 loses its, as in ; and sometimes its , as in.

d. From primitives in : victorious ( or  conqueror),  relating to Tváshtar,  descendant of the sun,.

e. From primitives in : usually with -strengthening of the, as relating to the Vásus,  concerning the seasons ,  child of Dānu ,  from the Indus ; — but sometimes without, as  full of sweets ,  side ( rib),  belonging to Pedú,  of the body ,  of Yádu.

f. From primitives in and, which vowels are supplanted by the added suffix:  earthly ,  of the ,  belonging to Indra and Agni ;  five-fold ,  belonging to Nírṛti,  of Pṛthuraçmi,  of Paçupáti.

g. From primitives in, which in like manner disappears: of the Yamúnā,  honey etc. ( bee),  natural child ( girl).

h. A large number (more than all the rest together) from primitives in, of which the final is replaced by the suffix: for example, with the usual shift of accent, inimical ( enemy),  of Váruṇa,  belonging to all the gods ,  handlessness ,  descendant of Vyàçva;  asinine ,  divine ,  meridional ,  grandchild ( son),  good fortune ,  of Vadhryaçvá's race; with unchanged accent (comparatively few),  vernal ( spring),  Mitrá's,  of Atithigvá's race,  Dívodāsa's. In a few instances, is replaced by the suffix: thus,.

i. The derivatives of this last form are sometimes regarded as made by internal change, without added suffix. Considering, however, that other final vowels are supplanted by this suffix, that disappears as stem-final also before various other suffixes of secondary derivation, and that no examples of derivation without suffix are quotable from primitives of any other final than, it seems far too violent to assume here a deviation from the whole course of Indo-European word-making.

j. Adjectives of this formation make their feminines in (see 332 a).

1209. The derivatives made by adding अ without -change of the initial syllable are not numerous, and are in considerable part, doubtless, of inorganic make, results of the transfer to an -declension of words of other finals.
