E.g. ciTThii likh-kar bhejii gaii 'the letter was written and sent / the letter, having been written, was sent'. Cf. vah ciTThii likh-kar bhejegaa 'he will write the letter and send it / after writing the letter he will send it'. Bertil Tikkanen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
