Mk. 48, 49. tanya syan mai, amhahir bhisi matam, amhēhi, amne, trayam . Mk, 51, 52. nirdistath maha, majjha, majjhu, nasi-tasy, apy amha iasy, ami os M k. 53. syād vā no, bhyasi amka vå [ amhahan), supi matam amhāsu vă amharu || 23 ||
(Mk. 54, 55. The nominative singular of asmad is said to be hamu, and the nominative and accusative plural is amhaish. Its instrumental, acousative, and looative singular is maïna. Three forms are recorded for the instrumental plural, viz., amhahish, amhëhi [? amhēhē} and amhe. The ablative and genitive singular are described as maha, majjha, or majjhu, in the genitive singular (in addition to these three) we also have amha. In the genitive plural we optionally have no. In the ablative plural we optionally have amha [? amhahan), and in the locative plural we have amhäsu or amhasu.
As explained above, Mk. substitutes mbh for mk throughout. Mk. 52 gives ambhajm, ambhahin, ambhe, ambhdhart, and ambhëhis for the instrumental plural. Mk. 53 gives majjha, mahusis, and maka for the ablative and genitive angular. He
gives neither no nor am(b)ha. Fol. 4-left

When we have the addition of vowel we have [sentences maoh as kõijjai (for hojjai) kkhu suarò deivvaho (for devvaho) [bhavēt Khalu sukaro daival]. Or there may be interchange of forms, as in balai or balau, etc. for bålão (balah, see rene 11). Such are the peculiarities of vowels as described by the learned.
