R. C. Temple —Some Hindu Folksongs from the Panjab. [No. 3, 
( q ) The above forms take us imperceptibly to the conjunctive parti¬ 
ciple in 7, which occurs so often in the songs from Kangra as to show that 
it is dialectic, and indeed, it is as common in every day use as in the songs. 
It is probably nothing more than the old termination i of the conj. part, 
in the Famayan lengthened dialectically just as that used to be metri 
gratia* See Kellogg, p. 217, sec. 415. The Panj. Gram, notices it, but 
wrongly ascribes it to the idiomatic use of the perf. part, in the feminine 
form. Thus, 
ikk manukkh bojh lai turia janda sa, a man was going along with 
a load. 
char kuli manja chukki khare se, four coolies stood holding up a 
bedstead. 
The following are all the instances that occur in the songs: 
(1) bahi-ja pinj’reft, sit in the cage. 5. Hindi, baith jao. 
(2) Makadeb russi baitha, Mahadeva being angry sits (is angry). 15. 
(3) bahi kare gallaft, sitting let us make words, (talk). 18. 
(4) motiyaft run-jhun lai, having made (brought) a rattle of pearls 
(rattling pearls). 20. 
(5) chali rah’nge, we will remain going. 21. Hindi, chal raheftge. 
(6) pran taji jana n, losing my life I must go. 22. 
0) andar bahi-kari khanaft, continuing to sit inside I must eat. 22. 
Hindi, baith-kar’ke khana. 
(8) ta n suni-kari rah’naft, then continuing to hear I must remain. 22. 
(9) Amb charhi-kari koel bole, the cuckoo sings continuing to sit in 
the mango-tree, 23. 
(10) n’hoi, bo, dhoi, sej bichhai, ai-ja, 0, having bathed and washed 
and spread the bed, come, 23. 
(11) jahlu soi maift jangha, when I shall go to sleep, 23. Hindi, jab 
'mam so jaunga. 
(12) tere muftheft dikhi-kari, continuing to see thy face, 26. 
(13) tuft hasi pai (paina, Panj. = par’na, Hindi), you fell a-laugh-

(14) pakhi loch di lai de, having brought the fan of my desire, give

(15) ai mili-ja, come and meet (me), 32. Hindi, akar miPjao. 
(16) nimbu ai bikya bajar, the lime having come was sold in the

form i is a curtailment of the same termination; see Hoernle’s Gaud. Grammar,
