v3.c19.29

M. may be excluded, as it has no series of this type, but merely the neuter of the adjective pronoun, as असें, जसें, तसें. All the other languages have closely allied words. B. एमन, एमत, एमने, एमते, “thus,” जेमन, etc. ; the first two are nominatives, the last two locatives. O. एमति, जेमति, locatives; also ए परि, the pronominal type, with a postposition. G. एम, जेम, where the termination has been lost, also for demonstrative आम. This series is sometimes written ज्यम, त्यम, क्यम, but जेम is the more common, as in कीर्ति यह नळ नी विस्तीर्ण जेम सूरज ना पसरे कीर्ति ॥ “The fame of Naḷa was spread abroad, as spread the rays of the sun” (Premânand in H.-D. ii. 71).
