For expressing the purport of 'for laughing', or 'to laugh' 'for dacing' or 'to dance', 'for living' or 'to live' etc., the above-mentioned suffixes are used in Apabhramsa. The words which are formed by adding these suffixes to the Verbs are called Infinitives. These words are Indeclinable. Therefore, these are not inflected.
The last suffixes (eppi, eppiņu, evi, eviņu) of the Infinitive are similar to the Absolutives. Meaning will depend on the context. All the above-mentioned suffixes are used in the Intransitive Verbs. All the above sentences are in the Active Voice.
