* These two words are samples of adjectives proper. Such are very rare in this 

 tongue wherein the qualifying words are mostly participles, usable too substanti- 

 vally, like those formed by tbe affixes, cha and wa. This is another Dravidian trait; 

 and the rarity of proper adverbs and prepositions, and the use of gerunds in lieu 

 of the one and of nouns in lieu of the other, (see Adverbs and Prepositions) are 

 two more such traits, to be added to those elsewhere set down. 



t I, thou, he, am alone, is Wa gicha bwa-gna, fgicha bwange, Agicha bwa = 

 my, thy, his loneliness. 



X The root bwa, to be (sit) and to speak, can hardly be distinguished in the 

 participles.
