four in this work as in most European Grammars,
of which the First Part, called അക്ഷരലക്ഷണം or
Accidents of Letters, coincides with Orthography,
while the second, termed പദലക്ഷണം or Accidents
of Words, includes both Etymology and Syntax,
the Inflections and Formations of words, as well
as their Construction, in a sentence. In treating of
them together, the Author has the authority of
the native Tamil Grammarians who include them
in one head, called ചൊല്ലധികാരം or the Chapter of
Words. By adopting this method, he has been
enabled to avoid going over the same ground twice;
which their separation would have rendered necessary, and to reduce the size of the Book which
otherwise would have been considerably more
bulky than it is now. To this plan however an
objection has been made on the ground of its rendering the subject unintelligible. How can, it has
been asked, the use of the Cases be understood by
a person who is ignorant of the nature of the Verb
on which it depends? My answer is, that the Verb
also cannot be fully understood without knowing the
relations in which it stands to the objects of which it
is the attribute, or on which it exercises an influence.
The truth is, that the different parts of speech in
a sentence are so connected with one another that
none of them can be fully understood without a
knowledge of the rest. There is therefore as much
reason for saying that the object being in the
Accusative Case determines the Verb to be Transitive as that a Transitive Verb requires the object
to be in the Accusative: otherwise it is inconceivable how that of two Verbs of the same signification, even in the same language, should, the one be
Transitive and the other Intransitive; of which examples abound in the Learned Languages and may
be found even in English; e.g. 'To reach' and
