R. C. Temple— Some Hindu Folksongs from the Punjab. [No. 3, 
kajo, why? 34: = (?) Hindi kaheko? Thus, Hindi kya in infl. 
becomes kahe: kya Hindi = Panj. ki or kia, which in infl. 
becomes kali or kas. Then kajo — kah -f- jo (see below 
(c) — Panj. kah’nuw, — Hind, kaheko. 
The change of i to u in the words kus ? kusi ? kuni ? kudhi ? kutliu ? 
is noticeable. 
(h) The forms which occur in the songs of the inflectional postpositions of 
the genitive for the da, de, di, dia n and diaw of Panjabi are : 
masc. da, de, passim : dew, 21, 45, 59: diye, 22 : diyaw, 23. 
fern, di, passim: diya, 18 : dya n 38 : diya n, 40. 
These do not differ essentially from the usual custom, which is this : 
Masc. sing, da : obliq. de : voc. de, dia : plu. de, diaw : voc. dio; Fem. 
sing, di: voc. di, die : plu. dia n : voc. dio. 
( c) A remarkable inflectional postposition of the dative and objective 
cases is jo, perhaps connected with da, de of Panj. through the forms dia, 
die. It has been already seen in min’jo, to me, occurring thus in song 56. # 
Hun minjo kiha n mil’ne ? How can they meet me now ? Also in 
kajo, why ? occurring in song 34, thus 
tarn kajo lai thi is kane prit ? why did you bring your love to this one ? 
1 collect every other instance that occurs. Thus— 
(1) tot ejo main dudh-bhat din him, maina n jo ghyo cliuriyaw : I give 
milk-and-rice to the parrot, (and) gin and crumbs to the maina. 5. 
(2) Sadasibe jo munai lah: bring blandishments to the Eternal 
Shva 15. 
(3) Asaw Gugge diya jatra jo jana, we must make a pilgrimage to 
Gugga. 18. 
(4) Ammaii jo puchhani: asking my mother. 23. 
(5) Sassuyo puchhani : asking my mother-in-law. 23. 
(«) j awghawyo jikk : shampoo my thighs. 23. 
(7) Asa n jo kusi diyaw nahiw gar’jaw ? There is no necessity 
of any one to me (I love nobody) 31. 
(8) Kuttya n jo pawghi churi: I will throw cakes to the dogs. 45. 
(9) Hataw jo daurya : ran to the shops. 46. 
(10) Aggi jo daurya: ran to the fire. 46. 
(11) Unhaw jo pai-gai ap’ni: to them had befallen their own (trou¬ 
bles). 47. 
(d) The postpositions of inflection are used, but are as frequently 
dropped : see Kellogg, sec. 152, pp. 78, 79. I am assured that in the 
K angra Hills this is as common in every day speech as in the poetry. The 
agent with ne is by many ordinarily omitted, as ghorew khadha, the horse eat: 
* [Compare the Sindhi genitive postposition jo masc., ji fem. On their derivation 
see Iloernle’s Gaudian Grammar, \ 377, p. 239. Ed.]
