114. Are there (1.) any dubious cases and (2.) any irre-
gularities in the case of the above classes of verbs,
in relation to the formation of their past tenses?
There are many, particularly in the case of crude-forms
ending in r, l, ḷ.
Ex:
| Crude-form | Past in 'i' | Past in 'tu' |
| 1. kollu (kill) | kolli | konnu |
| chollu (=say) | cholli | chonnu |
| cháru (= lean) | chári | chárnnu |
| 2. áḷu | áṇḍu | |
| varaḷ (=dry up) | varaṇṭu | |
| íru (saw) | írnnu | |
| póru (=accompany) | pónnu | |
| uṇ (=eat) | uṇṭu | |
| tin (eat) | tinnu | |
| koḷḷu (take) | koṇḍu | |
| akalu (=be distant) | akannu |
N. B. In speaking of verbal roots the half 'u' at the end is not
considered to form a syllable, the consonant preceding it is
considered part of the preceding syllable.
