ಪುಟ:1820 A Grammar Of The Carnataca Language.djvu/೧೭೫

CHAPTER EIGHTH. Or SYNTAX. Tur idiom of the Carnátaca language differs very considerably from that of ady European tongue; and is nearly similar to that of it's cognate dialects, the Telugu and the Tamil. In the present chapter, I shall endeavour to explain it as clearly as possible; and will, at the same time, point out such variations from the regular modes of inflection as have been sanctioned by usage, and, therefore, appear necessary to be knowo. The mode of forming the compound tenses of the verbs, shall also be shewn. Or Nouns. The nominative stands as an agent before neuter or active verbs, and as an object before passive verbs; as 8 0g ww nowo Davadatta laid down; Urmoedjara y v the king governed the country; echo jazy j3 as the country is governed by the king; G undos శుదుఃబండు when he was looking, that horse arrived; అవసుబందశినాను 6700 if he come I shall gire. Crude nouns, with the exception of those that are rendered feminine by the addition of the affix su, are frequently used for the nominative singular ; as రామబందను Rama came, ఊరి ప్రకాశిసిదను Hari shone, గురుడిదను the priest said, సన్నింద ఈమనియుశట్ట ల్పట్టిడు this house was built by me. If the nown, however, be of Sanscrit origin, and terminate in es, and the subsequent word commence with a vowel, the crude poup cannot be used in place of the regular nominative. Digitized by Google
