Another form, = sinmi, sitmi, sitmi, is sitvi nognom, sitvi nonum, sitvi nomi, 

 and so on, formed by active participle and substantive verb. 



f Compare with sinmi, sitmi, sitmi, the correspondent syana, syata, syata of 

 Newari. The root (si, sa vel sya) and the augments (n and t) are alike and alike 

 disposed, that is, the augment following the root. So also in both tongues the 

 augment of the 2nd and 3rd person, or t, constitutes the passive in all 3 persons 

 si-t-gnom ; si-t-mi, si-t-mi = Newari syata, sya-ta, sya-ta. The si-t of the one 

 is precisely the sya-t or sha-t of the other, the t being that mark of action, apart 

 from one's own, whereby the passive (with the help of the separate prefixed objec- 

 tive pronoun in both tongues alike) is denoted. And yet these two languages have 

 all the superficial marks of wide contrariety and opposition. In the vocabulary I 

 have pointed attention to identical roots or words used verbally in one of these 

 tongues, substantially in the other, or of which the one has the primitive, the 

 other the derivative. What I would imply is that identical roots and constructive 

 principles may be found in this family of tongues where one would least expect 

 to find them.
