T? is, however, found in many passages where there is no reason for 
suspicion.

In one month he established a city. I. 218. 3. 
^ $ TO TO TOTO II 
He brought down his sword on the shoulder of strong Kanh. 
XXI. 261. 24. 
Of the instrumental case indicated by ^ as we have it in modern times, 
I cannot point to any clear instance. When we come to treat of the verb, 
the construction involving this case will be illustrated. 
There remains only the genitive, and this is indicated by the particles 
TO, % or to and art, as in ordinary Hindi. Sometimes shortened to eft as 
in one instance quoted above. Two passages may be noted in which the 
older form TOT, which has been recently brought to light by Dr. 
Hoernle, seems to be found. The first is that in the nineteenth (now 20tli) 
book, in which I formerly saw a pret. of a verb TOTO. This view must now 
be given up, and the passage translated differently ; it is a very obscure 
passage, however, and I now only give a tentative rendering. It is the rout 
of Shiliabuddin’s army by Prithiraj.

The other passage is at the meeting of the armies before Mahoba.

TOW Chand and in other bards, though plural in form, is always 
treated as a feminine singular. 
The kettle drum made a noise, the army turned, 
The sight of the Chauhan was separated from view. 
That is, the two armies lost sight of each other, probably from the 
dust they raised. It will be observed that ^TT in the first quotation agrees 
with the masc. ?rw, and in the second with the fern, gfg, so that we have 
so far confirmation of Dr. Hoernle’s theory. I have traced forms TOT and 
3TTt, as well as to, in the cognate languages. From the vast ocean of Chand 
fresh examples will probably be fished up, as we get to know more about it; 
at present I have only these two instances in my note book.
