Exercise 36 Verbal forms of irregular Passive Voice:
The Verbal form which is constructed by adding ijja or iya suffix to the Transitive Verbs in Apabhrarśa is known as regular Verbal form of the Passive Voice. As, kara + ijja - karijja, kara + iya = kariya, are the regular Verbal forms of the Passive Voice, since they are constructed by adding ijja or iya to the verb Kara. By adding the suffixes of Tense, Person and Number to the above constructed Verbal forms, the regular Passive Voice of that Tense, Person and Number will result, as, Karijjai or Kariyai = Present Tense, Third Person, Singular Number.
On the contrary, the Verbal form which is obtained without adding ijja or iya to the Transitive Verbs and in which the suffixes of Tense, Person and Number are inherently present, is known as the irregular Verbal form of the Passive Voice, as, .... 1. Kirai, Disai etc. - Verbal form of the Irregular Passive Voice (Present
Tense, Third Person, Singular Number) 2. Thuvvahi, Vuccahi etc. - Verbal form of the Irregular Passive Voice
(Present Tense, Second Person, Singular Number)
In these the Original form of the Verb cannot be separated. They are required to be known form the existing uses in literature. The following Verbal forms of the irregular Passive Voice are compiled.
Present Tense Third Person Singular Number 1. Adhappai = is begun.
Kirai • Is done. 3. Khammai : Is dug.
Gammai • Is gone.
