On the basis of the aforesaid details, it is possible to draw the following deductions: a. that, when the particles appear as initial syllables of the feet, the
noun appears most frequently, and it is followed by the particle na and the part of speech verb in more or less uniformly diminishing order; that, when the particles appear as syllables other than the first one, the verb occurs most frequently, and it is closely followed by na and noun in more or less equal diminishing order;
b.
that in both the cases mā and adjective appear the least number of times;
that in the case of feet with particles as initial syllables, the pronoun appears more frequently than the indeclinables, while it is just the reverse in the other case; and that the percentages of occurrence of pronouns in both the cases are more or less same, and so is the case with mā.
e.
From Table 15 again we may know the following details about the total frequency of the particles and the parts of speech in feet under consideration : na 35 times, mā 5 times, noun 37 times, pronoun 19 times, adjective 7 times, verb 34 times and indeclinable 18 times. Of the parts of speech, the noun thus is found most frequently. The verb stands as close second. Next in order come pronoun and indeclinable which appear
