 b. Examples from -stems are: possessing horses,  wealthy,  winged,  strong,  fortunate,  wielding the thunderbolt,  crested,  possessing hands,  of sixteen,  having an ass's voice,  of eminent sanctity,  having luck at play,  having errands everywhither; — from -stems,  wise,  crested,  pious.

The properly secondary character of the whole formation is shown, on the one hand, by the frequent use in the same manner of words bearing an unmistakably secondary form, as ; and, on the other hand, by the occurrence of reverted palatals (216) before the, which could only be as replaced : thus,.

1231. मिन्. With this suffix are made an extremely small number of possessive adjectives.
