The Hon*ble Mr. W. W. Rockhill's
Description of the Present Dalai Lama.
"Concerning the Dalai Lama Thub-tan Gya-tsho himself, I passed a week with him
during his residence at the Wut'ai Shan ( ^'^'l^'g in the Province of Shanei), and I saw
him repeatedly during his stay in Peking. He is a man of undoubted intelligence and
ability, of quick understanding and of force of character. He is broad-minded, possibly as a
result of his varied experiences during the last few years, and of great natural dignity. He
seemed deeply impressed with the great responsibilities of his office as Supreme Pontiff of his
faith, more so, perhaps, than those resulting from his temporal duties. He is quick tempered
and impulsive, but cheerful and kindly. At all times I found him a moat thoughtful host,
an agreeable talker and extremely courteous. He speaks rapidly and smoothly, but
in a very low voice. He is short in stature and of slight build. His complexion is rather
darker than that of the Chinese, and of a ruddier brown ; his face, which is not very broad,
is pitted with small-pox, but not deeply. It lights up most pleasantly when he smiles and
shows his teeth, which are sound and white. In repose his face is impressive, and rather
haughty and forbidding. His nose is small and slightly aquiltive, his ears large, but well set on
his head. His eyes are dark brown and rather large and with considerable obliquity, and
his eye-brows heavy and rising markedly towards the temples, giving him a very heavy
narquois and wordly expression, which is further emphasized by his moustache and the
small mouche under his lip. His hands are small and well shaped ; on his left wrist he
usually carried a rosary of " Red Sandalwood " beads with silver counters. When walking,
he movesquickly, but
hedoes not hold himself erect,
aresult
ofpassing
mostof his
life
seated' cross-legged on cushions. His usual dress is the same dark red one worn by all Lamas,
with a waist-coat of gold brocade and a square of the same material covering his Chub-lu,
(badge of the Gelug-pa Yellow-Cap Sect of Tibet), and hanging down below his waist in
front."
I received theg^'l'^sic benediction from His Holiness on June 10th, in 1882, at a religious
service held on the topmost floor of Potala (see my description of it in page 17 Appendix VI.)

Mr. Rockhill, in his letter to me, dated American Embassy, Constantinople, the 15th
March 1912, wrote as follows:
My dear friend, * * * I see that the Dalai Lama has left Darjeeling for Lhasa. I hope
he only acted on good advice and that he will not regret the step he has taken. He is rather opinionated
and I can well imagine that he was getting very restless at the prolonged exile. As my relations with
him have always been most agreeable and cordial I am very heartily his well-wisher. It may be that
under the new regimi in China he will be able to secure for his country the autonomous Government all
Tibetans wait for. I hope he may.
It will give me much pleasure to send you my photograph as soon as I can get one for you. Send me
also yours. I have not seen you since 1885. What a long time !
Always sincerely yours,
W. W. IIOCKHILL.
The Dalai Lama is seated on a chair. On his right-behind and left stand my friends
Lon-chen Gung-thang-pa and Lon-chen Shol-khang-pa. The former, his Lama Minister wrote,
at my request, the |«j-q^ or §"ai^§'5J^e^^c«'''^q (Appendix VII) and the latter perhaps, the

Preface.
Thk first Grammar of the Tibetan language, in English, written by Alexander Csama de
was published under the patronage of the Govern iient and the auspices of the
Society of Bangal, in ISS-t. The scholarship which that Hungarian Traveller
in it, has not, in my humble opinion, been surpassed by any subsequent student
Tibetan. In this Introduction to the Grammar of the Tibetan Language, I have
his work, supplementing it here and tliere with materials drawn from
the exhaustive comvntntary on Thon-mi Sam Bhota's iSum-chu-pa and
During ray second sojourn, in Tibet, in 18S1 and 1882, I found a manuscript copy of
at Taslii-lhunpo, in the library of Sengchen Lama, Prime Minister of the
Lama \^Tsang Panchen Rinpo-che) Tanpai Wang-chug.
I got it copied for ray use. In 18')4, its importance to studerits of Tibetan Literature
explained by me to Sir Alfred Croft, then Director of Public Instruction in Bengal. He
the sanCbion of the Government of Bengal to publish it at State expense. The
of the work was, however, indefinitely delayed for the want of a second copy to
the text. It was only, in 1911, that I could secure a block-print copy of Situ-Suji-Tao
Ekai Kawaguchi,, the well-known Japanese Tibetan Scholar and Traveller. That good
Monk has very kindly revised the book in proof which I was unable to do
to weak sight and the smallness of the type used in printing it.
Alexander Csoma, in the preface of Ijis Grammar, wrote as follows :
" Tibet being considered as the headquarters of Buddhism in the present age, these
works ( Tibetan Grammar and Dictionary ) may serve as keys to unlock tbe
volumes, (faithful translations of the Sanskrit text) which are still to be found in
country, on the manners, customs, opinions, knowledge, ignorance, superstition, hopes,
fears of the great part of Asia, especially India, in former ages."
What he hoped his two works would do, eighty years ago, has, in the meintime, been
fulfilled. Following his. footsteps, in the field of Tibetan literature, I have collected
few barley corns which, in the form of this compendious compilation, I present to the
public. It may help the reader in his endeavour to study the literature of Tibet.

Orthography being the most difficult part of the Tibetan language, access to it from
any side, is as difficult as entrance to the country itself, owing to the stupendous snowy
barriers which encompass it.
Patiently crossing these when a traveller has entered the snow-girt tableland of Tibet,
he will love to sojourn in it, because it is the most difficult, yet delightful country to travel,
on the face of the earth.
The sportsman-traveller chases on its lofty plateau the finest games—the dong
(wild-yak), the kyanfj (wild-assj, the ovispolis ^'!)5^, the ovis amnon, and ibex, &c , animals
that are unknown in any other part of the globe.
In like manner, the student who has entered the field of Tibetan literature will find in
it new matters for study.
This compilation, it is hoped, will be useful to students going up for the
Matriculation and the Bachelor of Arts Examinations of the Calcutta University, as also to
Government Officers, who choose to pass High Proficiency and Honours Examinations in
Tibetan.
The necessary texts for these examinations are given in it.
The Compilation Comprises :
Introduction to the Grammar of the Tibetan Language.

HI
Author's Introduction
TO .
Situ Sum-tag.
Reverence to Cakya Simha, who is adored by all perfected Bo'/hi'sattvas including the unerring
Manju gbosa and others, and whose very memory removes all fears from the minds of all
despondent sinners.
In accordance with the prophecy of our Teacher, in the Manju Cri rafila Tuntra, there reigned at
Lha-ldan (Lhasa) in Central Tibet, a succesion of Lharnia lidjds sprung from the Li-tsa-bya
race.* Among them, the most illustrious was Mihiiha {Naradeva), surnamed Sron-btsan egam-po the
wise and just king. Among his many eminent ministers, Thu-mi SamBhcta % was distinguished
for his literary aptitude and attainments. In obedience to the command of his Kint^, impelled by the
earnest prayers (of a former life) for acquiring i/orf//?' (spiritual enlightenmont) he proceeded to ^r^a «?efa
(India). There he studied the Arts, both of the Braliraans and the Buddhists, under Pandita Deva-vid
Simha (in Tibetan, Lha-rigpahi Senge), the Brahman Lipikara (in Tibetan Libyin i.e., Lqn-datta
and other eminent teachers.
On his return to Tibet, he resided in the castle of Maru near Lhasa where ho shaped the Tibetan,
character after the model of the Nagari. * He wrote eight grammatical works, out of which, Sum-rtaga
only is extant to tliis day. This work comprises two books namely, bum-chu-pa and Etugs-kyi hjug-pa
which treat of the orthography and orthoepy of the Tibetan language.
The Sum-chu-pa is embodied in thirty verses and forms the basis of Tibetan grammar. Hence
its name, in Sanskrit, is Vya-karona muln trimsat nama, in Tibetan : Lun gton-pa rtsa-wa Sum-chu-pa.
After reverentially bowing to Buddha, the most rare One, the author Thu-mi SamBhota begins his
work with salutation to Manju ghosa, the lord of speech.
Who this Manju ghosa was the commentator explains with a quotation fiora the work Mtshan
yan-dag-par bijyod-pa "The master of speech is tha Jnawa kaya (ye-9as gku) of Buddha. That jnana.
kaya is self-exi&tent. Mai5ju ghosa is, therefore, a Jndtwsatti-a (Ytrces-semg-dpah). He is rot to be understood
as being an ordinary hodnisattm who has attained to the ten stages {Dai;a Bliu-mi) of Bodhisatita
spiritual perfection.
He exists in the heart of all the lidhdgtttna i.e., represents the spiritual wisdom of iJl the Buddhas.
Thu-mi then makes salutation to Sudd^.tva, the God Mahecvara of the Bialmrris, saying that he
it was who first taught the Arte to them.

Tho above poiuts to Thu-mi SamBhota's having had his education in the TJnivorsity of Mithila
gcrya-gar lho-phyog§ (India in tho southern direction from Lhasa) and that under Brahmariieal professors.
It is a remarkable coincidence thatat Ibis period the famous Chinese pilgrim-traveller Tuan-chuang should
have been studying Sanskrit in the Buddhist University of Nalanda in Magadha having travelled to India
by the northern route under the auspices of Emperor Taitsung, King Sron-btsan's father-in-law. Had
Thu-mi SamBhota bam a student of Sanskrit at Nalanda at the time, he oould hardly have escaped
the notice of so keen an observer as the Chinese traveller.
So grateful was the earliest Tibetan student of Sanskrit that he did not forgetto reverence
his teacher and professors in the beginning of his grammar. Ha thus commences his work:—Having
made profound salutations to those most skilful in orthography etc., and also to my Guru and hold-
ing that letters are the basis of speech, of all learning * and teachings, f and "Iso of words and ex-
pressions, I should explain the method of their construction by the combination and collocation (of letters) §.
SUM-CHU-PA.
Letters are A-li and Kd-li. A-li includes the four vowels : u, i, e and o, which are based
onB<i
a. The thirty letters of the alphabet ending in ^ a are all comprised in Kd-li. These aio
arranged into seven and half groups called s:le(Varga), each group consisting of four letters. They
are all consonants. These are again divided into three classes: rjts-hjug, snon-hjug and miii-gshi
letters. The" ten letters % '^, S, \ '=>, ^, '^, ^, '^, ^ are rjes hjn'j; out of these ''I, S, ''.. ", "^ are called
$non-hjiig. The remaining twenty letters of the alphabet ''ip-j-ae^'5 ?qiC^«'J'3j'i^'3U4-<j'^i?i| are called
tnin-g:shi. These, in any sort of combination of two, three or four letters among themselves or with the
four vowels never form a word, though individually they often are words themselves.
L3tter3 are combined together to form words when no inter-syllabic point or stop 2<i| (•) occurs
between them. The word '=11 is a combination of the two letters, °i and "1; "^"l^ is a combination
of the three letters '^, "1. and'^i
=^=1=-^ is a combination of the four letters '^, i, ^ and «i. But
•with the twenty nm-gshi letters such combinations in two, three or four, with or without the vowels,
no words in the Tibetan language can be formed; for instance, ''15, pa?, et]^, ^^a, oi^'i, l-^jsq^ &o., are no words
at all, the Tibetan tongue being not capable of pronouncing such combinations.

Tag-jug-pa.
The letters of tlie alphabet are distinguished, in consideration of the nature of their
sounds, by assigning to thcra five genders, namely : ^5 masculine, sj'^c neuter, ?J feminine,
^aj'^'?! very feminine and ?I''^-'^5| sub-feminine or barren.
The four vowels called ig'^'q^/, n, e, o are considered as being feminine in their nature,
and the thirty letters of the alphabet called 15'^ are conventionally regarded as masculine
for their combination with the vowels. It may be remembered that the thirty letters have
been arranged in seven and half ^ series. The first letters of the first four series such as
T|j^, % and ^ are classed as "^ masculine ; the four second letters of the same series such as
p, *, ^ and si are classed as ^'^s: neuter ; the four third letters of the four series such as ^^ E^ '^
and ^ are classed as ^ feminine ; and the last four letters of the same four series such as ^,^,^
and ^ aie classed as -^^i'^^'Si very feminine. Out of the fourteen letters of the remaining three
and half series ^ being akin to 5 is taken asl^-i being like * is classed as sj'^c and ^ being
like E is taken as ?J feminine. The letter '^ being similar in sound to R is also classed with it
as ?I feminine. The six letters ^^3^0,^'^^J=] and ^ are classed as feminine. Otthe remaining
four letters ^ QJ ^ are regarded as 5j'^-«]5} sub-feminine and i?? is said to p )SSoss no gender,
it being the basis of both ^'"^ and "5'^ letters.
'J'his distinction ia gender ia said to have aiisen owing to the percsptible difference in
the tone or accent of the letters such as hard, soft or low, &o., which is due to the place of
their origin. Those that are sounded hard or stro igly i.e. with some es.ertionf ^^'?^'^^'®'£l) are
classed as 5 masculine, those that are sounded moderately (^^''^) are classed as sj'^c ueu'er.
Letters that are soun led low or with some ease (|z'3s^'^c'q'a,5j''^!;i are classed as ?J feminine.

Gender in the five g3j''a>^^ mxTERa.
There is also conventional distinction, in gender, among the five g3i'Q,=|ti| 'prefixes
1J, \ Q, 5j and Q,. The letter q (which as a Stc'q]^ letter is % feminine} should be regarded
as j5 masculine when used as a prefix. The letters ^ and ^ (which as Slc':j|^ letters were
classed as S^ feminine) should be regarded as xj'^c neuter when used as jore/^ares. The letter
o, is ?I feminine and 5) is •^^j'^'Xj very feminine. This distinction of sex in the five gsj'o.^'l)
^prefix letters is not due to the high, strong or low tone or accentuation in the letters them-
selves but simply for the purpose of I heir combination with the Sc'ji|^ letters for forming
words and for determining their sounds.

Hints on the use of certain Diaceitical Marks or Stops called -^^^ ,Cad)
The full-stop (.) is represented by two vertical lines (||) called |«J'-»=j^ or double-stops.
The single stop ( 1
) called l^t]'-^"^ generally represents the comma. The -f]^ is broad on
the top and pointed at the foot resembling a pia, and as such it is used in the block-prints
of Tibet.
In prose-writings the double vertical line-mark |^'-*j'^ is generally used at the end of a
sentence or passage.
* J=.'i or 5^'^S^ a letter in its simple form or when it is joined with any of the four vowel signs,

The single line-mark ^^'-'^'^ alao called ^^'-^'^ is used at the end of an expression or
prose line which has not concluded but is continuing.
Tibetan grammarians consider it necessary to putl^'-^'^^ (double-stops) at the end of
each lino (-fjCq or foot) in a verse. It is, however, usual to divide the '^^'^'^ into two
separate ones, putting one immediately at the end of the first foot and the other at the
beginning of the succeeding foot.
The^''I'-^l'S
is also used at the end of au address or vocative expression, either in prose
or poetry.
The conclusion or termination of a section or chapter is marked by four vertical line-
marks or 2q^'-*)«^ When a sentence or expression terminates in a word ending in '^ or c, it is
necessary to put a ^^Tj inter-syllabic point (') to the left of the -^^ in a line with its top.
The use of the inter-syllabic point (') before i?, i^ and a.5) is optional for the purpose of
metrical convenience, in poetry. It is generally not used.

Some Hints to Readers.
It is necessary to give here some hints on the method of writing dates, which is
peculiar to Tibet, as without a knowledge of it, the reader will find some difficulty in
reading Tibetan correspondence and historical works.
There are two methods of reckoning time in Tibet, namely, the cycle of twelve years,
called ^'Q,p5K'ci§''^^^ Lo-khor c/;Mm and the cycle of sixty years called ^'^f^'v^'^l'^ Lo-khor
dug-chu;
the former is generally used in estimating the age of kiclividuals, the latter in
calculating the dates of all important events.
The years of the cycle . of twelve years, are named after the names of the following
animals: |,'q mouse, gjc ox, ^^ tiger, ^^, hare, Q>g«ii dragon, |oi serpent, ft horse, ^^ sheep,
ape, g, bird, g dog and Ji)^ hog. They are counted in the following order :

These Tibetan names correspond to the Chinese names of the twelve animals and are said
to have been first introduced in Tibet by Queen Wenohang, daughter of Emperor T'aitsung,
who was married to King Mihi Lha surnamed Srong-tsan Gampo, in about 635 A. D. About
a century later, the system of astrology then prevalent in China, which contained a
cycle of sixty years, was introduced in Tibet. At a later period, in about 1026 A. D., with
the introduction of Kdla Chakra Tantras, the Indian Cycle of sixty years called the Vrihaspati
Chakra was brought to Tibet from S'ridhanya Kataka ^^'^^aJ'^3j'qg5^'^c5^ Sanchi Topes ?),
situated on the River Krisaa near modern Amraoti, in Southern India
This cycle had a distinct name for each year of the series, but the Chinese cycle was
made up by combining the names of the five elements, * namely : wood -^c, fire 5)^ earth
«4^ iron %^^^ water § with those of the cycle of twelve years. These are made ten by
affixing the signs of masculine and feminine genders i.e., ^ aud ?I to the elements.
The names of the years of the Indian Cycle of 60 years, in Tibetan, are as follows:

^•2^ ^'^J differentiates it from the Indian cycle as Tibetauized. In this, the ten elements
(5 males and 5 females) coupled with the twelve animals of the smaller cycle, occur six
times; thus making up the number 60 of the cycle.
The Tibetans, in calculating dates, use either the Indian or the Chinese cycle ; when
using the Indian cycle they some times mention the individual name of the year, (in
Sanskrit or in translation) but often omit it.
In page 1, Appendix I, the date of the document is mentioned in the last line which
runs thus : i^5)'£|^'«)'^'f ^!l]'|'S«)'!;i^'q^ letter dated on an auspicious day of the month in the

Deducting 192 from 1914, the present year, the year 1722 A.D. is obtained (see Appendix V).

of the year water-hor&e The Diary commenced in the month of April (the 3rd month of the

It will appear from Appendix V, where the Sanskrit names of the years of the Indian
cycle are given that the first year is called Prahhava, in Tibetan, ^q'|c^pronounced
Rab-joong). 'J'his was the year, according to the Buddhists of Tibet, when the Buddha
was bt>rn at Kapilavastu. From this name the Indian cycle is designated Rabjoong, in
Tibet. The present year 1914 called Ananda, in Sanskrit and ^^'^'^ [tvood-Hger) in Tibetan,
is the 48th year of the loth cycle ^q'^cq^'g, reckoning the beginning of the first cycle
from the year 1026 A.D., when it was introduced in Tibet by one Chilu-Pandita. The 15th
cycle. will terminate in the year 1926 and the sixteenth cycle ^^'|i^''^§'^''l will commence in
the year 1927.
The Tibetans divide the year into lunar months calling them |'C)''^c'2f first month,

year begins in February. There is no particular name for each month.
In page 193, of his Grammar, Alexander Csoma has the following passage:
" The Kdla chakra doctrine of Adi Buddha was delivered by S'akya, in his 80th
year, at S'ridhanya Kataka upon the request of Chandra Bhadra, a king of S'ambhala who
in his 99th year visited S'akya there. Upon his return home, he compiled the Mula Tantra,
in accordance with what he had heard from S'akya, and two years afterwards he died.
This work is the source of all the subsequent voluminous compilations, increased modifica-
tions and interpolations. In the Mula Tantra, S'akya foretells to Chandra Bhadra 25 kings,
who will reign at S'ambhala, each for 100 years. The six first of them are called Dharma
Rajds and the others are styled EuUka. He foretells also that after 600 years from that
date Kulika Kirti (Ya9okIrti or the Ephiphanes of the Greeks ?) will succeed to the throne of
S'ambhala, and that 800 years afterwards the Mleccha or Muhamadan religion will rise at
Makha (Mecca)."

He conjectured that S'ambhala must have been the capital of a kingdom ihat flourished
in the early centuries of Christ and that S'ridhdnya Kataica was the Cuttak of modern Orissa.
The last of tlic kings of S'ambhala is, however, njt mentioned in the 3Ju!a Tantra. It is
stated that a king named Samudra Vijaya arrived at S'ambhala in 618 A.D., and shortly
after that the period called, in tlio Tibetan chronology, ^'pi'|'5^^(Me-kha-rgya-Mtsho*,
commenced. It is also stated that in 622 A.D., at Makha (Mecca) the Muhamadan religion
was established. From what can be gathered from Tibetan histories and works on Kdla
Chakrait may be conjectured that this S'ambhala, very probably, was the capital of the Bactrian
Emjiire of the Eastern Greeks who had embraced Buddhism. It is also conjectured that
the modern city of Balkh must have been the site of their latest capital. The name of King
Menander {in Sans. Minendra) whq erected a very lofty chaiti/a has been mentioned by
the Kashmirian poet Ksomendra, in^ha Avaddna Kalpalatd, a work that was finished iu about
1035 A.D.
Referring to SamudraVijaya, Alexander Csoma in afoot note remarked : "This pretended
King's arrival at S'ambhala in 622 A.D., has soma coincidence with Yczifjird, the Persian
King's taking refuge in tlie same country; for it is affirmed, that this prince, upon the fall of
Seleucia, and the conquestot Persia
bytho Arabs, in G86, retired to Tjans-Oxiana or
FeiKhana".'ts*
Sjjmholic nam s for certain numerals.
As regards the explanation of the period Sj'^jj^ri'^j? (Me kha-rgya-Mtsho), it is hardly
possible to arrive at it, without a knowledge of the Indian method of expressing numerals in
eymbollcal names or terms. These are called 5j:5i'q5, (numerical signs}, for instance: the word
(s^f;'2.. Sans. Ounya voidity or sky is expressed by a zero (0).
o]^ (Sans, hara), thehand
is
a
symbol for 2; so are {Netra or chaUu) 63-03, Palest (the white and the dark lunations in the
month), because there are two hands in man ; two eyes in all animals, two wings in birds
and two lunations, white and dark, in a month. In the same manner, the ^"5J or numeral,
Cone) is symbolically expressed by the terms Qirlra, (in Tibetan ^|=i]51) body, chandraf^'^)
tho moon, Oanddra q?l'^the rhinoceros, becauso all animals possess only one hoslt/, there is
only one moon, and the rhinoceros has only one horn.

be added to G32, the first year of the Ilcjira, the year 1025 A.D., is obtained. With

Tantras and the Vrih ispati cycle were brought from Kashmir by an Indian Buddhist named
^''^'^jB'^'^ Tsi-lu Pdndita. At this time the Maiiayaua Buddhism greatly flourished in that
country. Tho Avadana Kalpalata gives abundant testimony on that point. A list of ^J-^J'qf
terms taken from Alex. Csoma's Grammar, is here attached. They may help the reader ia

Method of transUterntion of Tibetan into English.
In Tibetan writings the intersjllttblc point () X^iq^'^ii is continuously used between every two
syllables, as also, between every two wor'is in an expression or sentence. Take for instance, the first
eenteuce in Appendix I : %^M ^^^ji^qi^gs)^-juq-rjjilc^^Ji-^N'qi.t^qE.-qg^-^c^-l
Here the words are: f'^*',^"S, ^d "^S*)^, g^ =i, :a^i,
'^^sj'n^-q^^ :^qi,-qgv'^ik|
In transliterating the above sentence, a hypuen will represent theintersyllabic point (') which will be used
to divide every two or tlireo syllables in a word thus: «,q'^35^^ rab-hbyams; g^l Vgy.il-wa; "J^i 3 kun-gyi;'^^V
m^'^i^ hphrin-lag-par ;'\''=-'''3*^'^^ d van-bskur-shin With a view to eiuible tue reader to distinguish one word
from another the passage will be transliterated thus : Phyogg-dna-rab-hbyains-rgyal-wa-kun-gyi-hphrin-lag-
par dwan-bskur-shin instead of as Phyogs-dus-rab-hbams-rgyal-wa-kuu-gyi-hphrm-laa-par-dwan-b^kur-shin.

c or ch (as an equivalent of ^} represents the sound of ch in much, such, touch.
(J represents the Ndgari letter s or its Tibetan equivalent ^.
g will always represent the sound of g in the words go, give, get, but not that of g in
gem, gentle, germ.
\i represents the sound of k in hour, honest, honour and the letter '^.

On the use of honoeific xERiia and espeessions.
In the Tibetan language, both written and colloquial, there are two methods of expres-
sion. The first is called ^'5<^'^^ and the second s^^j'^s^ the common or vulgar language.
Three words, namely, g signifying the person or body, g,^ hand and Bfm foot are generally
used before nouns and verbs to add a degree of politeness or respectability to them. When
so used, these words lose their literal signification and acquire a quite different sense. Of the
three words,g, ^|^^, ^''1 all signifying the bod^, the first i.e. | is honorific. The second
and third i.e. '^'^'^^ and ^^ can be made honorific by prefixing to them the word g, thus :
l-jl-Hi^'I'sj^^j-q-q^!!!! g5j'2j^'|'qj3:i]^'5jg5j'q'Q,^!il| ^2j'2j ^'I'^^'SJ^^'ij'q^tll|
signify the
King's person is handsome.c:^'Ji||qi5j'li'Si^§<
I
c^'i^«j'?l'^f5jI
my body is not handsome.
One, when speaking of one's own self, should not use an honorific word like ^ or g'^riisri?!
or 1'^^I
Of the two words g^ and ^l^ signifying the hand, g^ is hcnoriUc. 55|'2J ^'|^'2j':i|S)^'i!fi^|
there is gold in the King's hand, c^'QJ:I]'aJ'q]?^IL5l'^| there is no gold in my hand. |'i^q^'Qj'|!ii'
^c^Qj'D'^^sflI
your honour has no silver (money.) c'aj'5|Caj'tfj^ I have money. The word ^st]
is used as an honorific, with verbs as follows :
g'si'g^'SqI
Lama come. s^ffai'sj^^'Qi'^zij'Q^lQj'i^]Reverence be to the Eon-chog (Supreme
One.)
Of the two words (^^51 and ^c signifying the foot ^^^ is honorific. g5i'2J^'(^q5j'Q('^5j'aj^
there are shoes on the King's feet, c^'^cq'oj'^sj'jl'aj there are no shoes in my
feet.
The words ^^^ signifying foot and ^c, near are equivalents of Mr. or Esquire, in
English. With the honorific term | prefixed to them they, i.e. |'i^q^ and |'^c
signify your honour or your worship, ^'/^q^ is pronounced as Kiisho, in conver-
sation, '^^q^j'^c literally near the feet) is a title of dignity in Tibet. WithRinpo-che attached to it, it froms the exalted title, assumed by the grand
Lama of Bhutan. f^q«4'^c-^ci'2j'^'cqi'i^qr<^5j'|Qj was the title which the first
Bhutan Dharma Raja had assumed, on ascending the hierarchical throne of
Bhutan, f^^^'^c is evidently, an equivalent of \^\^^ signifying an attendant.
S'ariputtra and Maudgalyayana were the personal attendants of the Budha.
Hence the importance of the position of being near the Jeet ^^^'^ or that of
the words /^ci^ and ^c'|

INTRODUCTION
TO THE
GEAMMAR
OF THE TIBETAN LANGUAGE.
The Alphabet of the Tibetan Language comprises thirt}' simple letters :
rf]p£l|Cf 5c6E^| 5^^3i|ka klia ga iia. ca cha ja na. (a tha da na.
^ t^ ^ 3\\ t> i> i q^\ o, ^ (\ ^\pa pha ba ma. tsa tsha dsa wa. ska za ha ya.
3; 01 ^ ?}I
^ (?jI*
ra la fn sn. ha a.
To these may be added the four vowels i, u, e, 0, formed by fixing the vowel signs
-\ s, ^ %r over the head and to the foot of the last letter ^\
§^ ^ ^ ^ \fi u e 0.
These thirtyfour letters are divided into consonants ^^'I'l'S thirty in number, and
vowels '^^ which according to some Tibetan grammarians are only four.
The thirtieth letter ^ which is inherent in all the twentynine consonants and forms
the basis ^'=^'|*^ + of the four vowels ^,'11,^,^, is not considered as a distinct vowel
which could be joined with the twentynine consonants for forming a syllable or word because
it already exists in them. Without ^, it is said, the consonants would be %^'^'\ srog-med i.e.,
lifeless
•These thirty letters are called ^^ ("1 joined with the Sanskrit word bmSJggf% si^nifviog ''|k.'i series
becomes \^' *m\^) kali meaning the series of letters commencing with'^ ka~ 'n'!|-^'j)5qcj5'»gi;qiIw|'^-3-^a|
tThese four letters based on ^ (whon put together with ^) form what are called %'^ dli ^f% i.e., the
w series or vowels— wnil(ii]5iq5iR^!;q''^gc^a)u|)
^According to the grammatical works called fliNqq5*)-i3=.| and:;q|-
Jsj K,q ujisirji the vowels are five in
number viz, B^G^i^'S^iS though the vowel signs are four

The thirty simple letters called '^m'^^ gsal-byed, are arranged in series called ^ sde,
which are seven and half in number.* The first series called T^ commences with t] ka,
and comprises Tj'P'^C'i The second series begins with « ca,
and is called«"|
ca-sde:—^'^'^'^\and so on; 5'^:—^"^'"S'^il
ci-^:_q-si-q-«I ^"1 -—^-i-^-^l ^'^ ;_ (^-a-q-aj] x-^ ._vqj-^-5<
|
The last two letters yw called Y\ constitute but half a series.
The four vowels i, u, e ando in uniting with the consonants lose the basic portion of their
respective regular forms, for instance,^l when joined with ^ becomes ^ ki the basic part
of the letter ^1 i.e., W being eliminated in the union. In the same manner, '^ with '^
becomes 'Q ku, with w) it becomes ^ ke and with w it becomes ^ ko.
Compounds formed by joining the initial consonants with the four vowels 2, u,
e, are called ^"^iJ^J'^Sj hdogs-can.
The vowel signs representing i, u, e, o that are fixed to the thirty ^^"I'l^ or their
compounds are called Gt-gu'^^ Shabs-kgu^, EgreMu "", Naro *^.
T] joined with *^ Gi-gu becomes ^| i] joined with Shabs-kyu becomes ^|
'H » »> ^ Sgreii-hu, „ ^\ T] „ „ ^ Na-ro „ ^ffl
In this connection Tibetan Grammarians observe that in forming compounds of consonants with
the vowels the rules of Sandhi, as obtain in Sanskrit, are not applicable to Tibetan, where the vowel signs
only represent the force of phonetic deflection of the letter ^ a f
tWhy w is classed with the consonants ?:- <i3=-«'^=-'^'^«"'«^'^^'^='A''\'^'^1*"''IV'n'^^'*"'«|«"^''^^^V

Of the sixteen compounds with 'y'|^ only nine, namely t],f',
"ni ^, i, ("|, ^ '^ and ^
are in general use in Tibetan. In these the initial and the subjoined letters are
both sounded.
The '«'|*N ^4) is obscurely sounded in s, ^ , «5 and *|^
II
Letteks are classified under four denominations, namely :
1.^^''^ Min-gshi* initial letters which generally form the roots of words.
2. f^'^ rhyan-pat These comprise the initial letters, hdogs-can and the compounds
formed with the Ij'S''^'^^^ signs representing:- % S'^j'^j^'i'') ^ Wj which are subjoined to them.
3. si^'^^ fpgo-can :—Letters which are surmounted by \°i,^ i^,^,s).
4. C^'SJ'^aj Ephul-can% The initial letter in a word (either simple or compound) is
so called when it has any of the five letters ''1,'S,^,^,'^ fixed before it for forming a word.
Ji^'jX Surmounted letters.
The letters \^,^ are fixed on the heads of certain simple and compound letters. They
are then called nigo-can surmounted letters or I'^'l^j=i]^5) r!a ss-ffsum, the triplepiled up
letters. The compounds so formed are called ^^'^^'''ISs^l
The superscribed letter which is seldom pronounced, will be represented by a line underneath it.

The twelve basic consonants with ^ over their heads :
rka rga rHa rHa rta (da rna fba rma ptsa rdsa rla.
These retain their respective sounds in the combination with the exception of 1
which then turns like the English g (hard) and also of cj which then sounds as b. In the
words t^t. and i5j'|3j the »; over the heads of E and i\ are sounded.
The ten basic consonants with the letter "I surmounting them:— ''1, \ ^, E,«, 5,^ cj^
q^ ^|
Ika Iga lHa Icu Ija Itu Ida Ipa Iba Iha.
The surmounting letter ^i la, is silent except in the word ^ signifying a god.
In the last compound i.e., in ^ Iha both the letters are pronounced. The letters
1] Ej «;|, q with the surmounting "I are sounded harder than in their simple state.
The letter 5J is fixed on the top of eleven 5='=J letters :— \ % c,^, 5, \ aj, q, q, X), ^
|
In the compounds so formed the surmounting letter ^ is not pronounced.

Combination of letters to form words.
Out of the thirty letters called 3c'«i|^ mifi-gshi, inasmuch as they individuUy form
the basis of a syllable or word, the ten % =, S, ^j, «J, «, «., "^j "^j ^I
are called l^''^^"]
affixes or closing letters, from their being affixed to the basis of a word or syllable.
Out of these ten final letters the two, ^ and 5f are called ^ic'R^i;] secondary affixes.
Again, out of the ten |5I'q,^!J| affixes the five letters""I, \ ^, ^, '^ are used as
g3i'«-^«»I
prefixes; so called from their being put before the basis of a syllable for forming a word.

The twenty remaining I15jaf'|«;| consonants—
% p, ^ ^ ^ % ^> % ^.''. ^ ^» ^^ ^> ^ ^' "^' "^' ^' ^'
called 5l'Si^til"5lc-q]^| mi-hjug miH-^^hi. These never occur a? final letters in words or
any vowel. No compounds or combinations of these letters are made for forming words
the Tibetan language. The ten consonants \ c, \ Sj, q,xj, R, \ QJ, ?<, are
only letters that close any syllable, or follow the vowel, whether inherent or expressed.
combinations like ^'Ti',c§s|[q','«3«l, form no words in Tibetan. These twenty
stand as initials in a syllable or word.
Some of the twenty S)''^^''] flc'l]^ letters are words in themselves:— ^1 ka, pillar
kha^ mouth or snow; * aha, part, fraction, or a pair; E ;a, tea; ^ fin, fish; ^ pa, the
expressing ownership; ^ pha, father; ^ tsa, time ^'^ from the time ; ^ Uha, hot, fever
an earthen vessel for cooking or for heating; % iva fox; ^ sha lead; 3 sa food, or to eat;
ya, an equal or match, above, up; -^^ fa, flesh, meat; ^ ha, breath, yonder. These letters
the basis Q.^^''^^ to which the g^j'-a^^^i] and |«4''5,^«il letters are prefixed and affixed.
The use of the ten letters % c,«^, 3j, q, x}, o., x^^ ai^ ^^ called t^^-V^ closing letters
be illustrated thus : in the word 0J='l the letter 't is a l^l'Q-^^|
Here the letters °i and''I
joined so as to form a syllable in consequence of which there is no ^'^ (') intersyllabic
between them. By this combination '^ has lost its inherent ^ a. Accordingly, the word
is pronounced lag and not la-ga ; in the same manner, in the words '^^' g<^^, ^*S nad,
Hin, ai!J lab, 015) lam, ^^ mar, \^ ral, °i^ las, the letters c, \ ^, Q, «», ^, «/, ^, are
|^'^^=i].
In the syllables c^, ^^, q^l the letter 5J is not strictly a l^''^^''] closing letter though
is fixed after 1^'^'Q.^i]'^ for forming a grammatical termination and closes a word or
yllable.
In some words the letters ^ and ^ are affixed to the l^''^.^'') letters such as s^q] when
are called «JC-a|,q] In the words '^'^^ andl"^*^
the letters ''1
and*^
are l^'^l^^ but «^ and ««,
are '^^'^-^^l Here ^ and ^ have lost the W that was inherent in them, in consequence
of their union with 51 and ^ which are seldom pronounced.
The combinations '^M, ^^, ^^^ 5)5< are infact double affixes. (l''2.^^'*^c'airQ,|,!?]) sj^ :^«;^
ai^ also occur as double affixes in older orthography, but though the use of ^ (called '^''^ ) is
the more correct form for designing the past tense yet in modern Tibetan this practice is
seldom resorted to.
The g^'"^!"!, I*'''^!"!. and <«ici*|ii letters where silent will be represented by underlined italics.

The tendency of the Tibetan language being towards monosyllabic pronunciation
the l^"^*"] and «Jc:'Q,^q] letters * are either softly pronounced or not sounded at all.''Iand ^
in the expression g^'^^ sound softly. Sometimes they are silent as ins^^,
^^, °i^, '^^, ^^,
^54, ^^j ^§<I
yet in their phouetical silence they slightly deflect tlie vowels that precede
them; ^^ nad is pronounced as neh, ^^ nug as nui, %^ lug as lui, 3f«l cZ/o?, as choi,
^^fi's,
is pronounced as sheh, ^^ dad is pronounced as deh, and •*]^ g/id is pronounced as
»fuh and so on.
This peculiarity is more marked in the colloqual of Lhasa, i. e. Central Tibet, thin in
that of Western ^I'ibet. In the following illustrations of the ten single affixes and four
double affixes the letters that are not prououned are underlined.
tn in aj^ wag (meaning black), in 5jtI]5^ nags meaning forest,
c in ^c raii (meaning self), in ^c^j raHs meaning entire.
S in Sf^ na4, ^'S »"'^' "^"S J"'^- ^^ V ^< ^"^ ^"^ and so on, is never pronounced,
though it slightly deflects the preceding vowel,
s in m k»n, K^ don, %^ rin, °i^ Ian, ^3j kn and so on, is fully pronounced.
a in gq thub, ?^ ^hob, ^q rab, ^q nb, '^^ leb and so on, is pronounced.
XI in ^^ gam, c5) nnm, ^^i dam, ^^ /am, ^^ ts„m etc., is fully pronounced.
«, in S^T^ dki'h, q^^^ bknh, is pronounced as the silent h in English.
'^ in XJ^ mar, 'S'^dar, q^ bar, ^^ sar, ^ gur, ^^ nor is pronounced.
qinq^ bal, ^OJ ^ih ^^J P'i, -^^ ?'^^. ^"^ y'^ ^ ^^ ^""^^^^ pronounced.
51 in m las, %^ ris, %^ im, ^^ hs, ^^ gos etc, is never pronounced.
though it slightly changes the preceding vowel.
In all double affixes the terminating letter «) ia silent—
qi^inq^5< pags, <=i^^lags, ^"^^ iegs, ^^^ chugs, ^^^dogs etc.
C*I in ^^^ sa,n, ^^^ hons, ^^^ raiis, '^^^ dans ^C^ Us, etc.
q^jingq^ ihabs, ^q^ chibs, -^q^J cubs, ^^'^ ''/<ebs, ^q^ hobs, etc.
JJ^ in nm thams, \mrms, -^SI.N gums, ^^^ sems, ^sm som? ' etc.
According to older orthography, q^F both the letters in the three double
affixes 3)=^, '^'S''^% a*"® pronounced.
* Regarding the pronunciation of these letters, Alex. Gsoma de Koros remarks :-
"They should always be sounded accordingly, since the Tihetau Grammarians say, that these letters
are affixed expressly to render the words sonorous and significant."
He, however, added :
••Some of the affixes are only obscurely heard; some are left entirely silent (as the 5^ in '^^, 'ii,
tj«, «»'), and some change the preceding vowel."

(In this language) though words sound alike, in expressing there is distinction in the meanings
conveyed by them; therefore, correctness in spelling is essential. The orthoepy of this peculiar language
of monosyllabic origin is of little help to its orthography. In the above quotation there are two
words of similar sound, namely : f (sgra) meaning sound, and "^^ {hdra), meaning like or similar.
Both are pronounced as "da". In their spelling they are so different, one is sgra and the other
is hdra\ The author then proceeds on thus: ^ui=.-i)^5i5^qi»)q l-^iji1

The Tibetan, though it abounds in monosyllabic words, is in faut a dissrllabic language.*
formation of the second syllable in a word of two syllable? is governed by the final letter
the precoding syllable, i.e., the first syllable which in itself is a word. The second syllable
generally an additive or deflective particle called ^ig=^ which often modifies the moaning of the
jmrt of the word.
These additive particles chiefly indicate the different parts of speech. They are generally used
the formation of cases and in the' declension of verbs and pronouns.
The first part of a dissyllabic word or ^^^ is the root-word. It is called ^^'^] The word itself is
^"I, *)c or ^^'^"l when it is grammatically formed. The second part of it called g=\ or '^^S independ-

monosyllabic '^"I to form a complete word is called ^'S'g | Either of the syllables in a dissyllabio word or

In the expression =^5'2^^5=.*1•'J||ai•q•1l^c•( Give alms to the indigent, and helpless. The use of the

In the expression '?'S'^'!I^'J| illuminates or brightens in or with light, the gs particle ^ signifies

the term signifying state of that or "that itself".

In tikis manner the g'^ (particles) 9,^,5,^,5,^ and ''i all go under the name of '^'gl and are used

The particle § is used after "I,'' and '\'?,il i.e., when a word closes with the letter "I or =i or \^% such

Ekduplication of tkhminal lettkrs.
When the closing consonant of a monosyllabic word (noun, pronoun or adjective), is reduplicated and the
two letteis are separatud by a ^^I Ouiid the vowel o ( ) isplaied on the duplicate letter, the second
syllable so formed is c.dled ^"^"g I''? or r")^ '^"11* It does the function of the verb to be. For instance:
^^T^ lam, '^^|i=^'^ this is medieiue; ^''^^I'S'i that is road or way; '^*i'^ is the meaning or sense
^^^, lie is; nat'2'is good ;^^'^ is bad ;
'5>3j'J^ is (rue.
Words closing wiih the vowels a, i, u, e and o being supposed to be isj^'ijai i.e., those that have gr^t
the letter '^ after thorn, expressed or understood, do not undergo the process of reduplication of the final *
letter. Tlie vowel o is only put on its head;
for example : <^, i am ; ^^^ this is ;g"^, who is
;^'^, that is ;
f^^ he is ; ^'^ is precept or command, *)^'^ is the end or limit.
In dissyllabic words when the second syllable consists of a single letter with tlie vowel termination
(simple or '=^'^«Il*^^«i) the letter '< with the vowel o (^) is joined to it. The '^ also then acts as the verb to be.
For example, "^^V^is true;q^^ is happiness
; ^'^^'S'^ that ia worm ; '^^S^'^'?! lajS^ this is Raksinsa or
/I'fl/cs.fs? ;^'^5'^ is long, QT- distant, 5=.'^'^ is short. If the sec( nd syllable, in a word of two syllables, be
formed of two or three letters the closing consonant in it is re luplicated as with mouosyllabio words.
^?)«*)-55ii^ that is animal; ^^'^^^ is significant, or is with meaning.
When words ending in '^,'^,'^ close with ^ according to i^ |=.( old orthography) the gs, particle
T should usjd : as in ''^^^iS'?', '^§«>'S ?. il54ii=;,-^, This practice is now seldom followed.*
The reduplication of the closing letter in a verb indicates that it is in the indicative m^od present,
future or perfect tense. '^'^S'^ wishes, ^'J' 3 got or has got; '^%^'^ Doco.ne, ^^'X has brcume; '^*^'=S
1 seek or wish.

Article.
There are three definite articles and three indefinite articles in the Tibetan language,
^^ ^^ ^
are definite articles signifying "the".?q|, ^q|, ^qj
signifying a, an, any,some, certain
(indeterminate) are indefinite articles. These are attached to words as ^'qg'S additive particles.
The letter 1]signifying "the" is used after words ending in %«\, '',«'; for instance ^I'll, the six;
the spring; W^ the evening; '^^'i\ the two.
fn is used after ^,^ ''; as in fVP the autumn ; "^S^'P the summer; ^'^'P the country.
«l[ is used after =•,»<; and '^ (expressed or understood) or after any vowel ; as in l^-'") the grove;
the three; ^'"1 the grassy plain or green; ''l^'i! the estate.
The indefiuite article ?q| is attached to words ending in "I. '^j "^ ; and also after the inherent ^
'S*!'^"^"! a war; -^'S"! a vessel; i^i'?"! anight. ^"I is different from "l?''! signifying "one".
^q] is used with words ending in c.,^, *t, a.^ \ q. thus: ^^^°^'^ a house; <^\'^'^ an answer; "l*)'^"! a road;
some, or any body ;'^'%'^ a man
;wf^'^il a castle ;
'q^'^'q a camp ; f]")'^'!! a crystal ;Saj-^qj a price,
^^ is attached to words closing with '^ thus: ^fsj-^tii a "robe or garment; '^^^«i| a body.
'I in ^=-'^, =. in 'S'^, ^ in %<^'^, ^ in ^\ "in T", *i in 5« or ^'w ^^fsj-q-j) or '^W'"*' and 35 in «-a,
S or SV^ are '^''I'gs additive particles; they are not to be taken as Articles. The word ^s.'l is
corrupt form of the Sanskrit siinha signifying "lion". « « is the Tibetan for Sanskrit MdlrikS.
in ^''^is a particle of emphasis like "the"' in the expression 'he is the man for such a work'. It is equivalent
Sanskrit hi.
sit or Sc'S^i] Noun,
Substantive nouns are generally monosyllabic words though they may be formed of one or
letters ; for instance, P mouth, e tea, ? fish, '» father, f* mother, i cow, «) fox, ^ goat
a high mountain, ^ flesh, *< earth, etc., § water, 5 horse, * salt, <^ a hat or cap, ^ a horn
male, 9 son, ^ female, ^ man, 3 life, ^ curds, ^ kiss, ^ hill, ^ corpse, taste ; a> bell-metal, ^
»^il eve, ^^ sky, '^*< way, T?« discourse, e.^ speech, ^'i meaning, ^««i mind, ^«i heart, ^'^ tree or
; a song.
Nouns formed with ^''igS i. "•, additive particles are as follows: i"!'^ hand, f\'^'^ foot, 'Ij'q skin
P^^'^J house; pf^cell; »<^"9 thumb; |'g child or young one; P'^snow; T^pillar, ^'^I'^i king,
sun, ^"q^i drop, ^T" hog, a^^^ ox, 3c-9 donkey, ^^i^i minister. In the foregoing words the
5, ". 5, q, 3 5 do' not act the part of an Article. They u.ake the full word of a monosyllabic
In composition, they are sometimes omitted. The expressionf^'^^ is same as 5^ q ting
g^'5 minister; f^c'siij is same as *|5.''J foot and o«T^ hand; '^'^^'^'^^ is same as "ST^'S white and
black.
When attached to some monosyllabio terms they' Hg^ sometimes make difference in the meaning.

The word ^ signifies "self" but joined with the particle 5 i.e.,^'3 signifies "nature." *\C means
"and" but S^'^ signifies "first." ^'f means "wool," Qaici signifies a Nepalese.
Adjective nouns are also formed with ^g^ attached to the adjective monosyllabic terms, such as
ustEj the good, c,^'i the wicked or the evil one. The expression iwc^ signifies good and bad and also
the good and the bad.
The use of ^"I^S additive particles with some nouns causes distinction in their slgnificatioa as to size, &o.
In the following examples the use of 3 and ^ is thus illustrated :— ^ is man; *^'S a great man
(either in stature or position); ^'i a little man or dwarf. ^ fish, V^ great fish, y% little fish.
*] antelope, -*i'3 big antelope, -^^ small antelope; i. drum, £'3 large drum, i.'% drumlet; ^•\'^
arrow, *i'\'^'5 large and long arrow, *>^'% small arrow; ^ stone, ^i huge stone, boulder or rock,
s,'^ small boulder or pebble; f earthen vessel or pot, f^ large earthen pot or vessel, e'% small
earthen pot or vessel.
In the above examples, the substantives (sX*''^) such as ^, ?, *) etc., when unaccompanied by
^"1 3S express the ordinary meaning, man, fish, antelope etc*. When joined with ^ they convey a mag-
nifying sense; with % they become diminutives.
In the following examples the use of the '^"I'^S additive particles % and 5 with some nouns expresses
"the young one"t but nothing diminutive :5'^=, camel, i'% young camel
; 5 horse or pony, f'i colt;
>] antelope, ^''^ young antelope, (']'% meaning small size antelope); i cow, ^'% calf; *i goat, ^4
kid; B dog, U'^ V^V, '^'^ sbeep, ^"l^ lamb.
Plural Numbeb 5ic'2si||
The ^"I gs (additive particles) *, ^*<«', S"}, ^ are used as plural terminations. They are attached
to nouns and pronouns in the singular number to express plurality. ^ is seldom attached to nouns.
Its use is confined to pronouns. S*") is attached to both nouns and pronouus. ^*<'' is seldom attached
to pronouns. Though there is no dual in the Tibetan language, yet the Sanskrit duals have been
generally rendered by the termination S"! in Tibetan. = is the personal pronoun signifying I
=-'^ signifies "we". It is not usual to express the meaning "we" by the word ^-'^^i*'I
^'=' means "he" ; f^"^'^ signifies "they". 5s or ^S means "you" or "thou"; SS'-*"! or S'^* signifies
*'you". ^ signifies "that"; ^'^ or ^''\''I signifies "those".
«>isman; S'^*)*' signifies "men". ^»)^-5^ animal; ^w-5^'3;»»5i animals. 5^, SJ, "f, **«'^'S'l,^««'''»«\,
«^E,«j^ ^qjN, ^'>\^ are but words signifying many, all, collection, etc. They are never used as plural
terminations in the manner the additive particles ^, ^*'*', S"] and ^l are used. The two words
^'Wi signify "all men". The expression ^'S^ '^^ "^3 comprising of four words signifies "many hills
and many valleys". If it was divided into two parts ^'"S^ and ^^-'^^i ^''^'3, would mean nine hills and
^^^5 nine valleys, ^'^st'^ signifying "hills" is only one word; the expression ^'^^t^iiS comprising of the
two words, ^ and ^*<*''«'\ signifies "all hills".

l^'Sj^'j^i^i or ^^^ Gender.
!J»i^^ is masculine gender; ^'*>^ feminine gender, and »<^^'»)'> signifies the neuter or no gender.
5 signifies male, ^ female. Monosyllabic nouns in the masculine gender generally take the ^"I'^S
particles),*' and 55 as feminine terminations; such as, 9 son or boy, ^'^ daughter or girl; dog,
bitch ;^*) son, 5i^'35 daughter ; 'a fox, V^ vixen
; f1 tiger, fl't^ tigress; % god, ^ S5 goddess ; J younger
^'^ younger sister; ^ goat, ^'^ she-goat ;wp'^5 one moving in the sky, sp'^'*?'*' female angel.
The feminine of some monosyllabic nouns is expressed by difierent words : such as, *^ man, 9'\*''>
; "^g yak-cow, "l""! yak-bull of Tibet ; it is incorrect to say *'fll"i«i| ; «iti"iii (father-yak) i.e., yak that is
for breeding purpose. 5 is horse, f? stallion, ^'\ « mare ; it is incorrect to say 5'? or 5'5?; the use of "?
or after 5 being redundant. 31=- signifies a bull, so it is incorret to say "5 g^ or SJ^*? I"^ signifies cow
;
it is incorrect to say *i'35i To dissyllabic words i or 5 is added to signify the masculine; such as ^i^i^l^'^
Yogi) and « or 35 indicates the feminine, such as ^v%K» [Yogim).
In dissyllabic nouns the ^igS (additive particles) ", 3 or i, 3 are used as masculine terminations. These
changed into ** and 35 for feminine terminations, such as, l^*)'5 host, "ll*)'35 hostess; fTi hog, '""I'
35 sow,
;^^-'i trader, ^c,*) female seller; '5^'^i monk, ^C^* nun ; «^£)cS ever-lord, S^^'^ lady
;J'^i'S king, 5''i'3*
; S^-" guard, g^'*) female guard ; «i53iq chief, «\9^ 35 chief's wife or lady-chief; "l^^'5 lord, ''I<f'35 lady;
a Tibetan (male), ^^^ a Tibetan woman ;'^^'^'^ hero, «iw35 heroine; ^'s* signifying one above (in Sans.
is used in both the genders; so also 'f^'**, a superior; ^ and 35 are sometimes used as female terminations
as such are attached to dissyllabic nouns, such as, SS^*''^^ he with (good) voice, Sgtsjj^sj she with good
(Svara-svati), '\^'^^ ordained monk (Sans.) B/ti!iSu),['^^'^^'f* ordained nun, (Bhiksuni);g^'^^ elephant,
she-elephaut, iJ^gf^'^S*' he, the victorious one ;q?*)g;^'^'^«i*i she, the victorious one.
Nouns having no gender also terminate with the ^"I'gs additive particles ", 5, 3 ,»i and 35, such as
^^^\^nn^ ?q|!S-3, Sii^jg all signifying drop; ^^'^,I"**, door or gate; fll*i^q or'^w*.*', new or novel
or ^"1*, additional or remnant.
Some words with *< or 35, termination are used in both neuter and feminine genders : V-'^, inner also
inner one i.e., wife. |*i the outer or the later one; '^«I»i, the lower or subodinate. f^'35 banquet, show.
Some adjective nouns ending in *< are used only in the feminine gender; such as, ^^.s, wife, ^Sn »i,
(Sans. Sundarl), handsome woman ; things inanimate (except lakes, rivers and mountains) are
in the neuter gender. They terminate irregularly and also in ", 5 ; «, 35 ; such as ^^'f a bridge, ^''If rope
the accomplished (one;
)i*i« printed (thiug) ;
'"I?*."*' oblation; |^'35 the (Indian) i?Mj9ee;|t« (Sans.
alms, begging.

I'^'^'l'^ or |'g^'9^'^^'55=^ Adjective.
(Sane. Vijesana).
Adjectives resemble nouns in their formation. It is from their meaning or context that they can be
distinguished from each other. The Adjectives, generally follow singular nouns and precede the verbs in
an expression or sentence : *l'=-^ or «)'t^£j bad man ; here taj, or M" is an Adjective qualifying the noun »>
man. sf'Q^'^' or sp=)3=.'3 (Sans. Sttmati) good heart ; here sf is heart, '^^ or iac,Hj signifies good. The
particles =< and 5 in the words ^^'J and tucQ are not Articles. The sentence " snow is white" will be
rendered in Tibetan: P'i'S''I*.S'")^ (snow white is). In some words which are, mostly, translations of
Sanskrit terms. Adjectives precede nouns, for instance : S^l^f"!*' (Cukla pak$a) the white lunation i.e., the
period after the new-moon to the full-moon; ^iT^"!'' {Krisna Paksa) the dark lunation i.e., the period after
the full-moon to the new-moon ; Si*'''' dry-land ; "l^s^'ps. holy or pure house or sanctuary; "I^^'P^, prison-
house ; when an Adjective is so placed it indicates relation rather than the qualification of the substantive it
precedes: "l^^T^ is same as «i|?^cj5f!cci the house of prisoners or of imprisonment ; "l^tpt is same as
«i]ic'£i5-pc'q the house of purity; 5|^«'«' is same as Sfsf'J^w the land of dryness; ^1'^''1*^ is same as ^''i'55-|'ii*i
the side or period of darkness; S''!*''^''!*' is same as «;''pcj5fii?i the side or period of light.
Some Adjectives, though derived from adjective roots are also used as substantives; fi" former or prior
may mean the former or the prior; I" latter, posterior, outer ; for example :
'^|isi|«;,g»j'^*j«4 the former
commentators ; '^5'»ii'^'^'*<'^*'*' the later commentators ; here g'" and |*< are Adjectives qualifying ''J^ilS
commentators, g'*''^*!'^ and ^'*''^*'^ would mean the former and the later ones. ^=-'*< inner or interior;
the inner one; '^"l'" inferior, subordinate ; the inferior or subordinate; ^^'^ or g'»< upper or superior, senior
or junior, the senior or the junior.
When Adjectives are placed before substantives they are invariable in both singular and pluarl numbers.
Though an Adjective follows.the noun (in the singular number) which it qualifies, yet in the plural it precedes
the plural sign. ») is singular, *^'^*i«^,'^''i"! or *>»
is plural. ^'^^^-'S signifies good man, sJ'qscq-^stsi or
»t-Qsfci"«;jiI or 5)'«i»c"q'" signifies good men.
In declining the espressions »^£)3fHi and s)'ei3=,'q'^»)*i the case-signs such as °-, |, %^, %, % §«) &c., are
attached to the Adjectives in the case of singular nouns and to the plural signs only in the case of plural
nouns : »>'C3=.'Ei5 of good man, 5)£!3cq'^»i?i| of good men ; also »)ii3c,i^ij]-5| or 5)qaE,q-^5 of good men.
When numerals are used to qualify nouns, |they follow them in both singular and plural numbers ;
S'fljg*!, (man three) three men ;*^
^«'l'''!fs« (men three) three men, this latter being more correct.

There are some adjective ^"I'^'S, (additive particles) such as «^ and |f^ sigaifying possessed of, full of.
resemble, in their use, the Eaglish particles or signs suoh as ed, ful, eom, ous, //, which are attached
monosyllabic nouns : "l^'*'*^ [Sgnis. Himavata) Buowivd or snowy; 'S'^^'^^ powerful;^^'^^ wealthy; ^^'«^

The words is's, *i=.'^, '5=^ siguifying with, possessing or having are also placed after substantives to
them in the manner of «^ and ?J^, suoh as: "l^^i'qs'^ (Sans. Sdkela) with habitations; ^^Nstc^ same as
possessing riches ; W'^S (Sans. Qrdvasti) having listners. f
gisj and "*«( signifying less, or without, are Adjectives of negatiou, for example: ^^g^ meaningless, g'^g''
; »<9=^"i»i limitless or boundless; l^'C"'*! (Sans. Vmana) immeasurable, (a name for the sky).
inconceivable. +
^^ and *)'^ signifying less, not or not having,!are formed of the Adverbs of n-^gation »i anl *> with the
°S^ and "^S :*i'"^^ is *)^; *^'^'^ is »>S- They are used as Adjectives and correspond in their use to
il, im, ill, ir, and un, with the difference that they are affixed to nouns instead of being prefixed to them
in Eaglish: M'**^ unmeaning or without meaning; ^^'*'S is the opposite of ^T^S (meaningful) and
meaningless ; '^^'*''^ immortal or deathless; '^1^'*>'S unchangeable or changeless; ^^''^^ unfit or
C^*)^ immodest or characterless.
qas'n Comparison.
The ^"igs (additive particles) "^^i, "^^ or "^^ signifying t/tan or more;'than is put after the name of the
or pronoun or thing to which comparlsou is made: 'i^iT'^^'S'^'^ thou art greater than myself
he is better than I ;"^^iJi*!'^*!? that is higher than this.
The word ^^ attached to an Adjective expresses the superlative degree. It is equivalent to (Sins, tama)
the superlative degree: 1^=^^ good, i^l^'Jf^ best; ""l9 fine, ""l'^^ finest; ^^ small, ^'^'^^

The words "l^l, "f^*' and "m^ when used as qualifying adjectives of nouns, of numerals or of any
high number like «2- f'^i H or «^3*< and as such are placed before them, lose the g^ "I"! prefix letter "1. The
« of the word "1^1 is also changed into *.
Thus it is usual to write ^"I'iS to signify binglo line-mark or stop (I) ; '^'^''IS double stops (|l) ; ^"l'^^
{^oo),'^N£Jj (^oo), J}»<£ig (?oo), ?ii'«i^ once or one time ;'^*^''2i^ twice or two times; iig»<'«i^ thrice or three
times; Sfljf:; (1000), '^^t'^ (2000), ^'»-^'^ (3000), also »i*<-§ (30), g«§-?i-iis<ii (31), ^i^f-J-li'ii^ (32) »i« «« A,3
(39).
No change, however, takes place in them when they follow any noun or which they may qualify, thus
'52i''q^1means 100 ; =if ''f^'^, 200 ; Qf'iigs^ 300
;f'^-'^^il 1000
;^^^)^ 2000
;f=.il?}»< 3000. When the word^t
signifying with is introduced between two numbers it becomes equivalent to plus : ''IS''1'^e.'''1o1] is equivalent
to 1 + 1 and expresses the sum of two; 'l?T^=''il'^^=l + 2=3, ti|«i=.''1?'q= 100 + 1 = 101, f'i'^=.'a5 1100,.
l-^'^ng 10,100.
Numeral adjectives are formed by attaching to such words the "^"{'^S (additive particles) «, Q, «:
il?<i]ti signifies single or singly, "I'^Nci, both or the two ; "I^^'S the three, Q!^'q^'*< signifies (the book of)
three chapters; ^i^'S'^J signifies (the book of) thirty verses or Oloka or simply " of thirty."
'JJ'^'f'^''' (Asia snhnsrika) the book of eight thousand verses. The word f=- whea used as a numeral
signifies one thousand, hut its ordiuary meaning, whether it is used with or without 'i is empty or void, hence
fc'i when used alone does not siguify one thousaudeth. The word ordinarily signifies chair, and
as a numeral means ten thousand. The word g"i one in the chair, i.e., chairman or president is
therefore, seldom used as an Ordinal.
3'q Vekb,
Sans. Kriyd.
A Tibetan verb is always a dissyllable word consisting of a monosyllabic veibal root and an additive
particle i or ^. lu its simple form which is invariably participle present, it is a verbal noun. Take for
instance, the words, S'=i, ^igq; signifying doing; ^S^, ^^S'^ action or acting ; "^W a, R^S'^''^ going. In these
S) ^% ^\ "^^ or '^M'^ are verbal roots or root-verbs. In verbs the roots are only affected by the
addition of the T^''!''! i"!, \ =1, '», ^) and the "'=.'i|''I [S, '^) letters in the formation of certain tenses and moods.
A verbal root with the auxiliary 3 attached to it is generally put in the infinitive mool. The infinitive present
conveys the idea of futurity, hence 3 is attached also to the verbal roots, in the future tense.
gq or =i§ q hon. as a verbal noun signifies action, deed ; as a verb (participle present) signifies
doing. 3=1^, iig-q^ conveys the meaning " to do."

la the expression Ist^g^-Slc. (the) tree to cut (or to be cat) '55'^'3 is in the infinitive prcsant. It is called
«i*i'Sg the term for work, because cutting is the work conveyed by is'^'SI
Tibetan verbs are generally expressed in three tenses: the present tense called S''^''^, past or preterite
called i^Si^'y and future called W'^s.q. Tibetan Grammarians inulule tlie completive or perfect tense in the
past tense. There is mention of two moods in Tibetan grammars : the indicative and the hortative or imperative.
In the sentence ^=.•*^p^|^1I^V''^S''^^''5'^'''^'3^I ^'^P^ is the agent CS"!), '^'^''^'S and 'isv^'S'' are
verbs. ''I5'>'^^'S will cut, (or must or should out), is iu the future tense. ^is'S'y^ g,») signifying done cutting or
is out, is in the preterite or past tense.
In the sentence ^=.*)p3i§^'f^*!-^2i-ill?';,-c( (by carpenter with axe tree (is) cut, ^=.'»<p^ carpenter is the
principal agent or doer (l\y'3'''i?'5] ; f^ axe ia the minor or secondary agent or doer (IV'^'*'^") ; both
%5ifi3i and f^ are agents. They are, therefore, put in the ^gentive case by the use of the secondary particle
or case-signs 3^ af^er %'^p3i and ^sj after f^ I According to Tibetan Grammarians ^^tree which is acted upon
by both (the) carpenter and (the) axe is the objeot called l^'i I'^t^^ is the verb (in the indicative present)
signifying cut. %'*'P^|*''?'^^'%'n'i?=,'i sbouU be translate 1 iu English thus : {the) carpenter onts tree
{or wood) with [an) axe.
In the passage »)'T3|*)'ill''l*)''2C^'q eye with body to seeing. Here *t«n is l^'''^'''''''' the secondary agent,
(the person seeing being the principal agent ^''^) |^ sign of the Instrumental case, "ll"!'^ is the ohject
(11^^) ;(^j is the sign of the Acousative case
;^"^ seeing or to sea is the verb. 2ti]?[*;ii|ii^i2C|i'q should be
translated as seeing body tcith {the) eyea. In the above two passages "I^^'^ and ^''5 being verbs are called
°i^"|g
terms of action or work,i.e.
cutting and seeing, i.e.=i|''
action indicated by them.
The verb (,3'=') when the action (''3'=i or "i^) is being done (IS'^'^I''') is put in the present tense (=^f'i)
;
when the action has been done (§^ '^V) it is in the preterite or past tense C^S^'i) ; when the action, it is
inderstood, will be done l'^'^§'^ it is in the future tense (*^'^=-=ij.
The roots of the verbs like "^5 in '^W =>, l=^ in lv^, V\ iu gT^J, ^ in f'=1 &c , are always in the Indicative
present.
When in the root-verb the terminating letter is reduplicated and the vowel o is put on the duplicate
letter, the verb so formed is also put in the Indicative present, for example : |=^'^ (he) does, '^%^ (he) goes,
"^^T^ (he) is or sits, ^V^ (there) is, 5)3^-1^ (it) is, g^ (he) speaks. The verb to be when expressed in
the above manner i.e., as =i,5i^'5|£) (reduplication of the final latter in a noun, pronoun, adjective or verb, and
the vowel being fixed on the duplicate letter), is always p'lt in the Indicative mood, present tense: *)'?
(he) is man, '^^gT^ this is sheep, ='5; I am, ^i^'H'^f I am, d^i; cTig good, =-*i'^ is bad. ^^"^ it is, &e. The
words §=^ or §^'i, i^^ or 'C^^^, '^\'^ or «I5T'J, §=- and %% ^^, %^,'^^ or ^^ may be also attached to the
root verb in the Indicative present, for example: ls in '^?§^ or in '^5'''^§'^ signifying moves or does
moving; ^S^M"^ does, S\S\'^^% l=^§^^=^, is doiug; af q'^sj-q goes^ i<%-'i\^or "^^'^^ is going or moving.

*) is generally afBxed to the veibal root in the Indicative, present terse for forming the preterite or past
tense. The word il»i=- signifying say or tell is in the Indicative present ; "l^j^w is in the preterite or past tense.
In some verbal roots the prefix i^is dropt ia the past tenso : '^g=-, pres. §=., pret. °'%\ pres, 5=^, pret, "^3^,
pres. 1^ pret.
The perfect tense is formed by adding tlie auxiliaries -^,', §^, "5^, *'^, §=, '^%''\, ^=- to the verbal
roots in the preterite ; '^Xs spdke is ju't-L ^"Ks'"^^ has spoken is in the perf. FS speak, is in the 2)res. It would be
incorrect to write Is'^^ I The verbal roat "^fl meaning deprive or snatch away is in the^res.; ^"1*1 pret.
^fll^q-l^ has snatched away, perf. It is incorrect to write "g"!' -^.
In the formation of the preterite and perfect tenses, in some verbs, the g^'^11 (prefix letter) ^ is put
at the beginning of the root and in most cases tlie t*'''*^''! letter *) is affixed at the end : ^"^ngq*) gained or
acquired wealth ;l^^ogq*)!^')' has acquired wealth or ^i,ti|q^£)^g,?^c) wealth has been acquired.
^•q^«*? meditated on god ; ^nl;'*^*)'!^,') or £i^«*)g*jci has meditated on god ; ^^Isjsjiqgt*! preserved

the devil, q^\qt»)'SJiq has subdued the devil ; X*jqf^ expounded religion, S^jqf^q^ g«) has explained religion.
Verbal roots that are bas-ed on the ten s^^^'il^ letters P, "1, *, E, s, S, ", ^, *, ^ are preceded by tho I'^'^EI
ju>v^'«: '^ in tlie Indicative present, for example: ''g^'i carrying; "•^^''J constructing or directing; ^^'^
telling or explaining; RI^Ii putting; "^S^-'^i drinking; '^^c.q spreading; '(^"l'^ depriving or taking
away by force; '^9'Ji'fl giving or offering; "^S'si'y sewing; '^^^'^ holding. The changes that occur in
such verbal roots in tlie formation of the several tenses and moods are illustrated in the following ten

Certain root-verbs are used both in oonTersation and writing to express a degree of politeness in address
to inferiors, equals, or superiors. Being the various forms of the verb to be i.e., ^^ and ^'\;
they
generally signify am, art, is, are; there is, tliore are &c., and are as follows :
a<~^m ^ms^n^m^ s^i^j oin]*!, at^a. ««^, }^^, R^m, •!\^'n, ^'^, q^^'ti
| when used with the negatives * and *> they
stand thus: «)«i' (for «'")^), »''\ (for sJi^S) »>''^^% *'''='91«^, *<'*<^*',*'''^'l*^ , »)»i=.s *''l'^'^-
'^'^'*^^,
These root-verbs have no variation in inflection in the several tenses, and also in respect of person and
number.
They are invariable in tlio Indicative present, after every person of both numbers.
The use of these root-verbe is illustrated as follows :
g-fcSsi g-Si^ Lama is great ;^^*v'"^^'^ it is so, it is like that; g'^'^"! who is there? S"^^"! what is
there? ^'^*»''^^'^
how muchis there; »<=.' 3' s.^"! there are many; gqHjqic-ai £:i|«ii*i where is the

iig'iwwt?!'^ there are about one hundred; e,'^'jui'^''l*i'«J«il5^ ?i I am of the royal race; J^^''^'^'\'
*t'»(=-'^ there is no disease in him; ".^'g^'Jiii's (it is) like this ;^icN-jN-ni-ajai^^'siS'JI*)^^-?, Buddha

reading; | '^'^I'^'g'^^^'' when your lionour is speaking.
Conjugation.
The conjugation of Tibetan verbs is simply a participial variation.
All the tenses of the verbal roots cr of verbs, in general, may be formed and conjugated by the aid
of the root-verbs "5 3^ and '^'^ or their equivalents : "^^il, ^Q"!^, »j^n, oi-jj*?, s^'^^'t, sj«;, 13=;, r^ui, uiaj^^ ^c.^ i^^'i;
as also by that of the two auxiliary verbs ls and ig'v.

Paeticipial Espeessions.
Present and future. "I'^'^k when becoming, changing.
Past. §^'5, ^^'^^, §*''^*' or i'^'si having become.
The verb *^*\" (when used as a respectful term for BS'^) has only one variation : in the Imperative and
Hortative it is "^"^I
The verb ''IS", honorific also for §">" is used by a person speaking for himself, or of others, before a
superior.
Indicative Present. 1%'^ he does, Fret. l|«i he did. Future. 5| shall or will do.
Imperaf. |*i do. Hortative. 3^'^'^ pray do.
Paeticiples.
Among verbs the participles form the roots of the Indicative present, past and future tenses ; as g,g*i,
gSI
As'nouns they may all be used substantively, such asg'=i speaking
orspeech
;
g'^'^ spoken, a spoken
thing; g'i a thing to be said or spoken of.
The participles terminating in " or =1 according to their final letter in the roots, take the genitive forni
(£i3, q5) when used before a noun : «I«J|«^y working, doing work; -si^Jl^y^*) a working man; «e."3'g'ti or
«=.'g«] much talking; *if5'§£i^s) a man that talks much.
When, in the participle present, the 'i or =' termination is dropped, and 1"^ or *f^^, or §'^*f^ is attached
to it, it becomes a noun signifying an actor or agent, an instrument or organ; as g |=^I | *JP^ I I'ls^il^ ( a
speaker ; ^^'%S, that does beat, the beater ; »)?t|S or «?=.'*4p^ that does seeing or makes one see, the eye.
The following participial terminations ?=., %'^ ^=. I I, % %'^,^\ %^, ^% 31, ^1, "^^i ( f , % f put after the
root of the present participle, correspond to the English termination inj : ^^g'^^ so saying, thus saying;
^^'^^S'lit being so; S'l^^'^^"! (he) is reading; s'§'*>g, (he) does not speak when eating.
The participle future terminates in S or S'l (taken absolutely, or after a substantive), and in §5 or 3=i5
(taken conjunctively, or before a substantive) such as, 3 g edible, anything to be eaten ; ^'S^'-^ flesh to be eaten;
5iJ]i!«^'S'J to bo read over, that must be read over; qjifljci^ g£i5qf3i£i?*i a literary wiovk {Gd-ttra) to be perused.
The past participle is expressed by any of the following secondary particles or case—signs (put after
the root in the preterite, having regard to its final letter) 'J*', 1^ I l*i, ^* , ^*' or «^ or 5}s| ^, f , ^ i
Sc, ^s., ^i;
and "II they are used like ' having ' 'ed ' or ' being—ed ' in English (for joining two or more members of
sentence) ; as, |i«'"^I g'^'l*'! g*i 5 I gN|«J! |*J-5]c.| having spoken or said; ?5=.sif^«il^ having gone tell him
(go and tell him).
On the use of '^% ^% -^^ with veebs in the Imperative Mood and Conjunctive Peesent.
%<f\,^"i, and ^1 are all of the same power and signification.
?^ is attached to verbal roots, terminating in "?, S. =! I for instance: aT'^l read, let him read, he may
read; fS'^'^ explain, tell, let him explain;g=!^'? make ready, prepare, let him accomplish.

The ^"igs additive particles ^J^ and 'J^ are some times attached to certain adjectives to give them an
adverbial sense in the manner hj does in English, for example: »'3'n«'«)^'»§ go quickly, fli«J'»ia';QE^ showed
dearly ; s*'^"*''''!' shov?s kindness towards the low.
The adverbs of negation called S'l'lS are the following :
(1) *<, *i are used before the verb or adjective which they qualify, as in «''^'n»» fear not ; «<«|5i=. (please)
do not give: ^'^^ not true ;=.'^-?|*< I do not know.
(2) »)% ^\ are used after the verb or adjective, as in ^^^S (there is) nothing above.

Pkepositions.
There are no Prepositions in the Tibetan language. Certain postpositive particles or Postpositions,
do the function of the English Preposition. They are §, ^, ^i, *•, 5. «!, 9 I I, §1 &c. I^s, ^i^n &c. ^^, "!« &c.
The use of these particles has been partly explained in page 15. The Postpositions, however, do not
form a part of speech. They are, but, parts of words under declension.
There are simple and compound Postpositions.
The simple ones are : 1st. %, ^, 3, 5 or "i signifying : o/,'s; these are genitive case-signs. 2ndly S'Nj ^n^ j^q
•**», "}«i, " signifying li/, with. These are the signs of the Agentive or Instrumentive case, "i is the sign
both of the Accusative and the Dative eases and signifies to, for.
^ is the sign bolh of the Nominative and the Ablative cases; and "i*" is the sign of the Ablative,
As Ablative signs they signify from of, out of; J^^'^?^'f«;'^E.'^ni*)|t»:i Light shone from the

The additive particles 5, '^, % 5, ?i (put after the Nominative with respect to its final letter) denote
motiou, progression to, or towards a place ; or change, tarn, promotion, transformation into another state.
They are the signs of the Locative case.

Conjunction.
S^ signifying and is used in five different senses; |S''|S as conjunction, for example :
^Se-*) god and
man ; »^S^'$ earth and water.*
There are three primitive conjunctions namely : jc, Q,c and «jc which are all of the same power and
signification. They are called '^I'^g^'i t oontinutive terms or words expressive of continuity.
T]C signifying too, also ; though, although ; even, is used after words ending in "I, \ ", "i and also
after ^•^'^ 1 for example : 5'1'5«-I «i«SS=-'I «)'n«i'3e.I S'sse.l •'l^'S'Se'l "^I^sa^-'l ^"SiS'-I ^^1'3«' though
there is; 5«^'3'> thou too or also ;?!J'3=. though (he) got; ^»''3e. although (he) knows.
QC is used after any vowel and after words ending in =i either expressed or understood. In being bo
used "^t is rather joined with than attached to the words or syllable it follows:
t'^c I also ;*)^^, man also
;5^"=., the son also ; »^^S fire too; °-%'<^, though he goes, '"^^S the order
even or also ;s, with "^s- forms one syllable, otj^B, (formed of 'JT and i^) is also one syllable.
^ "When it becomes necessary (in poetry for the sake of metre) to divide this one syllable into
two the '^6. is changed into "i^l
«}C is used after words or syllables ending in «i, \ ^, '^, \ "i or any vowel or in '', for example
JijcujE., "^i^i'uie., sisiuiB., jjM uje.j's'3\^<^,
ispji^iujE,. (e,u«, I also; »<^""» butter also; 'y'^'»*.-aR^.«i)
(there) is even no village) «i^S'''i'H'«it'<^$ '»l'S»<« though wrathful to the devil, yet hifid to all.
S=-' signifies as well or yet ; 9*'*'Tl'^3«^'^^''^'*<3"''^'^l
When 3^, '='= cr "^k. is used between two similar or same adjectives, it signifies more or still more i.e., in
H higher measure or degree. i]*)^<»Jt-5]«5';j clear and clearer still; »i?«J'3s.'*jtj5j handsome and still more handsome.
*S=-'S is used in five different senses : I. ^'i'SS 2. |»'*si 3. Xi^q*) 4. 5]«;|»i«i 5. cfqi

When S^, ^=. or ""c is used between two adjectives of opposite meanings, it shows the contrast or
points to the difference in their significations. '^'Mse.s'^*^(
^'Wsc'|*j[
wivqg though friendly yet deceptive ; ^^'S'S^.g though respectful yet furious.

'^I'S'I'S'^'H' disjunctive conjunctions.
wjC'S signifying or, or or else is the only disjunctive, in this language, which is in general use.
^'^S nay, rather ; what is more ; moreover, yet more, *^*^»i'a'S'^*''S'=>"S'S man's (not to speak of man) what
is more, gods even bowed.
K^'gCj !?^-5E. or M'^^ signifies, though, although, albeit, notwithstanding.
^S'S^ or *i«\'3^ signifies, though, although. ^S'lS.^'S'i^^, although—yet, "S'^c- yet, as yet, but yet.
^•^cuic now too, still. M'^ or M'f^,, siguifies if, hut if. "I'^i'^ or '!\'^'^S but or if but ;^g'^ or ^'^then, so.
^§ signifies if; ^'^ if then. ^'^ not even, not-even so much as, i'^, ^'l, ^'^ for, because.
q|5|j CS4, "^sj, ajSI, qsi S|5j q,5j^ ^si oi^ ^Si ^5J are interrogative signs, expressing a doubt,
whether, or ? They may be formed of any word, by reduplicating its final letter, and adding a «; as in
£]«;|Jil-«i|«j'e'e., c!^»)pf whether I or he ; I or he ?
J«is), ^i^N or ^ "^^i signifies or, or so. ^'^, i?'^'^ or '^'^u'c signifies then, therefore, nevertheless, j
Inteejection.
5 K>/e is the polite vocative particle signifying o or oh which is, in general use, both colloquially and in
writing. It is equivalent to Sanskrit Sho (in Tibetau ^^ bod to address or call) from which the Hindi name
Bhota signifying Tibet, has been derived. S is generally used at the beginning of an expression or sentence
for example : 3'^^'^I 0, the god of gods ! sp'^i'i^q O, charioteer !
*
S is also used in the middle or at the end of a sentence, for example : '^S5^''^i=.^'«^3i5«i"^''|'5i"§f5*^|f-'^ 1

Syntax.The arrangement of the words of the several parts of speech, in Tibetan expressions and sentences, does
notresemble that of the same in English or Sanskrit. It is rather the reverse of the English. The nouns
and pronouns including the Nominative, precede their attributes, and the verbs stand at the end of the
sentence. In the sentence -f]^V^'i'^'^'^'l^^f^«^'g'Ti'N«i«VR;g-^q«)-qi on the occasion of going, on pilgrimage,

*^^'5 and ^'f^^i*) are adjectives qualifying the nouns in the Nominative case ^Ir*«. and ^'f** respectively.
tT*fee Ablative case-sign ^»i //-ow /.«'„ signifying origination, is generally used, in modern idiomatic
Tibetan, after the Nominative. In these two instances 3^1 "^it mni ^-^n are Nominatives, c!3=.*)'j»i and '=^'^''3'
% are verba.
X '^^'^ the term "!«. is generally used with the pronouns %, \ °^, and adverbs ^^, S and the conjunction
"1^ it being placed before them, such as 'H'^-'^"!; "1^'^; "I"^'"*^; "I^'g^j "I"^'^'; ''l'i'"'=.'l

Verbs occur at the end of sentences, thus :^-^'^'S)'-?!*!! I do not know that; gS''^'^'5J'''^'^ who told
to you ;«)=.N-g^-ai-§"Jl-a,ii5ci5i
( make reverence to Buddha; g'(a|ei^'^'^E.'^'|^*'q^§^'S<'I your honour may
long or have long life
The auxiliaries which follow the principial verb are only conjugated in tho several tenses and moods,
root verb being invariable : as in §VS''^^''I'J*> to cause (one) make ;|*\'^*i'^^ to make (one) can, able
;
^"^S'^^ to wish to do.
Nouns generally precede their attributes, and then it is only the last of them that is declined in the
cases ; as in '^'^^'^^S"! these great men.
A noun denoting possession, is placed in the genitive and alway precedes the thing possessei :»)5'^^'3
body. Such genitives are also expressed adjectively, as in English :*1'5*^ the human body
;^=.'^»^
cup ; ^'^''l*) water drops.
The genitive case-sign is sometimes dropt, in nouns, denoting possession: *ie.N-g>)q^3i'q for ?^E.*i|!5j'|'q§'^'q|
fai^iqisj q for i^tai^3j-|»<5f3j£;I
When several nouns in the agentive or genitive case are placed together' with or without the word
?jq]?q signifying et cetera at the end, the case-sign is attached to the last noun or to ^"l"^, for example :
;]'*)'5!'?;il«^'§N-«;c«-g5)-ai-gqi-g*)-Sl the gods, i\''(f(/a men etcetera, paid reverence to Buddha. |'>i'g'v=^5s.'9'
the place of refuge of the king, ministers, and of all the subjects. s,=.-5[s<'*f'^c»)il^^:!l^sj
my parents and every other person.
When the adjectives precede the nouns they are intended to qualify, they are invariable in all the
^s*^*! signifies «^»^'£i5'S*jI
^»4'«J stands for ^?f55'*)i cardinals, expressive of any great number or
require, that the preceding noun be in the sigular: '^"S ten men; "5 0| a hundred years;
a hundred thousand war-men or warriors. 5s.-|-S-<iI?qj a myriad houses; ?5'^(l'^ 'S**'^''!
hundred thousand towns ;5='' *'*'"' a million of inhabitants.
The case denoting the agent, by whom, or the instrument, with which, any action is produced, is called
Instrumentive. This occurs very frequently, since it is used both before the active and passive verbs,
before every verb denoting a transitive action on an object or person.
Active and passive verbs ending I'S or Iv^l can be discriminated only by the instrumentive and the
cases expressed before them.
c»i-|t £ii,-|«;i by me (he) is beaten ;=.|=.'i* |'\ I am beaten.
8/6/2019 Sarat Chandra Das Grammar of the Tibetan Language
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/sarat-chandra-das-grammar-of-the-tibetan-language 108/347

Active and Causal verbs require before them, the lustrumentive case i.e. the Nominative with any of
these case-eigns l'^,Sjis, |*i,—« or ^"s or ")«, according to the final letter of the word in the Nominative case,
and the neuters and passives, in like manner, require the Nomiuativo or Objective case. But, when the
active verb is intransitive, the Nominative is used ; as in f?c-(^q^i^««i| |t^| ]xo wall;s; c^^'^j'si I do not walk or
go. Instead of tho Instrumentive case, the Nominative is also used with the emphatical I (s.'^); as in
c'^»f^?j?i I have not said that. As also, when the Objective case takes the 'v particle, the Nominative (or
Accusative) is used, instead of the Instrumentive ; as in ^^Si) a'\''^^'^ I have told you, for ^i^"! ^l^'if'^'^S^ by
me it has been said to you. (See Csoma's Grammar;.
Prosody.
Tibetan verses are free from the fetters of rhj'^me and metro. All the poetical pieces in Tibetan, originals
or translations from Sanskrit, are in a sort of blank verse or prose in flowing motion. There is no distinc-
tion of vowels into long and short, accented or emphatical, in Tibetan versification. Ail poetical compositions
differ from one another only in tho number of syllables. There are feet bat not metrical ones, measured by
short and long vowels or syllables. The several poetical pieces occurring in the Kah-gyur and Stangijur, all
of which are faithful translations from the Sanskrit Buddhist works of India, have been rendered in blank
verse, consisting of two or four Hues, eachof
seven,nine, eleven, thirteen, fifteen, seventeen,
nineteen or
twentyone syllables.
The Avadma KaljHilata, in Tibetan and Sanskrit, which has been published in the BiblMlieca Indiea
series by the Asiatic Society of Bengal, contains numero us examples of such poetical compositions.
In the repartee songs of Tibet which generally consist of verses of two liaes of six syllables each, there
is rhythm;(see Appendix IX) but poetry (^^'Vtis^) i.e., versification is seldom dona in lines of six syllables.
In lyric songs the distinetiou of number in the syllables of a line is, however, seldom observed. They
are composites, sometimes irregularly done, of lines of sis, seven aud two syllables. These are, at the time of
singing, lengthened by the intevsyllabio addition of "i, ^ (for 3"^) &3., such as in |^« (P=.''?i«}; olq]5qq^a)uiisja(q)
^iS'oi i^iS'iAl). See Appendix X.

Analysis of the Appendices.
APPENDIX I.
Identification
(of the soul of a dectased Lama with that of a Child-Pretender).
By command of the Emperor of China, the 14th Hierarch of the Karma-pa (Buddhist Sect of Tibet)
entitled Shuhi Td-pau-wa Wang-Zi-then tsi-lsd hu-o Lord over the monasteries of Szi-then western
(Tibet). He bore the religious name of Theg-pa Mohog-gi Rdorje (in Sanskrit, Farama Vajra
. His rescript runs thus :—
Hear and be sure, ye the general public of Jambu dvipa and particularly the clergy and the laity,
great and low, the Lamas and the priests, the Ruling King, the ministers, captains and
lieutenants, &o. (of Sikkim). Whereas this son of the Ruling King Dharma-Baja (of Sikkim)
being identified by me as the embodiment of the soul of Karma Rin-chen neg-don bstan hdsiu
(the deceased) nephew of Kun-Mkhyen Situ Riu-poche of Mdo-Khamg, and also installed as
High-Priest, has been placed on his seat and given (the religious) name of Karma sgrub brgyud
bstan hdsiu dar rgyas Ihun-grub nes-don dvan-po. He having dulygraduated himself in the
(holy) Orders of dge-tshul {Oramanera) and dge-glon {Cramana) and having received consecra-
tion and initiation in the deep training of the new and older forms of mysticism, to turn an
adept thereunto, has been appointed bishop over the following moaasteriea of his owa
sect :
(1) Karma Rab-bstan glin.
(2) Karma Bkracig chog-hkhor-glin.
(3) Karma Chog-hkhor glin.
(4) Karma Hctii-med rgyan dven.
(5) Karma G-rub-brgyud-bstan dar glin.
The (new) incarnate Lama, by adopting the best means and methods of work, should with unflagging
exert himself to the propagation of the religion of Buddha and work impartially and without prejudice.
religious classes should obey the Lama's behests, observe the customary laws and canonical refrulations
act according to the established methods. The faithful believers and alms-givers should a!so pny him due
venerate and obey him.

relics with other like objects, after former precedents. If arrangements for its construction and supply of

come from. There, it is hoped, you will, remembering the kindnesses you had received while here, earnestly
exert yourself to render assistance, as one knowing the place and the market rate of things.
First (of all) the price per seir of copper-sheet which will easily take gold-gilding, should be ascertained

Subject-Analysis.
OF
APPENDICES IV-XI,
The word 5j3f3j'q)^i;,[ Mgron-gfier literally signifies receiver or entertainers of guests. It
is generally applied to an official of the rank of Private Secretary to a great Lama or Chief.
Lama Urgyen Gya-tsho, llai Bahadur, while holding the position of Deputy Magistrate at
Kalimpong, was appointed to this Honorary Office by His Highness Thutob Namgyal, k.c.i.e.
Maharaja of Sikkim. The Lama belonged to the Gonsag-pa sect of Kham which coming from
the Do-med District ofMi-fiag,
inUlterior Tibet, had resided for some years at Lhasa
and Sakya before finally settling in Sikkim. Several of the Lama's ancestors had rendered
good, loyal services to the state for which they were raised to distinction. The Lama
had very faithfully served the Maharaja and his family during the time they were
kept as state prisoners at Darjeeling and Kurseong.
The Jongpon of Bumthang in Bhutan '^5^''^5i| acknowledges the receipt of a letter and
presents comprising of a stone ChaiUja and other articles sent by the Japanese Buddhist monk,
Ekai Kawaguclii. He writes him to say that he was pleased with the letter. He wasunable to send for the Kahgyur (Enoyclopoedia of Buddhist Scriptures, in 108 volumes)
of Kham, Derg^print on account of the disturbed state of that country. He has heard
from rumour that the printing establishment at Derg^ had recently been burnt by the
Chinese soldiery. If, however, the rumour proves false, he will send his messenger with
caravans proceeding to Kham to fetch the Kahgyur. He encloses a silk scarf for the Lama's
acceptance.
APPENDIX V.
Here is an enumeration, in Sanskrit, of the names of the cycle of sixty years that wascurrent in Southern India, i.e., in the regions to the south of the River Narmada. The cycle
is called Vrikuspati Chakra. It is stated in the Kala Ohakra Tantra that it was introduced in
Uttara Oambhala being taken there from Cridlianya Kataka in very early times. According
to Tibetan historians, Chilu Fandita introduced the cycle, in Tibet, in 1025 A.D., where it is
called Rab-byuD, in Sanskrit Prabhaua, from the name of the first year of the cycle. Uttara
Oambhala was the name by which the capital of the Bactrian Empire of the Eastern Greeks
was known to the Mahayana Buddhists. I may identify it with the Sanskrit, Balokshya
