CONJUGATIONAL PARADIGMS. 



As I liave remarked previously, hoth nouns, the adjective and the sub- 

 stantive, may be inflected, or only one of the two. In the latter case, the 

 endings -li, -ni may remain throughout unchanged: -ptclii, -dshi unually 

 change into -ptcha, -tcha, -dsha in the oblique cases, and when used dis- 

 tributively both ma}^ be reduplicated or one may remain in the absolute 

 state. Paradigms of both kinds of inflection are presented below. 



Objective cases of adjectives in -li, -ni may be syncopated into -I'sh, 

 -Ish, -n'sh, -ns, just as it is done in the substantive. 



Following are completely-inflected paradigms of adjectives : 



Adjective in -li. 

 Absolute form. Distributive form.
