In these last three examples the pronoun has become imbedded in 
the verb. Lendi! and akhai are for lends and akhi the 
first pers. sing, conditional; ghatsai is for ghats! the 
1st pers. future.

1st Plur. ‘ Medhilwall da- khial piose.’ A fancy for the girl with the 
braids occurred to us—pi ose. 
3rd. Plural. 
‘ Yad ay6h§.’ Remembrance came to them— 
Examples are also found of a double affix, 
as kitum I did it. 
kitiumfs I did it to him. 
sattius he threw, 
sattioms he threw them . 
3. Some of them are found combined with the negative. 
1st. Person sing, nimhe. Here, as in the case of the 2nd person sing., 
we find the pronoun in the middle of the negative. 
Ex. ‘ panjha nimhe mangda-,’ I do not ask a handful. 
This ‘ nimhl ’ is of frequent occurrence, and the common people 
have so far forgotten its meaning, that they almost invariably use the 
1st pers. pron. ‘ maT ’ with it. Thus, they would generally say ‘ mal 
panjha, nimhe mangda-,’ but they have so far remembered its meaning 
that they never use ‘ nimhe ’ with any other person than the 1st 
singular. 
2nd person singular ‘ nivi.’ 
1st person plural ‘ nise.’
