Stems in -m. 338. There are only about half a dozen stems in -m which among them muster a few more than a dozen forms. All are monosyllables except a compound of nam- 'bend'. Neuters are sám- 'happiness' and perhaps dám- 'house'. A possible m. is hím- 'cold'; and there are four feminines: ksám-, gám-, and jám-, all meaning 'earth', and sam-nám- (AV.) 'favour'. Strong and weak forms are distinguished in ksám-, which lengthens the vowel in the strong cases, and syncopates it in one of the two weak cases occurring; gám- and jám- are found in weak cases only, where they syncopate the vowel. The forms occurring are the following: Sing. N. A. n. sám.- I. f. kşamá, jmá; m. him-á³. — Ab. f. kṣmás, gmás, jmás. G. f. gmás, jmás4; n. dáns. - L. f. kṣámi. Du. N. f. kṣámā, dyávā-kṣáma 'heaven and earth'. - Pl. N. f. kṣámas; sam-námas (AV.). G. n. damám. —— 1 The form dábhas in v. 19ª is regarded | by BR. and GRASSMANN as N. sing. m. 'destroyer'. LANMAN 485 thinks it may be a G. sing. f. with wrong accent. 2 Strong form. 3 This is the only form, occurring twice, from a possible stem him-, beside himéno, from himá-. It might, however, be an I. from the latter stem. Cp. 372. 4 Cp.
