Genera]-: Ihere are certain discrepanctes between the

vocabul-e,ry entries in the lessons of this vo}:me and the glossary entries in Append.ix B. fn the wocabulary entries examples in Newari are sometimes r.urder3.ined and' sometimes not, whereas the gJ-oesary has no und.er)-ining. In the

wocabulary errtriee classifiere are treated. as class J nor:ns with the ad.ded comnent that they are bor:nd to prefixed. nr;merals.

have noticed. by this time that the imperati form of the werb, though written rong is pronor:nced. short. fhe reaso:r for writing the imperative forms J_ong is that the J.ong sequence yaa is pronourrced approximate1y [yr. ], whereas t-he correspoad.ing short sequ.encer v&, is pronounced. either [$.] or ["]. A shortened yae.! .o*.Io.,..;-":-t;;I';; not as ['.] or ["]. The iraperatives of these forms cannot, therefore simpl-y be written lra.

1. Ca,se frames for verbs. In previoue leesorls we hawe giwen a:r introd.uction to noun morphology. i,lith the hel.p of material presented thr:s far the student shoul-d be abJ-e to construct and to j-d.entify the five major case forms of any noun given in the glossary. Hawing a.cquainted the str:.dent with the f orms, we now turn or:.r attention to the use of theee forms in sinrpJ-e sentences. It shoul-d be noted. at t.Le outset that our use of the term 'case' is different from that of 3il]-ore in that we d,o not attempt to deal- with rEore than ihe errrface forns of tlre nouns inwolved. Our decision as to wirich of a.11 th.e possible casee that cara cooceur with a given verb are included in a given A grea.t dea'I c&Be frame is at this poi-nt somevrb.at arbitra.ry. of ana.lyeis reme.ins to be done before a more consistent grarrmatica!- characterizatLon. can be made of Newari case graJlullar. Or.lr use of the notion 'ca.se frame' may be thought of as a refinement of a traditional c].assification of werbs (a:rd coneequently of elausee) as rintransitiwe, transitiwe, Eaclr of the verbs introduced ditra:sitive' and the Iike. as active vocabu1ary in thie wolume wil-1 be d.iscussed in terms of ite ca-Ee freme. the werb brr 'to givet gowerns the case frame Aeent Ob.iect Genitiwe-Ia.:&tn:, Unnarked. lle represent this in abbrewiated form as A O G]- U. Of the fou:' cases in the fra"'ne onJ-y U is obJ.igatory. A11 othere may be optionpl-3-y ornitted. The agentiwe marke the noun which refers to t}- e gr-ver. Ihis form aJ-so dete:'mines whether the verb will- be conjunct or disiunct, a:ed. thue nay be considered. the subject of the verb. If the agentive of a, simpJ-e eentence with brry is firet pereorl, Ey-y rvi3-1. be conjr:lct. If the agentiwe is non-first person in a decla.rative sj-mple sentence, blnr wi]-l be d-isjunct. The qbject marks the nor*n wLriclr. refers to the recipient. This wou-l-d. be translated a.s tlre ind.irect object in English. the eenitive with Ia:gyn, marks the noun that refere to that whicb wa6 reeeiwed. by the age:rt in return for the item given. The r:lmarked form id.entifies the item given. AO G1 !Ian, jytaa. khyca:3ra: (1a:g5rn,) jh5rrka: byl.a. He gave loe terr rupees for a dog. tr{ithin Gl-, l-a:gtm, is often omitted.
