* It is noticeable very that the verbs in po have no mark of the first person 

 singular of present tense, so generally contradistinguished from the 2nd and 3rd, 

 or all other persons. Even Newari preserves this distinction, daye, dayu, (in the 

 past, daya. dala, dah'i). 



f Tomi witli the prolonged tone instead of the abrupt one, means he places, 

 whereas to'mi, is he hits. The former comes from tako = place ; the latter from 

 to'po = hit.
