of its direct results was that the postpositions, which had had only & conplementary or supplementary status in the late Middle Indo-Aryan (or Apabhramba) stage, now began to function importantly as unaided indicators of various case-relations and the analytical stage was completely achieved. The language of our text knows of several such postpositione.
1. We find here some four instrumental postpositions baving the general sense 'with'.
Frete ( loc. sing. of een = Fre *company') means with; in the company of': flat-larut-tfait se taken ( 43a) If a stroll is undertaken in the company of various vidagdkas -'; het Pere T au-Eriefe The beds appear charming with (or by the presence of) young damsels'. This postposition is seen commonly used in Guj. in the form met. The Jain romance wypu (mid-fifteenth cent.) uses frèt in the same sense as noted here,
Cf. TESSITORI, $ 70 (3). . (=474) is found in a-lagu THPT ER ( 47c) “Some lady jast laughs with someone". E is a variant of : gelagu # 746, PART 79a, RT 99a. Cf. Owr. f* (TESSITORI, $71), Early Maithili fit, (VR., $ 36). Once informe (= AFT f.) is found : T oatfory " with thee".
afg-aras (= 8 enlarged) 'together with' is used thrice : Hauffeur AfHS (1870) together with musk', kg aitame (1886) 'together with nutmegs,' T The afts (191d)? e s corresponds to the Guj. ang close with' in usages like Britaš close with chest'. 2. The ablative postpositions are gas, gas, ti, afia.
3 with the loc. adverbs of place denotes 'from' as in fare Ne 65c from that place'. See Hc. IV 355. It is fairy common in Old Western Rajasthāni. See TESSITORI, $ 72 (10). Looking to its origin, gqs is the enlarged pres. part. of Va (=*) used in a preterit sense. The whole phrase fare ne Biterally means having been at that place, (he came here )' and this sense has eventually veered round to from that place”. (See As. pp. 22-24).
Pas (= fear enlarged) is another such postposition. HC. IV 489, 4 has frarerurgs from the heart'. Modern Gaj. Oft is closely allied with this fe. See ALSDORF, As. pp. 24-26. The one case in our text is a HOT GTE 87 --43 866 “And the forhead (also skull) is not removed from the left hand even for a
