1882.] P. C. Temple —Some Hindu Folksongs from the Fanjab. 
The ordinary masc. voc. in Panjabi ends in id or a, but in the songs 
in the case of an imported Arabic corruption anuswdra is added, 
muhimiyaw be ! O my brave one, 23. 
The fern, nasalized infl. end in a n, in and ikn, perhaps connected with 
the iya above noted. Thus, 
of cm. 
mainara jo, to the mama, 5. 
amma n jo, to (my) mother, 23. 
arnma^ d en pas, near (my) mother, 45. 
of in. 
gali n kaddhe, should they cast out abuse, 22. 
sar’km sar’km jana, going along the road, GO. 
of /an, tyan, iydn, etc. 
larya^ marl mirk, the wife made a sign, 38. 
lariyaw khada, the wife eat, 40 (khadha, kah’da and khada are 
common Panj. forms of the perf. indef. of khauna, to eat), 
billiajz chhikkya, the cat sneezed, 47. 
Anjaniya^ d en mele?z, at Anjana’s fair, 59. 
The following are instances of similar nasalization of fern. voc. inflec¬ 
tions. The usual rule is in Panjabi that the voc. infl. has no anuswdra 
unless it occurs in the nominative also. The fern. voc. sing, usually ends 
in e : the plu. in o. 
soh’niew ni, 0 beauty, 15, 18. 
bo bhainen, O sister, 45. 
tun najo yanien, thou young beauty, 23. 
bliaino^, 0 sisters, 46. 
(?) The Panjabi ablative inflection on is. well known and is well 
exhibited in song No 46. 
dhuro^ Lahorow nimbu aya, the limes came from Lahore from 
afar. 
It is commonly added to postpositional forms in an abl, sense; e. cj„, 
andarow, from within; uppuro??, from above; sah’m’nio^ (^T^f%^f), 
from in front of, &c. In song No. 58 it occurs in a very notable word as 
an intensive termination, nah inon, altogether not. 
Gaddi tera ajj marhe bicli nahi/?o?z, to-day thy husband (shepherd) 
is altogether not in the house, 58. 
( j) A connected nasalization of postpositional forms (Kellogg’s 
prepositions, pp. 272-274) is exhibited in kanew, with, 22 : age??, in front, 
45 : pichhe??, behind, 60. 
And of enclitics and conjunctions in mhk (*ff == bhi), also, 20 : 
akhew,indeed, 59.
