Dear Pali friends,
Duroiselle in his
Pali Grammar, §404, lists "special bases" of irregular roots, and among them, for example, are:
1st conjugation √dhā --> daha (irregular) [√dhā - holding; bearing]
1st conjugation √mar --> miyya (irregular) [√mara - abandonment of life; dying]
which are the same as bases, formed in a regular way from other roots, namely,
1st conjugation √daha + a --> daha (regular) [√daha - burning and holding; bearing]
3rd conjugation √mida + ya --> midya --> miyya (regular) [√mida - sticking]
(there are other examples as well, where bases are identical in form and meaning, or only in form).
How come that these bases are identical? Are they really "special"?
Is this what Duroiselle describes in:
§367. There is a division of the tenses, more fictitious than real, into "Special Tenses" and"General Tenses". From such a division, one would be inclined to think that the former are formed on a special base or modified form of the root, and the latter, therefore, from the root itself. But such in fact is not the case, for it will later on be, remarked that the special and the general tenses not seldom interchange their bases.
Please shed some light on this.
Metta, Dmytro
В учебнике Дюрозеля в качестве примеров особых основ, образованных от корней не по стандартным правилам, указаны основы, которые идентичны основам, образованным по стандартным правилам, но от других корней, например:1-е спряжение √dhā --> daha (не по правилам) [√dhā - holding; bearing]1-е спряжение √daha + a --> daha (по правилам) [√daha - burning and holding; bearing]или1-е спряжение √mar --> miyya (не по правилам) [√mara - abandonment oflife; dying]3-е спряжение √mida + ya --> midya --> miyya (по правилам) [√mida - sticking]Вопрос: действительно ли данные основы являются особыми основами или нет?
