________________ Classifica ence. for one's own ted. effect (Fisht), cause (Fitu), conjunction (data), Naiya yika co-existence (HAWT), opposition (fattu) or grounds of Inference. such forins of ratiocinations as are known by the names of a-priori ( qəday) or a-postiriori ( 1977 ) or analogy (A1Alaatze), as grounds of inference. Now this Inference, we divide into two tion of Infer: kinds, (a) Svårthånumån(EiTigA1A) i.e. Infer ence for one's own self and (6) Pararthanuman (artuignia)i.e. Inference for the sake of others. (a) Svarthånumán (Fruitaia) or Infer(i) Inference ence for one's own self, is the valid knowself, Illustra- tedge arising in one's own mind from repeated of observations of facts as in the case of having been in the kitchen many times and having invariably seen that where there was fire there was smoke, one concludes within himself that the hill must have fire in it in as much as it has smoke on it. It is worthy of note here that this inference for one's own self, corresponds totidem verbis to the first form of Aristotle's syllogism : All that smokes is fiery, The mountain smokes ; Therefore the mountain is fiery. 72
