SYNTAX
Use of cases 22. The loc. aviraesu (III.43*) seems to be due to attraction by thāmesum; cf. aviraehim in the following verse. Note the gen. cakkhuņo with pāsiya (II. $22.5) and the loc. with metti, i.e. maitri (1.59*) and saddhim (II.$10.4f.). antara "difference" governs both the abl, and the gen. in II.142*. 23.
Use of verb forms 23. . If we understand alabhanta as alabhanto (see above par.16 under Nom. b.) vs. III.25* may be a conditional sentence (cf. Hc.3.18037) of the type jai ramanto jiņa-desie sāmanne, ajja aham gaại honto (Daśavaikālika-sūtra 11.8*) "if I had felt like entering the Jaina monastic order, I should now have been a Gaņin!" Note, however, that in the subordinate clause the place of the finite verb is not taken by a pres.part. but by the absolutive. For further examples see Sukumar Sen, Indian Linguistics, Vol.13, par.153; Alsdorf, BSOAS.8.1935-37,p.329 fn. 24.
False concord 24a. in gender: cauvviham māyā (1.26* attraction by ghoram ?), nipphiliyam (I.128*), kammāņi ... niddadąhe (II. 122*), vivaņņa-juim ... bondi (II. $11.16)38 apāsaņijje (II.$11.22 attraction by dose, bhange etc.), cintaņijje (II.$16.1 attraction by vibhāge ?). Cf. also par.19 under se and je. 24b. in case: tassa ... bhūyão (III.$5.5). See above par.16 under Nom. d. 24c. in number: (1) Note that siddhe nithie pahīne (III.89.9) is governed by vāe, which the author has in mind, instead of by kayambam. (2) For aham ... cintimo (1.113*) and aham...ceţthimo (I.135*) see MNSt.A, p.90; Alsdorf, BSOAS.8.1935-37,p.322f. (3) atth'ege pāņī obviously is a plural (see e.g. 1.184* and 188*), but it is sometimes loosely connected with the singular, esp.metri causa (1.7*, 14*, 180*, II. 121*, 157*). (4) samuvvahai, vivajjae ... tesim (II.187*f.), influenced by II.186*.

38 Deleu: If we do not read -bondim (with Ms.C and 11.311.17) or assume change of gender.
