NOTES ON GRAMMAR OF THE OLD WESTERN RAJASTHANI

difference being in the general pronoun sahu or sovi, which is as a rule introduced in the former, no particular mention of it need be made here. Let me only produce the following instance of a superlative with the postposition mahi, which has an analogy in the superlative with mē (See Kellogg's Hindi Grammar, $ 208, b) in Hindi : e apă mahi vadaü " This one (is) the greatest of all 3" (Âdi C.).
CHAPTER V.
NUMERALS. $80. Cardinals are generally used uninflected, except for the plural instrumental case, in which they assume the endinge. Quite probably the same inflection they must undergo in the plural locative case, though I have found no instances of forms in 'e with a locative meaning. The three cardinals 2, 3, 4 have no forms in e, but they have in compensation a general oblique form, which will be dealt with presently. The cardinals, of which I have met evidence, are the following
