tive. Those forms of speech which correspond to the English Possessive,
Relative, and Indeterminate Pronoun, are made up in a variety of ways,
which will be explained when those subjects come under consideration.

അവൻ He; അവൾ She; അത It; with their plurals.
1st. ഞാൻ I, Masculine and Feminine, is declined.

D. | ഇനിക്ക, to me, | ഞങ്ങൾക്ക, to us. |

The above form of the plural can only be used in speaking of ourselves
as distinct from some of the party spoken to, or of; or part a whole
company: thus, if three persons were together, and one of them say ഞ
ങ്ങൾ പൊകട്ടെ, Let us go: it would imply that two only were to go.
When the party spoken to, or of, are associated with us in the perform-
ance of any thing; or if one or more individuals speak about some matter
in which all persons of the same class, whether present or absent, are
concerned, the form of the plural is thus,
