Occasionally the oblique form ends in ; e. g. '.-ffqfqiT qTWT 
‘after him (went) the earth,’ Man. 1, 12. 
Having exhausted the question of the oblique form of the genitives of 
pronouns, it now remains to consider those of substantives. 
First we shall take the following words, which, ending in «r, qr, If, 
and T, offer examples of nouns with oblique forms exactly like those of 
pronominal genitives. There are doubtless many others, but these are 
those of which I am at present able to give proof by means of examples. 
They are— 
qffq*r, ‘a courtyard,’ 
oblique 
qwqr. 
«r*f, ‘ an eye,’ 
q^rr. 
qfqtjT, ‘first,’ 
>> 
qfq^rT. 
qf, ‘great,’ 
yy 
q^r. 
‘ second,’ 
yy 
qqq, ‘third,’ 
9) 
q^q, ‘ a watch,’ 
yy 
VKJ- 
qsfq*:, ‘ a cloth,’ 
yy 
*fcKT, qpqqT. 
‘blind,’ 
yy 
T‘vermilion,’ 
yy 
q^fk, ‘deaf,’ 
yy 
q^Tr. 
fWK, ‘ the forehead,’ 
yy 
f^nsKT. 
To these may be added the following, 
^jf, WR, ‘front,’ oblique ^?if, ^JTJrf, ‘before.’ 
W, qTif, ‘ rear,’ „ qwf, qT^T, ‘ behind.’ 
«STT°, ‘ place,’ „ qf, «in a place.’ 
Examples are,— 
Direct , ‘ seeing the courtyard empty,’ Man. 3, 15. 
«fTy«T (i. e., *r«r) •flTTTj-^r, ‘ her eyes filled with tears,’ ib. 
'qfq ^q, ‘ I shall take the first portion,’ Fable, 7. 
(dir.) qf T (obi.) qq TPsl, ‘ lay (the burden of) 
great favours upon the great,’ Vid. 3, 6. 
tfq ‘ the second one who weeps is Channa,’ 
Mars. 3, 2. 
‘the third after three,’ Vid. 9, 1.
