(11) In the instances of wrong cases, mostly the nominative and accusative have been corrected and marked within brackets, and the rest have been rarely corrected.
(12) In cases of wrong numbers, singular for plural or dual, and *vice versa*, and false genders, masculine words treated as if they were neuter or feminine, and *vice versa*, alterations can hardly be suggested without considerably handling the text. Wherever they are found indispensable, they are marked within brackets and noticed in the Notes.
(13) Masculine or neuter forms of accusatives and pronouns used with reference to feminine nouns have been similarly noticed.
(14) Similar alterations have been made of words in *sandhi* and compounds, where the elementary rules of grammar are violated in a large number of instances without following a discoverable fixed principle.
(15) Inappropriate or incorrect verbal derivatives have been, as a rule, treated in the same way, the alterations, whenever suggested, being marked within brackets. These matters are elaborately discussed and fully illustrated in the writer's *Indian Architecture* under "The Language of the *Śilpa-śāstra*" (pages 199-214).
