II. Morphological : (A) Declension : (i) Deinflection of nominal foima zaluthafaa):
Though it is true that the deinflection of nominal forms whenever it occurs in the VL is, in most cases, due to metrical .considerations, it is a clear indication of the influence of Apabhramsa on the language of the VL. Even in Ardhamāgadhi we come across sporadic instances of ceinficcied nomiral loims. In Apabhramsa, according to Hemacanara (VIII.4.344, 345), the terminations of the Nominative, Accusative and Genitive singuJar and plural are often dropped.

3. According to Pischel, FG $ 206 (p. 148) farat stands for f* (froin -- to rub), ç being changed to according to HS. VIII.1.186. Pischel says that fasion would yield the form nem in Prakrit. See, howrver, 7i4gato in st. 768.
