Certain masculine nonns in *^> C-5^> form their accusative singular either by changing C&b into > or by dropping C^ altogether ; thus, Nom : T^S&DC^ Rama, Accus: l^s&oiO or l^sSixD: in the latter case, it must be observed, as an exception to rules 115 and U6,-that to such accusatives in > the drootu- prukrootica affix $ is to be added, instead of the affix ?& ; thus, ~S"S&o, one of the accusatives of Rama, and ">>> / served, make lTS&o;>?$ never "^S5bo^)K^D-5)^ I served Rama.
