* Ang the constructive form of go, means my, before a substantive or qualitive 

 used substantially, but before a transitive participle it means me or of me, e. g, 

 ang tovi, who beats me, or the beater of me. Yet ang topchyang is my club, 

 topchyang being the neuter form of tovi, used as a noun. 



f There is no proper privative particle, nor consequently, case. Ang ma nosa 

 or go ma nosa = if I be not, I not being, or my not being (present). In Khas, 

 man na bhai : in Newari, ji ma dusa. 



X Nakpo, nayung is the 2nd numeral which is gendered when used apart, but 

 doubtfully I think, and still more so when used as a dual sign. I find, however, 

 nakpu, nangmi, nayung for the three genders. Also hie et hsec nakpu.
