The odIj other particle faund arooagst the postfijces is the guttui-a I. 

 It occurs in 4 in Anc. Tamil nm-ffu, Tehigu iratu-//M, Karnatak;i 

 m\-kur "Toda non-A, Uraon na-M. It appeare also to have been 

 an archaic postfix of a lahial term for "one" preeerved in Kol but 

 now lost in all the southern dtatects save Toila and Tetugu, although 

 Iceeping ite place in 10 and higher numbers as well as in 3, In 

 the Tctugti vo-Aa-^i, ttie original posa. ka of the term voha appears 

 to have become concreted and the secondary possessive -ii (die 

 forjzi in the Qond wi-di) to have (hen been appended^ &6 in the 

 J^iEliut mvL'St^tf 4j and Kol m-ia*d^ 1. In Telugu the -ha of vo- 

 ha-ti is lost, !he dental only betni^ preserved in the sonant form 

 {pn-di 10, in iru-va-i 20, mu-pa-i 30 &c the ie dropped). The 

 other dialects, with one exception, have also lost tfae gnltural. 

 The exception is Ancient Tamil which has on-ba-Ai<-dfM 9, i. e, 

 **me (from) ien" ora-pa-Jbu-du 10 *^07m-ieUf* jra-pa-&M*rfu 20 

 (2, 10) &c, In some vocabularies of Toda it occurs b 5 yajj-i/ti#, 

 hhu. It appears to be the definitive found in the dative {-hu^ 

 -a Aw, -nAa, -^f, -fje Ice.) and in the componnd possessive and 

 dative -pc-ka, -yo-k. The additional postfixes in Uraon^ Gond, 

 Male (1) and Brahni appefiT to bo attributable to these languages 

 having left the home circle of the Dmvlrian family. Gond has 

 even a prefix in 0 and 6 {s-^i-jhan 5, AT-rong; 6)* 



Tlte miitnal connection of the roots themselves \9 somewliat 

 obscure. 1, 2 aiad 3 appear to be distinct roots. 1, on, (no, o, in 

 the Toda 11, na in moet of the dialects in 100, bnt on in Toda) 

 is definitive in Dravirian as in many other languages, in several of 

 which it is also used as the unit, " the," this" " he," " k " &c. 

 for "one," "a". In Sooib Ujuvirian it occnrsas ademoniFtrative, 

 generally in the curt form a (followed by defimtive postfixes 

 marking th« gender). Tulnva ha« ayi, Kbond yan, and the Kol 

 diuiecls inr, wni "he" nea, noa, nia, ni^ " this,*' eno, ana, 

 bono, " that." Talura has also in-c/ii ** here/' m.-chi ** there.''
