10. Roots have been principally divided into three conjugations viz I, II, and I - II. Some conjugated forms of roots have been given separately, e. g. 7AE, IE etc. the reason for this being that they are in the past tense and take the augment . The roots from which they are formed have been indicated here, e. g. vide , * etc. In Ardha-Māgadhi words, a preposition is prefixed to the root and the whole given as one word, while in their Sanskrit equivalents they have been separated by a cross.
Denominatives have also been sometimes given and they have been indicated by the abbreviation aTo 70*
11. When the same word ending in and also in y signifies the same meaning, either or q has been placed after it, preceded by a dash, e. g. atg-1. Sometimes the case is otherwise, T being substituted for. This procedure is based upon the frequency of a particular form in the Sūtras or upon the references and quotations given in the Koşa. Similarly the third person singular terminations namely < and fat have been given along with the root in the same place. Although ag and Tat are both met with in the Sūtras, still however, the inflected form is one only, namely अवगए.
12. There are some cases in which is optionally changed to s in the middle of a word; these have not been given separately, but the change has been indicated in one and the same place; e. g. Hal-1-3 ( 5419a ) etc.
13. , 9 , TT and other pronouns have been declined in all their cases as far as possible. There is no dative case in Ardha-Māgadhi. Its sense being conveyed by such terminations as, ut, etc. Some words in their inflected forms, undergo changes which are not found in the case of other words, e. g. Gen. Sing. T.
* ç is prefixed to the terminations ( farq, ta, fit etc. ) before they are applied to the roots in the case of the I Gaņa. In the case of the II Gaņa it is not so prefixed. In the case of I-II it is prefixed optionally.
