Examples :— 
1st person, — ‘ Jumerat parnijl,’ Let me be married on Thursday. 
3rd person, — Examples of this are very common. A very usual 
phrase is ‘ kiya karlje ’ or ‘ assa kiya karlje,’ used in the sense 
‘ what is to be done ? ’ or ‘ what shall we do ? ’ In the latter 
instance assi is in the instrumental, and the phrase literally is, 
‘ By us what should be done ? ’ 
Other examples are — 
‘ Kliawe bia, marije bia,’ One ate it, the other is beaten. 
‘ Savvar banije,’ Let the blanket be'made. 
1 This form is still in use, but with an active meaning,—Thus marela, as applied 
to an animal, would mean one apt to kick or strike, and is equivalent to marnewala. 
‘ -^h marela shakhs he ’ = This is a man who uses his fists on small provocation.
