 20 STRUCTURE OF VERBAL STEMS.

The potential, of which only the S. 3 is traceable, resembles Pali in using the termination eyya with variant ejja.

Skr. v / 1*{ "go," S. 3. »I^|f^ Ja'ma Ttf^SH, 1l$!n[ • v 7 ^ "take," „ fl^^lr^ „ W|*Q^»J.

But there exi>t some old simple forms derived by phonetic changes from the corresponding Sanskrit tense, as kujja = kuryat, dajja = dadyat (Mueller, p. 00). The future resembles that of Pali, thus —

s. i. ^rfawrfa, 2. •^rf%, 3. 0^?;; p. 1. °^w*fr, 2. °^ft^.

It also appears with a termination ihi produced by weakening W into f and the following n to /, thus —

Skr. 7rf*nzrfiT- Jain Tlf^fffrT and TrfaffffrT-

Moreover, there is a trace of the double future like Pali dakkhissati.

Skr. v'tTf "go," with "3U, ^UT^ "attain," future "SqUTSf?}, Jaina ^3T3f5?Tffffl •

II. re "^qMrffflT? would phonetically become ^TT^£T> an d by still further softening 444^51^, whence, as if from a present, is formed the future ^«^i twft tv<{.
