LESSON XVII.

COMPARATIVE AND SUPERLATIVE DEGREES OF

ADJECTIVES, &c.

1. is a termination of the comparative degree, and of the superlative. Before these the ending vowel of a word or the ending consonant, if any, with the preceding vowel, is dropped'; as लघु positive, लघीयस् comparative, लघिष्ठ superlative; ■ pos., #giga comp., &c.

These terminations are applied to adjectives of quality and not to participles and other verbal derivatives as and (menतम tioned below) are.

2. The occurring in the words qy,,, HU, CT, and परिवृढ is changed to र; as पृथु 08, प्रथीयस् comp, and प्रथिष्ठ Sup.

3. The final syllable (i. e. the last vowel with the preceding consonant) of the words स्थूल, दूर, हस्व क्षिप्र, and क्षुद्र, and

the portion वन् of युवन् are dropped, and the preceding vowel takes Guna, as स्थूल pos. स्थवीयस् comp., and स्थविष्ठ 8up.

4. The possessive terminations to be presently mentioned are dropped; as बलवत् POS., बलीयस् comp., and बलिष्ठ sup. 5. The following is a list of the irregularities:—

6. The comparative ending in should be declined in the manner shown in Lesson XXVII. First Book. Its feminine is formed by the addition of §, and of the superlative by affixing आ; as कनीयसी, कनिष्ठा.

7. तर is another comparative termination, the superlative corresponding to which is तमः These are applied not only to adjectives but to nouns, particles and other indeclinables, and verbs. In the last case they take the forms तराम् and तमाम् and also when added to indeclinables, except in those instances in which, with the terminations, the

indeclinables form adjectives. The words to which these suffixes are added undergo no change.

Ex.

E... - लघु 108. लघुतरः, लघुतम पाचकतरः, पाचकतमः; पचतितराम्, पचतितमाम्; उच्चैस्तराम्, उच्चैस्तमाम्; उच्चैस्तर adj. उच्चैस्तम: adj.

तर

8. The feminine of adjectives ending in and a is तम formed by affixing आ.

9. Derivatives signifying the 'possessor' of the thing expressed by the base are formed by affixing to substantives; as धीमत् ' talented,' from धी ' talent.':

10. The म of this termination is changed to व when the base ends in or (short or long ), or has either for its penultimate; as धनवत्, ' wealthy,' from धन ‘wealth;' विद्यावत्, यशस्वत्, भास्वत्, किंवत्, लक्ष्मीवत्.

There are a few exceptions, as यवमत्, भूमिमत्, &c.

इन्

is also

11. To substantives ending in the suffix अ added in this sense, before which the preceding is dropped ; as दण्डिन् धनिन्, &c. विन् is another termination having this sense. It is applied to some nouns.

,

12. दृश् m. n. f. and दृश m. nn. (हशी f. ) are appended to pro nouns in the sense of 'like.' The final letter of the base is dropped and आadded to it; as तादृश ' like that,' त्वादृश ' like thee.' इदम् and किम् become ई and की; as ईदृश.

13. The verbal or other forms of कॄ, भू, or sometimes अस् are added to a noun or an indeclinable to express the 'doing or being like' the thing denoted by the base.

except in

14. a. The ending अ or आ is changed to ई, the case of an indeclinable. b. The preceding dered long, and c. is changed to . d. Final or ष् of मनस्, अरुष्, चक्षुष्, चेतस्, रहस्, and रजस् are dropped :
