R. C. Temple — : Some Iltndu Folksongs from the Fanjdb. [No. 3 r 
are masc. sing, e; fem., i: masc. plu., ia n ; fem., ia n. But in these songs 
the fem. infl. in iya above noted in the nouns is found in the adj. as welt 
Thus, 
bariya parati, a large plate, 41. 
merya nimbua, my little lime, 46. 
Nasalized forms of this inflection are 
fem. sing, bhukiyaw, hungry and na^giyaw, naked, 22. 
ap’niyara sassu, thy own mother-in-law, 45. 
In song No. 25 two remarkable nasalized adjectival forms occur, 
gher’wa?* and pher’waw, which appear from the context to be indeclinable ; 
as also perhaps garib’nazz, meek, 48, should be considered. Thand’reza 
panics, with cold water, 44, is a clear case of masc nasalized inflection. 
The ordinary infl. in Panjabi for numeral adjectives is n and a n, as 
usually in Hindi. Thus, . 
barazz barhiyaw, twelve years, 23. 
(1) Mr. Kellogg, sec. 473, pp. 253-254, derives the modern Hindi 
diminutives in ak, ka, ika, Id ; iya, i ; va, wa ; from the Sanskrit affix aka. # 
In the songs gad’wa, a little pot, 41, and nimbua, a little lime, 46, occur, 
but also several undoubted diminutives occur ending in zi, which are (?) 
probably connected with the above. 
chhok’rii (a little son) a widow’s son, an orphan : used also in 
depreciation, 15. 
gadokh’ru, a little goat, a kid, 15. 
eholu, a little cloak, 19. 
topu, a little cap, 19. 
khinnd, a little ball, 51. 
To this class also should probably be referred 
chacharu, a tick or flea, 38. 
mauftg’nu, a bug, 38. 
bhandoru, a bee, 59. 
Perhaps in the same connection should be classed the nouns denoting 
familiarity or terms of affection, such as the names Ramii, Par’su, Chhajju, 
<fcc., &c., and the Panjabi words pin, father; mauM, mother; bharau, 
brother, &c. In these songs occur— 
man-rakhu, keeper of the heart, lover, 25. 
chit-rakhu, keeper of the heart, lover, 27. 
appu, thou, 23. 
sassu, mother-in-law, 23. 
bapu, father, 23.

Mr. Kellogg because I have not Dr. Hoernle’s works by me to refer to, [See his
