In the same way the whole of the Hindi conjugation except a solitary tense (the so-called "aorist") has become participial with gender and number but no person, as in so many 1 Progress in Language, 1894, p. 132. B According to Ludwig's "adaptation theory," as soon as the relations of words to each other in the sentence got to be understood, "pre-existing suffixes," no doubt floating about in circumambient space, were set apart to determine them.
