I. p. II. p. III. p.
ho
, 3
अन्तु
Before these terminations the roots undergo the same changes. as in the present. The contrast between III. p. sing. ti, tu and. plu. anti, antu is carried to I. p. sing. mi : mu, II. p. sing. si : su. Lassen derived the form vattasu from vartasva which agrees favourably with Pāli vattassu and Bloch considers both the possibilities as probable. Alsdrof su= sva. In the plu. -mo and -ha are taken from the present indicative, while the peculiar form of I. p. plu. gacchamha, citthamha is derived by Pischel as based on the injunctive of the -s- aorist found in Veda as gesma, jesma, etc. Before the terminations -mu, -mo and -hi, the preceding vowel is long.
