________________ A STUDY OF THE NEW INDO-ARYAN SPEECH Acc. or dat. pl. pitar-nha (38/11 : pitara-nhe gauga dekhala) - Vocative pl. pitaraho (probably pronunciation of pitaraḥ---aḥ aš -aha or -aho : 21/20). $ 62. From the above analysis of the declinational forms, the Full and Typical Declension of a Noun can be reconstructed as follows: sg. pl.

Nom. singular -u is from MIA. -0 =OIA.-aħ of nouns maso. ending in -a. This became the characteristic nom. sg. affix of Western Apabhyamsa and of speeches connected with it. Old Kosali, if it is really descended from Ardha-māgadhi, should have had an affix mi (putraḥ>putte>putti>pūti), but this -i is not found. The -u is extended to the accusative 'also, and even it seems to act as a vase (e. g. brāhmaņu-kiha). · I am inclined to look upon -4 as a form taken over from Western Apabhramśà by wiat may be called Kosala Apabhramsa, later strengthened by th similar affix from Old Braj.
