Now, having denoted the probable stimulating elements with the figures from I to VII and the newly developed ergative and other active constru ctions with the so-called Arabic figures from 1 to 8 (all with a aod b). we can imagine the historical development, so to say, from the OIA passive' to the NIA active approximately in this way. 184 I+II
Sa+ 4a+VII Ibt I-III
564 4b+VII 204 19 HIV
6a+ 3a + VII 254 16 HIV
6b4 3b+VII 384 2a+V
784 28+VII 34 26+V
7b4 2b+VII 404 30+VI
and, for the sake of consistency, 454 3b+VI
also 88% la+ VII and 864 16+ VII, although they are unlikely.
