42 Hiralal Kavyopadhyaya and G. A. Grierson — [No. 1, 
Class I.— COMPOUNDS FORMED WITH THE VERBAL 
NOUN. 
193. There are many varieties of the verbal noun, but only two 
are used in compound verbs ; viz., 
(а) Those ending in (silent) with an oblique form in tj ; 
thus ‘ the act of moving,’ oblique n*#. 
This obliquo form should be carefully distinguished from the simi- 
larly formed Past Participle. 
(б) Those ending in «r ; thus ‘ the act of moving.’ 
194. With the direct form of the first variety are formed — 
(1) Intensivos, (2) Potentials, (3) Completives. 
With the oblique form of the first variety are formed 
(1) Frequentatives, (2) Desideratives, (3) Inceptives, and 
sometimes (4) Permissives, (5) Acquisitives. 
With the second form are sometimes formed — 
(1) Permissives, (2) Acquisitives. 
195. Intensive Compounds intensify or otherwise modify the 
meaning of the verb whose root stands first in the compound. They are 
formed by adding, to the direct form of the first variety of the verbal 
noun, one of certain other verbs, which latter verb, in conjunction with 
the verbal noun, is then conjugated as usual. This second conjugated 
member does not, however, retain its separate character and significance, 
but only modifies, in accordance with the general idea which it embodies, 
the meaning of the unconjugated verbal noun to which it is attached. 
Examples are — 
‘ to place,’ 
mw ‘ to eat,’ 
VT?f ‘ to place,’
