- गेउ गिरत (= गिरतह) पाइउ पढंतह, इम विलवंती (= तिय) दिण पाइउ 157ab “While singing songs and reciting the Prakrit (gāthās), (I) who was thus bewailing, reached the (final) day (of the rainy season)"
(पिय) सुमरंत (= सुमरंतह)......इम जग्गंतह...अस तग्गंतह, जामिणि गमियह 158 “The night is passed keeping awake, cherishing the memory of the loved-one and carrying on to live somehow”.
दक्खिणमग्गु णियंतह, मह अइत्थिरिसिउ दिदू 159ab “While watching the road in the south, I saw the sage Agasti (Canopus)". __ एम सुन्नहियय भमंतह, रयणि विहाणिय 1998. “While wandering thus absent-mindedly, the night dawned". ___The usage is quite living in Guj. Cf. TESSITORI, $ 124; DAVE,p. 51.
(b) Genitive for the accusative. Besides the numerous examples of #4 and #ut governing genitive of the person tobe-communicated-to, the following cases of the genitive of the object are to be noted:
तुअ हिययट्ठियह छडिवि 750 (i. e. त्वाम् हृदयस्थितम् मुक्त्वा )
तुम सुयरंत 868, तसु अणुअंचि 130a, इम करुण भणंतह इक्किक्कह ण कुइ धीरवइ 1666d, बिलवंतियह आसासिहसि 191e, मज्झ संतोसिहइ 197a, महु मिल्हिहइ 197b.
Adverbially genitive is used instead of accusative twice : णकंतह 104c, d.
(c) Genitive with the word of comparison : सुन्नारह जिम 108a and जमजीहह णं (i. 9. यमजीला इव) 132a. As instr. postpositions, संमाणिय and सरिस (573. 1) should govern instr. But originally being words of comparison, they take the gen. also. So besides मियणाहिण सरिसउ 187d, we have सरिसु जाईहलह 188a and तुअ संमाणिय 78b. Guj. regularly uses genitive with the particle of comparison. ____Locative. Locative Absolute. Only two cases are met with : अणकियइ णियइ पउयणि 102d and पइ पोरिसनिलएण (i. e. पइ पोरिसनिलइ) 77a. The latter of these two cases also supplies an example of instrumental being used for locative.
णियभुयणि पत्त 130d and तरुसिहरिहि चडिउ 144a, चूयह सिहरि चडि 144d illustrate the locative of goal.
Several times singular is used for plural: वस-वीण-काहल-मुरउ 45a, तह (i.e. महीरुहाम् ) णामु 64b, बगु...चडिउ 144a, कयंबिण 146c, अंगगि 146d, दसह दिसि 148a, चित्तविचित्तइ तणुपंगुरणिहिँ 167d, तिहि भमिरइ 174b, भमरु 2050. Pk. आएहि...पुच्छिएण पवास-दियहेण 126a, सूरससिबिंबे 2a, लक्खणछंदाहरणे 6b.
Ellipsis. The author seems to be remarkably fond of ellipsis. At several places the sense of the sentence remains incomplete
