There is an active and a middle participle, and both occur fre- quently. Both are formed from the weak stem of the perfect, being accented on the suffix. The strong form is made by adding the suffix -vams to the unstrengthened perfect stem; e. g. cakr-váms-, jaghan-váms-. If the stein is reduced to a monosyllable, the suffix is nearly always added with the connecting vowel -i-, as papt-i-váms- from pat- fall'. Unreduplicated stems, however, do not take the connecting vowel ¹2, as viduáms-. The weak stem of the active participle is identical in form with the 3. pl. ind. act. if written with -us instead of -ur; e. g. cakruş-. The middle participle is formed by adding the suffix -āná to the weak perfect stem; thus from cakr- is made cakr-āṇá-. 12 5 For mimiks-sva.

(The final vowel is long in the Pada text also.) The accent of these transfer forms was perhaps, except when the radical syllable was strong, normally on the thematic -a. Cp.
