Notes. —In translating this song all the “tas ’’andall the “ hos ” 
should be omitted. They are without meaniug. 
“ Jo ” in the first, third, fifth, sixth, seventh, ninth, eleventh, 
and twelfth lines is the sign of the dative case. 
“ Ohach ” in Gadi and “ chdchu ” in the valleys of Kfingra 
is a common word “ father. ” 
The meaning of the second and eighth lines is—“If you marry 
me to an old or a sick man I shall be a widow before my hair, which 
was done for my wedding, is ruffled,” i.e., I shall be a widow before 
my wedding dress is worn out. 
“ Bholi ” in the second line is the feminine third person singular 
future, from “ bhona,” “ to be. ” 
“ Goru ” in the sixth line means a herd of horned cattle. 
“ Khokh ” in the tenth line is the body of a Gaddi’s frock which 
is made into a pocket by the frock being tightly bound at the waist 
with a woollen rope called “ dora,” which passes several times round 
the waist. The “ khokh ” is used to carry miscellaneous articles. 
The wearer’s dinner may be seen in it or even half a dozen new* born 
lambs or kids. 
“ Gahli ” in the eighth line is the feminine third person singular 
future, from “ gahnd,” “ to go,” “ to become. ” 
“ Lela ” in the tenth line is third person singular future, from 
“ lena,” “ to bring*. ” 
“ Held ” iu the twelfth line is third person singular future, from 
“ dena, ” “ to give. ”
