VERB 20. (A) Present Indicative a. In a good many cases the pres.ind. 1st pers.sg. ends in -am (MNSt.A,p.90; Alsdorf, BSOAS.8.1935-37,p.321): ciftham (1.81*), dharam (1.114*), samārabham (I.123*), genham / ginham (I.125* & 214*), pattham (1.125*), abhiramam (I.127*), kunam (1.130* & 132*), niharam (I.132*), nijjhāyam and alavam (1.136*), kaham (1.154*, twice), uddharam (1.181*), gaccham cittham suvam uttham dhāvam näsam (II.35*), kanduyam (II.37*), pavujjhayam (II.54*), caram (II.68*), puccham (III.42*). b. For vediyahe (I.133*), which is a 1st pers.sg.pres.ind., see Alsdorf, BSOAS.8. 193537,p.322 and Schubring, ZDMG.109.1959,p.455. c. e may perhaps sometimes stand for -ai < -ati (e.g. in ābāhe 11.65*). Consequently a few forms in -e leave us in doubt whether ind. or opt. is meants. 20. [B] Optative a) In 1.149* lakkhejjo / ijjo (lakṣayeyuh) is a Digambara opt.3rd pers.pl.! b) In labble (1.115*) und janne (11.134*) the consonant seems to have been doubled metri causa.
In III.810.7 vajja stands for vajje (varjayet) before tti (Pischel, 892). d) For udhiyeta the text has got five different forms: ahie (III. $26.3, $27.1, $31.5); ahijje (III.826.1); ihijje (see above par.11); ahijjine (III.832.2); and ajjhie (III. $26.12). In ahijjine, the part.necess. ahijjineyavva (III.831.1) and the infin. ahijjinium (III.831.2) adhii "to study" seems to have been mixed up with abhi- or adhi-ji (jyā) "to conquer completely". ajjhie < ajjh(ayana] + adhiyeta. e) There are a few instances of the opt.3rd.pers.sg. in -iyā (Pischel, 8464; MNSt.A,p.90; C,p.14): parivajjiyā (II.823.3), bhaviyā (III.8*), vāiyā (III. 10*), phaviya (with metr. short -a III.119*). (See also MNSt.A,p.90-1 for more forms and a discussion on optative.) 20. [C] Future
In 1.6* gamisse and anubhavisse (in Ms.c) are obviously fut. 1st.pers.sg. ātmanepada (< -isye). 20. [D] Participles a) The form pakuvvüņa (III. $17.4) is to be explained by Pischel, 8562. b) For jitta (1.33* = jita, cf. Pischel, $194) see the Glossary where also the derivatives in -ira (nindira, paņacciri, bhāṇira/bha', vajjira, vicintira, hasira) and a few interesting
39 (Sec. A. Master (JRAS.1951,p.164: Rev. of MNSI.C, reprinted below 110): "The spelling e for ai docs not appear till after the fifteenth century, when Mahārāştri was no longer uscd". -CBT)
