the more usual ), which have been already noticed under No. 1.

3. Just as the affix 37 may he added to bases in % so it may he added 
also (though less usually) to bases in x and ^ ; hence a base in Xp(\ or ^337 
arises; e. g., 37f3 or amplified 37f337 poet, nom. sing. 37fh37»*, Pr. 37f3^iT ; 
Gaur. (Hindi) 37f33T. Again, 31^ or amplified 31^37 teacher ; nom. sing.

these forms are almost altogether confined to the Low-Hindi dialects, and 
are always formed by inserting the euphonic semi-vowel in the Prakrit ter- 
mination. The Gaurian contracted forms in ^ and 37 of this kind of nouns 
hardly ever occur. In High Hindi these nouns are used almost always in 
their simple form, without the affix 37 ; thus 37f3 poet , nom. sing. Sk. 37f3:

4. The Prakrit affix 37 may also he added to bases in 32. The 
vowel 32 changes in Prakrit to X (according to the general rule, Pr. Pr. I, 28. 
and special rule, Suhha Chandra 11,90. Hema Chandra I, 135.), whence we 
obtain Prakrit bases in ; or it changes to ^ (see special rule, Subha Chan¬ 
dra II, 88. 89. 90. Hema Chandra I, 131, 134, 135,), whence we get Prakrit 
bases in Thus Skr. or amplified ^<237 brother nom. sing. ^(237.*;

5. There are miscellaneous Sanskrit bases which, though they contain 
some other consonant (not 3f)> also yield in Prakrit a base in ^ or <331 ;
