N.B. Here the governing noun is always reduplicated. Pr. bapaca bapa gela bombalata ṃhata gela. VI. Change from and unto. Ex. daridryaca srimanta hoto srimanta- ca daridri hoto. ca sometimes inflects, sometimes does not inflect, the noun assuming it. The difference of signification in these cases it will be advantageous to note. Inflecting the noun, it expresses any accidental connection or relation; as gharaca dhani Owner of the house; gharaca paika Money resulting from (the sale, rent &c. of) the house: not inflecting the noun, it expresses a closer and more intimate connection--an inherence, appertainment, dependence &c.; as gharaca dhani Master of the family; gharaca paika Family-stock or capital; gharaci mmanase Inmates of the house, the household; ṃangace mbala Bodily strength. Inflecting the noun, ca is in government, and is the postposition marking the genitive case: not inflecting the noun, ca simply serves to form the assuming noun into an adjective.
