EXAMPLES of derivatives from Arabic quadri- 

 literals rarely occur in the Persian language ; 

 and from the 9th, 11th, 12th, and 13th, conjuga- 

 tions of nilirerals there are none to be met with. I 

 have, therefore, confined my observations to the nine 

 conjugations included in the table. And al hough 

 particular senses and uses are assigned to each of t hesd 

 by grammarians, (which may be seen in Mr, Richard- 

 son's Gram. p. 65 ) it is at the same time to be ob- 

 served, that they are nevertheless frequently used in 

 other senses; many of them retaining the simple 

 signification of their primitives: and that every root 

 does not extend through every conjugation, hut that 

 some ^re used in one form, many in several, none 

 in all. 



These observations are applicable to the present 

 subject ; and the derivatives of such conju£at ; or.s as 

 are more frequently used in the Arabic, seem also to 

 be more frequently than any other introduced into 

 the Persian. 



Where no example of any particular form is to be 

 found in Golius and Meninski, I have left a blank 

 in the table, which may be filled up whenever any 

 can be met with. 



With regard to the examples which I have brought 

 to illustrate the following rules, they are such as 

 came first to hand ; and one example of an infinitive 

 or participle is intended as a representation of the 

 infinitivts and participles of every species and con- 

 jugation. To have attempted a complete system of
