NOTE TO THE INTRODUCTION.


CONSTRUCTION OF THE TELUGU.

9 a compound having the force of an adjective, formed by affixing, to the Sanscrit word, aina the past part, of cdvadamu to become. 4 as in the Sans. formed by affixing the Tel. termination udu. 1 as in Sans- except that, in place of being declined, the case is formed from the sixth in CM by the adjunct orucu for the sake of; when orucu or osaram, which has the same meaning, are added to this case the druttam or nunnation, if interposed between the theme and affix is dropped; thus these compounds, though derived from danamunucu, become danamuc' orucu and ddnamuc osaram. 2 as in the Sans. 5,6,8,7,11 and 12, as in the Sanscrit, with the Tel. terminations and affixes ; the two last are connected by the conjunction nu and, repeated after each. 10 as in the Sans, it takes the druttam before the following d,ha. 3 the third person sing. pres. (f d ,harintsadamu to dress - assume, from the Sanscrit.

NOTE. The compound dative, answering to the Tadarthya chaturt, hi of the Sanscrit and to the noun governed by the proposition for in English, is formed in the three dialects from the fourth case in cu by the addition of the same or similar adjuncts ; in Tel. by ai, orucu and osaram; in Can. by dgi and oscaram, and in Tamil by aga and osaram : ai and dgi, are the gerunds and dga is the inf. derived from the root d be - become ; osaram in Tel. signifies a side, inclination, bias, but this and orucu, from oray to join - obtain, intimately correspond with the English term sake, as, like the latter, they are used only in the formation of this dative, the meanin^ of which may always be appropriately expressed by the phrase for the sake of.

The Canadi construction is exactly the same as the Tel. the datives are formed by adding oscaraforthe sake of to the fourth case in cu. 11 and 12 agi, the gerund of the past tense of dgavadu to become,is added to these datives, and the conjunction copulative nu is changed to yu, to mark their special connection with the following word.

CONSTRUCTION OF THE TAMIL.

9 a compound having the form of an adjective from arivu knowledge and ullu the part of the defective uV toJtave. 4 as in Sans. 1 the dative case formed by adding aga, the inf. of ddel to become, to the dative of declension in cu. The sentence docs not differ, otherwise than as here noticed, from the Telugu.
