rule does not specifically mention it. In literature we get for the 3rd person plu. इस and अंसु, e.g, गञ्छिसु and गच्छसु and also अब्बवी etc. from Sk. In the case of 374 we have sig and here for all persons and numbers.
165. The Optative. In the Optative the base is formed by adding wat after which the terminations of the Present tense are to be added. We can thus have होज्जइ, होज्जेइ and BISIT etc.
166-172. The Future. The terminations are: 1st. FH, FAITÀ, ETTĀ, TĒTĀ FATAI, ETAT, IỆHT, FATH, ETH, FA,
FIA, TH, fè, fè FFT, PECAT. 2nd. PēA, PELE
PETETT, 3rd. Pa, leg
E. g., TIESI, ETA etc.
170. The roots x and at have in addition të and TË in the 1st person sing. of the Future.
171-172. The ten roots etc. have the corresponding ten substitutes for Future 1st sing. e. g., ales etc. To has etc. we can add the terminations of the Future and have सोच्छिमि, सोच्छिहिमि, सोच्छिस्सामि, सोच्छिहामि, सोच्छिस्स and सोच्छ and so forth.
173-176. The Imparative. Prakrit grammarians make hardly any distinction between Imparative, Potential, Optative and Conditional. The proper terminations of the Imparative however are the following: -
AT. 2nd 0, 3, as, sale, se, pa &. 3rd
1st
