* wa, and mi are suffixes of gender The formative suffix cha is equivalent 

 to wa, in words like li-cha, a bow man ; Kun-cha, a thief, &c. The feminine of wa 

 is mi ; of cha is micha, as Koja-cha, a glutton ; Koja micha, a female glutton ; or 

 it is nima, as Kun-cha, a thief; Kunchanima, a female thief. Pau and po are also 

 masculine signs, whereof the former makes its feminine by adding nima ; the latter 

 by changing the po into mo, as dyal-pau, a villager ; dyal paunima, a female villa- 

 ger ; ryamni-po, an adulterer, ryamni-mo, an adulteress. 



The participial suffix ba, which also makes nouns of the agent, and gives quali- 

 ties a substantival character, as thyak-ba, a or the hammerer : neu-ba, a or the 

 good one, is another masculine suffix, which takes nima for its feminine. 



But participial nouns in ba are often regarded as of all genders, and when used 

 adjectivally, as all can be used, they take no sign of gender or number, or case ; 

 they precede the substantive which they qualify in their crude form, as neuba wain- 

 sa, a good man, neuba wainsadau, good men, neuba wainsake, of a good man. 



The inherent relative sense of the participles enables them to dispense with any 

 formative, but if it be specially necessary to express gender, such words when used 

 as nouns, can take the wa and mi sex signs, and also the signs of number always 

 supposing that their use is substantival. 



Dravidian participles are formed from the gerunds (fide Caldwell) and need a for- 

 mative to give them the relative and participial sense. Such is not the case with 

 Kiranti participles, though these when used substantially often takes the m, me, 

 formative and always if the participles be of the impersonated kind. See verbs. 



Observe that the Vocabulary throughout is so constructed as to be a clue to 

 grammar as well as to vocables. 



f Participial, like most of the following. See and compare the verbs, Neu to be 

 good. Neu-gna, neu-ye, neu, I, thou, he, am good. Neu-ba who, or what is good, 

 all genders ; Dual, Neubadausi ; Plural, Neu-badau. Neu = it is good. Root of 

 verb and of noun. So Newari Bhing, which has Ji bhing, Chha bhing, Wo bhing 

 for 3 persons, and Bhing — hma-gu for major and minor of gender, and Bhing lima, 

 nihma and Bhing ping, for dual and plural.
