THE FORMATION OF ACTIVE AND CAUSAL VERBS. 



§ 177. As in other Oaudian languages the neuter verb in Maithili can 

 be made active, and the active verb, causal. 



§ 178. The active verb is generally formed by adding ° do io the 

 root, and the causal ° ^'R vdv, but there are many exceptions. The roots 

 thus formed are then conjugated like the root ^\^ ]}dv, the optional form of 

 the root itt pd, 'obtain'. See § 167. Note, 



The following are examples of the regular adoption of the rule. 

 Neuteb. Active. Causal. 



iithab, to rise, 



33T^^ uthdeb, to raise, ^^cfi's:^ utKvdebf 



to cause to rise.
