402 Bailing Vocabulary. [No. 5. 



Remark. — The above list affords, it will be seen, collateral information as to the 

 formation of gender in qualitives used substantially. It also shows that the 

 formative suffix cha is apt to be equivalent for the suffix, me, m ; and as cha still 

 leaves a substantival word (e. g. Khyim-cha = householder ; Li-cha = bowman) 

 the genitival sign ke is often introduced before final me, to express possessiveness, as, 

 whose bow is that ? the bowman's, suke li, lichakeme. But Licha being bowman, 

 lichame may be used for bowman's. Newari avoids all vagueness by its hma and 

 gu signs, repeated to ties quoties with the genitive sign ya, e. g. Ji-hma, mine, 

 m. and f. Ji-gu, mine, n. Ji hma ya hma, Ji hma ya gu, Ji hma ya hma ya, Ji hma 

 ya gu ya, Ji gu ya hma ya, Ji gu ya gu ya, &c. express any number of variations 

 in the possession of beings and things : and so also in all qualitives used substan- 

 tially, thus, toyu hma ya hma, the white man's animal, toyu hma ya gu, the white 

 man's thing, toyu hma ya gu ya, of the white man's thing, &c. Compare Bahing 

 khyim-cha-me with Newari Chhen-ya-hma and it will be seen that cha = ya has 

 a quasi adjectival force though khyimcha mean house-holder. Such vagueness 

 is normal.
