THE NOUN. Gender. The masculine gender in Gondi is used simply for the names of males : all other objects may be spoken of as neuter or feminine. It is difficult to decide under which name non- masculine nouns should be grouped ; if the lan- guage be viewed from the stand-point of its neighbour, Hindi, they should be called feminine, but as one of the Dravidian languages it is more natural perhaps to view them as neuter. Number. There are two numbers, singular and plural : dual does not exist in Gondi. Formation of the plural. Rules. (1) Add op k to the singular; ex., cffTc kdl, a foot, plural cRT^S kdl~k, feet. (2) Add ^*T ang to the singular, if the word ends with a long vowel, especially after double consonants ; ex., fqj pitte, a bird, plural fqjJT pit- (eng, birds; *TJT mattd, a mountain, plural *rin mattdng, mountains. (3) If the word in the singular ends with the M80107S, GONDI GRAMMAR. consonant T r after a long vowel, the T r usually becomes |r hk ; ex., fir^m; midr, a daughter, p]j^al ffl^TT^ midlik, daughters. N B. A few which end with long vowels add 3? hk in the plural, at the same time shortening the vowel ; ex., JTTITST mdyju, wife, plural TT^^ mdyjulik, wives. Exceptions to the above rules : alii, a rat, plural ^f^$ alk, rats. marri, a son, plural J^ mark, sons. sarri, a road, plural ^r^ sar~k, roads. The affix ^T^ ware, people, plural crn"% wdrerJc, people. cjj^ kalle, a thief, plural of?^^ Itallerli, thieves. uy father, plural ^TT^i, ddulk, fathers. puriy an insect, plural TT5R" purk, insects. mdmd, father-in-law, plural *rT*!T^ mdmdl, fathers-in-law. sirij a parrot, plural fff^fi sirk, parrots. Declension. Changes of the noun preparatory to forming the root for declension : (1) Some add the case- termination to the simple unaltered word ; ex., fttet pindi, flour, fif^ ITT pindi td, of flour. (2) Some drop the final letter before the case- termination ; ex., sff *rt dongur, jungle, TfncTT don- GONDI GRAMMAR,. gutd, of the jungle ; T*fa ron, a house, ^ftcf rote, in arouse. (3) Some drop the last two letters before the case-termination ; ex., XHT*T pdtdng, songs, pdtdnd, of songs ; H^rn mattdng, mountains, matt and, of mountains. Rules for Declension. (1) Nouns which form their plural in cF k or |r lik add to the root : Singular. Plural. Genitive, fftr; tor, WfSff tork, "ffac nor, rfVafr nork, rfi nd, ITTT ndny. "fit td, iff 7 ! tang.

Distinction between ^^ batti and bar an and ^TQ bdl, all meaning What ? ^ft batti is used with a noun ; ex., ^TUfte batti natal ivdtir, from what village have you come ? ^TCT bdrdn is used alone as What ? or is placed at the beginning of a sentence to make it inter- rogative; ex., ^ITi ^**U ^T ^nftrft bdrdn immd iden inddtoni, dost thou say this ? ^Tcjy bdl is an accusative case ; ex., TTc ~3RW\ bal ~keki y what wilt thou do ? "Relative Pronouns. The interrogative pronoun ^fa bor supplies the want of a relative pronoun, and the demonstrative or that of a correlative ; ex., ^^rf ^?^ lft- ^^T W^T V^T "^T^T: borun iliune kindke pannir or dlianya dndur, he shall be blessed whom he shall find so doing. N.B. The Hindi relative pronoun sft jo cor- rupted into fN Jon is also in common use. ADJECTIVES. The number of adjectives in Gondi is very small, most being supplied in a more or less cor- rupted form by Hindi. They are not affected by number case or gender; ex., 14 GONDI GRAMMAR. id bachltd pohtd dnd, this load is heavy ; *T% WT3- ^TT^W ^ir ^JTc* ^^|% erk mdrsdlork walle dhongal dndurk, these men are very tall. Hindi adjectives, when used, if ending in ^ d change the WT d into ^ft o ; ex., TCT burd, evil, becomes ^T\ buro; TFRT sund empty, ?nft suno. Participial adjectives are fairly numerous, ending almost always in ^TTc<5 dl ; ex., thr?rT c\ 1st per. tJ^T ^ft^?T "T^lftrrT nannd kid paritond, &c. Perfect Tense (H.

Imperfect Tense (H. li 1st per. *!^T cir nannd kid Idtdn, &c. and regularly through all the tenses. With the Negative f^ Mile. The perfect, imperfect, past, future, and in- definite imperfect tenses of the indicative mood, when coupled with the negative f*rir hille, are conjugated thus : GONDI GRAMMAR. 23 Singular. Plural. 1st per. 2nd pers. nannd Mile kion. immd hille kewi. 3rd per. masc. 3rd per. fern, or neut. ad Mile Mo. mammdt MlleMom. immdt Mile kewir. or Mile Mor. ork Mile Mork. ^t* fsf^T cfftwt 3RT f*T^ du Mile Mon. The context will usually determine which of the above tenses is being used, for example : ^wrr ciftcfofl 1 foF f^W F^t immd kitoni M Mile hewi, Hast thou done it or not done it. The pluperfect tense with the negative is con- jugated as follows : Singular. nannd Mile kewdke. 2nd per. ^WT f?ir ^T^ immd Mile kewdke. and so throughout the singular and plural. The only other parts of the verb affected by the addition of the negative are the second per- sons singular and plural of the imperative mood, which, with ft^ minne y do not, become ^T kemd and oFTTT kemdt or "SJffiTS Tcemdr. 24 GONDI GRAMMAR,. N.B. The present tense of this verb idndy often appears as oRft^TRTTfaT Mdltond and Mltondy cfft^TRTfatf Mdltoni, &c.
