 And so on, like wathi, except that hanung has no inflexional shape (itself being 

 inflexional). Hence it has hanung nakpo and hanung khata, where wathi lias wathirn 

 nakpo and wathim khata. And this is likewise the case with the possessive pro- 

 nouns, all of which, though but genitives of the personals, are regarded as inde- 

 pendant and declined like the personals. 



Thus also are declined the interrogative and relative of number and quantity, 

 with its correlative, or hatha, mitha = how much or many ? and so much or many. 

 Thus also the adverbs of time and place, Inhe, here, Wathe and Minhe, there. 

 Hanhe, where ? I'the or Umbe or Abo, now ; Mithe, then ; Hakhe, when ? with 

 all the rest of the adverbs that are not gerunds. 



Observe that these adverbs are derived from the demonstratives in the locative 

 case. But, where, f, Mi and Wathi, the pronouns take the inflexional m, or nung, 

 (whence come inungmu and wathimmu = his) the conesponding adverbs have no 

 inflexional mark, but remain immutable, only adding the declensional signs m or 

 mu, be, khen, &c. ; and thus we have ithamu and inhemu, of here, and ithakhen, inhe- 

 khen, from here, and abomu, of now, abokhen from now, not abommu, abomkhen. 

 Observe also that the conjunct possessives (genitives of the personals) are inde- 

 clinable, but that the disjunct are declinable like the personals. Ang, ung, wathim, 

 inung, minung, are inflexional forms merely, therefore angkhen = from me. But 

 angmu is a possessive pronoun proper, whence angmukhen-be-ha = from mine, 

 in mine, by mine. 



* The conjunct form of the genitive of this pronoun has no sign, being marked 

 by position alone, as when two substantives meet is always admissible. Hanung is 

 itself a genitive = of whom, of which, e. g. hanung got ha, of which (and which) hand. 

 Hanungmu = whose, apart, or in reply. Hanungmu got = the hand of whom. 

 Hanung got = which hand.
