3rd. — Conjugation of neuters with a conjunct labial (m or p) : I. in m. Dam to

Infinitive and participles as before. 



Imperative. 

 Affirmative. Dam. Damche. Damne. 



Negative. Tha dam. Tha damchhe. Tha damne. 



* The Vayu neuter and passive conjugations coincide and the expressions often 

 tally with the equivalent English ones as dami, it is lost, and it is filled or full, 

 that is, self-lost and self-filled. But the Vayu reflex verb, like the French, can 

 express the latter meaning otherwise, viz. by damchem which is equivalent to daml 

 used neutrally. Dam la lam is another equivalent form answering literally to 

 Khogiya in Urdu though Vayu never forms its passives like Urdu.
