85. The conditional mood is formed in Amg. as in other Prakrits by using the present participle in a of the root as would be clear from the following illustrations :-- (i) तं जइ णं मोग्गरपाणिजक्खे इह संनिहिए होन्ते, से णं किं ममं एयारूवं आवई पाविज्जमानं पासन्ते ? ( अन्तगडदसाओ) "" Had the divine been present here (in the image or statue }, would he have seen (tolerated) me being reduced to this miserable condition ?" (ii) जइ हैं होन्तो, एवं च चिट्ठन्ता, तो णे सुसासिए करेन्तो - ( वसुदेवहिण्डी ) "Had I been there (on the throne), and had they (ministers) behaved like this, I would have taught them a good lesson."

86. The Causal forms are obtained from primitive root (i) by adding directly to those roots that end in आ, e. g., ठावे from ठा ( स्था ), ण्हावे from ण्हा (स्ना ), दावे from (); (ii) by adding na to roots ending in, e. g., करावे (कृ), कप्पावे (क्लृप् ), गिण्हावे ( ग्रह् ); (iii) by adding ए to the root and changing the first in the root to T, e. g., मारे (मर-मृ), कारे (कर-कृ), पाडे ( पड-पत्), पडिलाभे ( प्रति + लभ् ). All these forms are conjugated in all tenses and moods like करे. दरिसे and दंसे from दृश् are irregular.
87. Denominatives are roots obtained from nouns. Such roots are formed (i) by changing the ending of the noun to ए, eg., पहाणे ( ण्हाण) to give a bath, उच्चारे ( उच्चार) to ease oneself, पासवणे ( पासवण, प्रस्त्रवण), to make water, (, ) to make one touch or observe; (ii) by adding आवे to the noun, eg., सद्दावे (सद्द - शब्द ), उक्कम्पावे (उक्कम्प-उत्कम्प ).
88. Roots have a special base in the Passive voice from which base all tenses and moods are formed. This base is obtained by adding to most of the roots. Thus we have पासिजह from पास to see ; सुणिजइ from सुण to hear; पाविजइ from पाव ( प्र + आप ) to obtain, कहिज्जइ from to tell. This passive base is conjugated in the Parasmaipada only.
