The only form that requires notice is that of the conjunctive
participle. It is derived from the Apabhrarmsa form _utthiu_, to which
the dative suffix _n_ (old Marathi _ni_, _niya_) has been added.
Various tenses are formed by adding personal suffixes to the present,
past or future passive participle. When the subject of the verb is in
the nominative the tense so formed agrees with it in gender, number
and person. We may note four such tenses: a present, _uth^ato_, I
rise; a past, _uth^alo_, I rose; past conditional, _uth^ato_, had I
risen; and a subjunctive, _uthawa_, I should rise. In the present, the
terminations are relics of the verb substantive, and in the other
tenses of the personal pronouns. In these latter, as there is no
pronoun of the third person, the third persons have no termination,
but are simply the unmodified participle. We thus get the present and
the past conjugated as follows, with a masculine subject:--
