LADAKHI GRAMMAR. 
If the verb inces of the subordinate sentence is in the same tense as the 
verb of the chief sentence, it may be put into the infinitive (in ba or cos), 
and the subordinate sentence becomes part of the chief sentence. Ex¬ 
ample : ngas dezug inba thsorrarcig, I heard that it was so. 
Note. —The classical language uses the supine in par in this case instead of the 
infinitive. The Ladakhi inba seems to be an infinitive, as it may always be replaced 
by inces, never by inces la.
