Note. —For tussada, Ac., we occasionally find the common Panjabi 
form of tuhada, or tu’ada, Ac. 
2. The hard ‘ d ’ in the Genitive is also found in Panjabi. 
3. In the Serampore Translation in the instrumental cases of the 
plural we sometimes find assad and tussad, as if these were the roots. 
3rd person. The special forms for this have been lost except in 
the case of suffixes. In its stead is used the Demonstrative 
Pronoun, 
Note. — In the story of the Four Fools it is usual to place the Pro¬ 
noun after the noun it agrees with, and not before it as is 
usually done. 
Ex. ‘ mangidi medi kfi pio u da akhia,’ instead of ‘ medi mangidl 
kfl 9. da pio akhia,’ Her father said to my betrothed. 
Pronominal Affixes. 
In Sindhi, pronouns are affixed in fragmentary forms to nouns and 
verbs ; and sometimes more than one, viz., one to represent the Agent 
and one the Object. 
In Western Panjabi the use of these affixes is almost lost so far 
as nouns are concerned (though E. O’Brien Says they are found with 
nouns, verbs, and adverbs), and they are found principally with — 
1. The past participles of verbs. 
2. Some other parts of verbs. 
3. the Negative. 
They are, of course, fragments of fuller forms and are as follows :— 
Sing. 
1st 
pers. 
‘ m ’ 2 
as 
kitum 
I did 
2nd 
pers. 
‘ I’ or c el ’ 
ii 
kit ei 
thou didst • 
3rd 
n 
‘s’ 
ii 
kitus

Plur. 
1st

c se ’

‘ o ’ or £ ve ’ 
ii 
kitore

3rd

‘ ™he ’ 1 
ii 
kit8/ze 
they did. 
Note 3. Burton gives them slightly different, and omits those for 
first and second plural. They are written above as given by 
E. O’Brien, but I think that in one point a correction is needed. He 
gives ‘ o ’ as the suffix for the 2nd pers. plur., but in every case that I 
have come across it, it stands for 2nd pers. singular with Intransitive 
verbs. 
As the use of these suffixes is one of the most interesting things in 
Western Panjabi, very full examples will be given. 
1 Sometimes written ni , e.g. ‘.Tadan u dd ma‘lum tlildoni, When the knowledge 
of it came to them; so also Ichasoni, He will eat them. 
* A form of the first person with ‘ s ’ is found with Intransitive verbs.
