________________ UKTI-VYAKTI-PRAKARANA 23 *ana for nona (15/29, 16/1 = nāraka-, ia coin' from MIA. nāņaka ='cpin ( Kushāņa), with the image of the Iranian goddess Nānā". Is the NIA. word ānā="anna' from this ? nāla ( 39/24):- ghoda nāla dewa 16 the horse throws the nāla's if the word means "horse-shoe,', then it is the Persian nāl, from the Arabic na'l. nāla may also mean .foam from the mouth', and in that case it is a desī word, found in Bengali. barisa (37/12): as suggested before, may have been influenced by , the Persian bäriš; but an Indian origin ás a MIA. sts. võrisa-<varşā is the more likely one. unha bathu bapha ( 34/22 )= usnam vastu barphati-barppha rapha raphityādi (?). If it means 'cools', then can we have here the Pers. barf snow, ice'? Or it means warms' e. g. bihănahi aditu raphā (34/23). This speech of the Ganges Valley in the first half of the 12th century was thus singularly free from foreign words. MORPHOLOGY (1) Formative Affixes 5 § 49. Apart from some affixes of no special force (so far as MIA. and NIA. are concerned) which have come to NIA. with words derived from MIA., e.g. -ă, as in bhāra ( 35/19), bela-(7/3), jābha (6/11), seja-(6/19), hátha (7/12), pāa-(7/17), băsa ( 35/18), pāka (35/28), parihawa ( 41/31), ghama (36/27)= gharma, uda (36/27)= udra moisture', ayana, sayāna (ajñāna, sajñāna : 34/14, 37/29), sūara (39/26 ), gāda< gadda<garta? (39/22), kewata (39/7 ) = kaivarta, tila ( 51/1), guāla (50/28 )=gopāla, kāna ( 51/12)=karna, dewahara (52/1 )= devagrha, kheta = kşetra etc. etc., we note a number of affixes which are quite distinctive, for NIA. Some of these are just continuations, 50 to say, of formative affixes which were quite living ones in' MIA, and others were created out of decayed words in NIA. " Examples : (i) -a : pleonastic,<-ka of OIA. : lahua =laghuka, gurua = guruka, balia= balika+balin. (ii) -aņa<MIA. -aņa<OIA. -ana : forming verbal nounso: karána, padhana, jệwana, jūjhana ( 34/8 = yudhya+ana-), khelana or -ani (37/19 : 'plaything') jūņa = to go (38/27); also concrete „nouns, e. g: bāờhani ( 39/31 )="broom'. (iii) -anihāra<MIA. -ania = OIA. -Onikā, diminutive,+-hāra from, OIA, -dhāra iholder'; in the sense of doer' (the vowel -; in the Jain Education International For Private & Personal Use Only www.jainelibrary.org
