Černyšev thinks that the gentence part function of subject most necessarily be expressed in any ergative construction 46 This opinion is not correct. Like in other active coustructions, the sentenco part function of aubiect need not be performed at all times here, as it is evident in many ergative constructions not only in Hindi and its dialects, but in other NIA languages as well: Hindi tohi mãgi magano na magano kahayo (Tulsi), taba friacaryaji
ke darasana kiye (Gokulnatb), tarkas me se lohe ka ek tir nikalkar
usko diya (Varma), Apabhrās na nisuniu pāca mahaya kabbu nal bharahu na lakkhanu chadu
sabbu (Svayabhu),57 Bongali para zara na kiat atthi na dian dana (Sarab),69
