a. A few derivatives in in RV. were given above (1175 a).

b. With (which is perhaps the corresponding feminine) are made a small number of words, chiefly wife-names: thus,  (these, with, are found in RV.),  maternal uncle's wife, ; and.

c. The feminines in and  from masculine stems in  have been already noticed above (1176 d). From master, husband the feminine is, both as independent word, spouse, and as final of an adjective compound: thus,  having a god for husband,  having the Indus as master. And the feminine of rough is in the older language sometimes.

d.

Besides these, a number of other adjectives, earlier and later: examples are yearly,  of the rainy season,  of all people,  of known family,  traveller ( way),  day's journey on horseback ( horse). RV. has once mine.

e. With is made  (f. -), from, with initial strengthening.

f. As to a few words in, compare 1209 c.

1224. Certain suffixes containing a म् may be similarly grouped.

a. With are made a small number of adjectives from nouns in : thus,  made by digging,  artificial, ; in other finals,, all late. In (RV.) foremost the  has perhaps the ordinal value.

b. The uses of simple in forming superlatives (474) and ordinals (487 d, e) have been already noticed, and the words thus made specified.
