In all these, it will be seen, the Genitive is merely the oblique form 

 stripped of the special affixes or prefixes of other cases. It is the same in 

 the Ghalchah dialects • compare the f ollowing pronouns of Sarikoli which 

 possess separate oblique forms : 



yu

<<$e. $o.) kSfc. Sfc.) L'Sfc. 



Gen. mu of me tu of thee wi 



But the rule holds good throughout, even when, as in the case of sub- 

 stantives, the (singular) oblique cases have no form distinct from the 

 nominative. 



The Dative in the Ghalchah dialects is formed by the post-position ar 

 or ir. This also occurs in one of the Dardu dialects, the Khajuna,

 The Accusative in the Dard dialects has no appropriate termination or 

 affix, but consists of the bare noun either in its nominative or its oblique 



in Greek, Latin, French, &c, and quotes in a foot note the statement that 'the 

 Algonquins have but one case, which may he called locative.' Lectures in the Science 

 of Language, vol. I, pp. 250. Ed. 1866. 



* In Dr. Leitner's work this stands as thanor, hut the n is probably a misprint 

 for m.
