12. 6-and 13 e. These two, given in the Grammar as separate particles, are, it is apprehended, but one adverb; and it is also believed that the letters have been transposed through the ignorance of copyists. Except in this point of view we are unable to attach any meaning to 。 and . By transposing the letters, however, we obtain e, equal to the Sanscrito (see Wilson's Grammar, p. 95.) longtim e;' e g. සරදසුලකලකුරු මියුරු තෙපුලෙ රදනා sce p. cxcii.

'The king hastily adorned the throne.'-Kawusilumina.

Note 9. p. 23.

The following are also amongst the Indeclinables which we omitted to translate:

1. A particle in composition equal to preme in 'supreme;' aspon

the illustrious

2. —‘away,' 'apart from;' as HÔ HQ partially apart from the water. '-Guttila.

'He did not do.'

It is also the inflexion of the verb n the third person, p'ural num

ber, and past tense, when respect is intended.

17. කිම් ' what, also written කිම: e. g කිමස ඟවෙනුවෙ C'wherefore hidest thou behind the horizon?' PerakumbaSiritha. 'what signifies?' Sidath' Sangara. This is sometimes changed into, as nec 'at what period of time?'
