98-99] IRREGULAR I STEMS 83also some forms following the analogy of the u declension : A. d-bhirvamfrom &-hh.im fearless and N. du. and pi. in yuv-a and yuv-as fi'omseveral stems derived with the suffix yu. Besides the numerous I.singulars m. and n., there are many alternative n. forms,in theremaining cases of the s. and N. A. pi., following the n declension :D. madhu-ne, kasipu-ne Ab.; mMhu-nas, sanu-nas ;Q. caru-nas,daru-nas, drii-nas, mddhu-nas, vd.su-nas ;L. ayu-ni, sanu-ni ;daruni;N.A. pi, darQ-ni, &c.h. There is no example of a V. s. n. from an i stem, and the only onefrom an u stem is giiggulu (AV.). This seems to indicate that theV. s. in these stems was identical with the N.c.Adjectives in u often use this stem for the f. also e. ; g. caru dear ;otherwise they form the f. in ii, as tanu m., tanu f. thin (Lat. ienu-is);or in i, as uru m., urv-i f. wide.d. There are about a dozen stems in which final i seems to be radicalin a secondary sense as representing a reduced form of roots ending ina. They are mostly m. compounds formed with -dhi ; e.g. ni-dhitreasury. There are also about eight stems formed from roots in u, allof which except dyii day are final mepabers of compounds e. ; g. raghudrvirunning sioiftly besides some twelve stems in which;u is radical ina secondary sense, as representing the shortened form of the vowel ofthree roots in u ; e.g. su-pu clarifying well (from t^xx. purify), pari-bhiisurrounding (from bhui he).The inflexion of these radical i and u stems is exactly the same asthat of the derivative i and u stems given above.Irregularities.99. 1. pati (Gk. Troo-^-y) m. Jmshancl is irregularin theD.G.L. s. :paty-e, paty--ur,i paty-au; while the I. in thissense has the normal form paty-a. When it means lord,either as a simple word or as final member of a compound,it is regular D. patay-e, brhas-patay-e, G. pate-s, prajapate-s,L. go-patau while the I. in:;this sense is formedwith na: pati-na, brhas-patina. The f. is patni (Gk.TroTVLo) toife and lady.^The anomalous ending appears to be due to the influence of theAb.G. in the names of relationship (101) in r like pitiii', G. of pitffather.g2
