[N.S.] 



In the true ablative, with the sense of ' from ', there is no 

 difference between mere te, and mere dhore te liya. When the 

 sense of the ablative is ' by ', dhore te will not be used, e.g., I 

 cannot do it is mere te nahin ho sake. 



(3) There are certain peculiar uses of the genitive : — 

 (a) With the verb ' marna ' in the sense of ' to strike ' 

 the object of the verb is put in the form of the masculine in- 

 flected genitive, for example — 



*% T* Wfrr | wlft ) % *n?f 



* 



Manne is cbhore (chhori) ke marya 

 Manne is ke lathi mari 

 Mamie is ke thapar marya 



I hit this boy (or girl) 



I hit him with a stick 



I slapped him 



(6) The same form of the genitive is used where in Urdu 



us ke pas is used; 

 u Have you seen mj 



Manne is pali ke dekhya 

 Manne is pali ke dekhi 



; for example, the answer to the question

herdsman.

(c) In the phrase ^ % ^ #t qrfa *jt*.
