But in form it is unconnected with the causative stem, being derived directly from the root; and more than one-third of the verbs which form it in the RV., and about one-fifth in the AV., have no causative stem in -aya. There are, how- ever, eight forms which are actually made from the causative stem: Sing. 1. arp-ip-am (AV.) from ar-paya-; 2. jihip-as from hã-paya-¹ 'cause to depart'; atişthip-as and 3. átişthip-at from sthā-paya- 'fasten'; ajijñip-at (TS.) from jñā- paya- 'cause to know'; Pl. 2. ájījap-ata (VS.) from japaya- 'cause to conquer' (Vji-); Sing. 2. act. bībhis-as (TS.) and mid. bībhis-athas from bhi-saya: 'frighten', anomalous causative of bhi 'fear'. a. There are besides three iş-aorists formed from the causative stem: vyathay-īs (AV.) from vyathaya- 'disturb'; ailay-it (AV.) from ilaya- ‘has quieted down'; dhvanay-it from dhvanaya- 'envelope'. 561. Nominal derivatives. a. The only present passive participle appears in the form bhaj-yá-mana- (AV. xII. 5²8). There are also a few past participles: ghar-i-ta- (AV.) 'smeared'; cod-i-tá- 'impelled'; -ves-i-ta- (AV.) 'caused to enter'. b. A few gerundives in -ayya are formed from causative stems: trayay- áyya- 'to be guarded'; panay-áyya- 'admirable'; sprhay-áyya- 'desirable’ ³. c. Ten infinitives formed with -dhyai from the causative stem are met with in the RV.: işáyadhyai, īráyadhyai, tamsayádhyai, nāśayádhyai, manda- yádhyai, mādayádhyai, risayádhyai, vartayádhyai, vājayádhyai, syandayádhyai 4. d. Four gerunds formed with tua from causative stems are met with in the AV.: arpay-i-tvá, kalpay-i-tvá, sāday-i-tvá, sramsay-i-tvá. e. Finally several ordinary nouns are derived from the causative stem with various suffixes; a few verbal nouns in -ana: árp-ana- (AV.) 'thrusting'; -bhi-s-ana- frightening'; one or two agent nouns in -tr, f. -tr-í: coday-i-tr-i- 'stimulator'; bodhay-i-tr- 'awakener'; a few adjectives in -á as second members of compounds: ati-pārayá- ‘putting across'; ni-dharayá- 'putting down'; vācam- inkhayá- 'voice-impelling'; visvam-ejaya- 'all-stimulating'; an adjective in -ālu: patay-āli- (AV.) 'flying'; five adjectives in -isnú: tapay-isni tormenting'; namay-işnu- 'bending'; patay-isnú- 'flying'; paray-isnú- 'rescuing'; maday-iṣnú- 'intoxicating'; seven adjectives in -itnú: -amay-itni- 'making ill; tanay-itnú- 'thundering'; drāvay-itni- 'speeding'; posay-itnú- 'nourishing'; mäday-itnú- 'intoxi- cating'; süday-itni- 'streaming sweetness'; stanay-itnú- m. 'thunder'; and three adjectives in -u: dharay-i- 'streaming'5; bhavay-i- 'animating'; manday-ú- 'rejoicing'. 4. The Denominative. DELBRÜCK, Verbum p. 201-209, 216-218. AVERY, Verb-Inflection 272-274.- WHITNEY, Sanskrit Grammar 1053-1068. v. NEGELEIN, Zur Sprachgeschichte 40-44. Cp. BRUGMANN, KG. 693-696. - 562. The denominative is nearly always formed from a nominal stem with the suffix -ya. The latter is normally accented; but a certain number of unmistakable denominatives, such as mantrá-ya-te 'takes counsel', have the causative accent and thus form a connecting link between the regular denomi- natives and the causatives The formation is a frequent one, more than a hundred denominative stems occurring in the RV., and in the AV. about 1 The stem hū-paya- does not itself other- | BR. and GRASSMANN to be analyzed as wise occur in V.; cp. p. 396 note ². dhāra-yú-. 2 The TS. 1v. 6. 92 has instead dhvanayit. 3 See below 579. 4 Cp. DELBRÜCK, Verbum 211; and below 585, 7. 5 WHITNEY, Roots, s. v. dhy; according to 6 There can be little doubt that the de- nominative suffix -ya is identical with that of the causative as well as that of the verbs of the fourth class; cp.
