From the aforesaid details, the following points may be deduced : that there are 16 groups of particles and parts of speech: 4 of three words each appearing in 8 feet, 10 four-worded ones distributed in 14 feet, and 2 of five words each occurring in 2 feet;
that na appears once in the first foot, 9 times in the fourth one, and 7 times each in second and third feet, and ma occurs once in the third foot and twice in the second one;
that na is immediately followed by noun, pronoun, verb and indeclinable, but ma by pronoun and verb only;
曹
that, as the second word, the noun appears only in the fourth foot, the pronoun in the third one, the verb only in even feet (twice in the fourth feet and 5 times in second ones), and the indeclinable once each in first and fourth feet, and twice each in the other two;
that in 15 feet the verb does not appear at all, while in mã nivatta abhikkama (2.107b) it appears twice;
that all the feet, where some indeclinable follows the particle immediately, have some verb in them, except in the foot na h' ete ettaka yeva (2.120a); and
