Appendix
Awadhi continues to form future forms by the affix -hi/baand the present endings : 3p. afzafe, Tefé, etc.; 1 sg. aftes, etc. In 3sg. the ending has contracted with the base : Aftet, oftet, etc. But there are also examples of b-future as in the eastern dialects : 957, etc. Sometimes there are reinforcements by -gā as in Hindi : 3789 #fat alfe, etc.
The modal forms seem to be more archaic in Awadhi. The optative forms like 3. sg. şê seem to be sharply distinguished from the imp. 475, etc. Similarly, Opt. 3. pl. Gori, Afife : Imp. पुरवहु 2. sg. opt. दीजै, कीजै : Imp. जानव, लाइव; and 1 sg. subjunctive कहौं, करौं shows deviation from the present कहउँ, करउँ
There are also polite forms with -ia : #frar
The passive and causal bases in Awadhi are the same with -ā (as often in Hindi : qarat - TRÈ FER qarat).
The examples of denominatives are rare. The present participles (777, a, fagca) and past participles (Fies, 3) are abundant.
The infinitives are nearer to Apbh : trei ES, af AT The absolutives never require the assistance of kar.i : 975, afe, etc.
