66 TELOOGOO GRAMMAR. No other crude Sanscrit nouns ending in 3_ or """ are ever found in Teloogoo works. It is, therefore, unnecessary to lay down any rules respecting them.

Except monosyllables, all crude Sanscrit nouns ending in the long vowels 5 or vr^ w hen adopted into Teloogoo, change these long terminations into the corresponding short vowels, * * and >

All nouns ending in long vowels, thus converted to short vowels, are considered as originally terminating in these short vowels ; and, accordingly, form the nominative singular in Teloogoo, agreeably to the rules already given for crude Sanscrit nouns ending in short ^ 9 or o respectively.
