v3.c19.27

(3). Pronominal adverbs of manner.—The Hindi series यों, ज्यों, त्यों, etc., and for the near demonstrative and interrogative respectively softened forms यूं and जूं, vary very little in the dialects. Marwari has ऊं, इऊं “thus,” and, together with Braj and Mewari, has the far demonstrative, which is wanting in the classical dialect, वों or वूं. Mewari adds कर and गा, as ईंकर, ईंगा “thus,” which Kellogg looks on as from Skr. इ and गम respectively, and rightly so; for even in classical H. we have क्यूंकर “how?” and in Chand and the poets करि or कइ (कै) are added to all this pronominal series at will.
