N. B. When, &c. is added to a Sanscrit adjective ending in ം, it denotes that it is given in its neuter form but that
it admits of the masculine and feminine forms; and that in these masculine and feminine forms, it may be used
as a substantive, as ശ്രെഷ്ഠം pre-eminent; masculine ശ്രെഷ്ഠൻ, a pre-eminent person; feminine ശ്രെഷ്ഠ, a
pre-eminent woman. Many neuter nouns are likewise used as adjectives, as will be observed by the student,
which, when thus used, admit also of the masculine and feminine forms. [ 14 ] Application of the Roman Character to the Malayalim Alphabet as used in the DICTIONARY.
