assume either the termination 9 o-&> or ex> ; in the former case, they are conjugated like &S)o-t& and other regular 1#S$ verbs in "^ of the 3d conjugation ; in the latter case, like &~^?, or any other verb of the 1st con- jugation. With this general rule, it will be sufficient to shew how the Teloo- goo reot is formed from the Sanscrit root.

Sanscrit roots are adopted into Teloogoo in five different ways. 370

1st, by changing the final syllable of the Sanscrit verbal noun into ? Q-C& ; for instance, the Sanscrit root ^)<^ to protect, makes it's verbal noun in Sans- crit 23* &, thj s by changing the final syllable into 9 o-J& makes the Teloogoo root Sy^axo-^ which is conjugated precisely in the same manner as &S)o-i&.

A few other examples are subjoined. 371 Sanscrit Root. Sanscrit verbal noun. Teloogoo Root. to praise. to contemplate, to meditate. Job .............
