NOTES So far as the noun-inflexion was concerned ambiguity in the expression of case-relations that resulted from MIA. homophony was sought to be remedied by employing aid-words called postpositions to convey specific meanings. As we pass on from Prakrit proper to Apabhramśa, i.e. Late MIA., we witness increasing use of postpositions with case-meanings, because by that time only a skeleton of the earlier case-system remained. Such form-types were called sādhyamānāvastha by Indian Prakrit grammarians. Such form-types were calles siddhāvastha by Indian Prakrit grammarians. Intransitivity was a factor causing this semantic change. We find in Apabhraíśa rappijjai (“Mahāpurāņa’, 89, 12, 10), a newly formed passive from rappai which is itself passive.
