page 452 note 1 Thus ἒδειξ-α: abodhish-am:: ἒδειξα-s:abodhish-ī.s:: ἒδειξε: abodhish ī-t. We cannot compare ἒδειξ-αν with abodhish-us, until more is known of the Skt. 3rd plur. -us.
It is highly probable that Gk. -α came always from -αν and not directly from -αm. Consequently there is no certain case of final so-called or being directly represented by a vowel, except the Lith. matere.
Brugmann's equation (Grundr. § 287) : sthātúr: = dáša: is unsound; for the -a of Skt. d´ça is for -an. Gk. and Skt. also agree in retaining both vowel and nasal in the secondary 3rd plur. act. suffix m(t) after consonants, e.g. āsan, which I therefore regard as unaccentual forms determined by old enelitic use, but the retention of the nasal consonant may be due to the analogy of strong aorists, the tense-stem of which ended in a vowel.
Compare the above paragraph of the text with the spaced paragraph, Curtius' Studien, Vol. ix. p. 294.
