G. A. Grierson —Radical and Participial tenses 
[No. 4, 
In Bihari, the third person is founded on another base, derived 
from the Present Participle used in the Kartari prayoga. 
It has been necessary to give all this detail, to show that the ter¬ 
minations of the Participial Tenses have nothing in common with those 
of the Radical Tenses. To make this quite clear, I now group together 
the terminations, Radical and Participial, of the four typical languages, 
Hindi, Kagmiri, Bengali and Marathi.
