66 TELOOGOO GRAMMAR.
No other crude Sanscrit nouns ending in 3_ or """ are ever found in Teloogoo works. It is, therefore, unnecessary to lay down any rules respecting them.
6th OF THOSE ENDING IN LONG VOWELS.

All nouns ending in long vowels, thus converted to short vowels, are considered as originally terminating in these short vowels ; and, accordingly, form the nominative singular in Teloogoo, agreeably to the rules already given for crude Sanscrit nouns ending in short ^ 9 or o respectively.
