(x) This is perhaps the most useful particle in the whole language, and though its frequent repetition rather prove harsh and disgusting to us, the natives certainly confider it both convenient and harmonious; and while I declare that my prejudices at first were strong against this very adjunct, I must now freely confefs, that time and ufage have made it as familiar and pleafing as our man, in feaman, carman, chairman, feedsman, oilman, milkman, landsman, layman, mermaid, chambermaid, and a thousand others, so perfectly affimilated as not to offend even that ear which at once revolts against roteewala, a baker; dood,hwalee, a milkmaid; choukeewala, a chair carrier; janewalee, a female going, about to go, a goer in the fem. gend. wala, among other ufes forming a kind of future participle; bhagna, fugere; bhagnewala, fugiens, fugitivus, and fugiturus; bhagnewalee, fugitura; the a being generally inflected in the component word to e, as in cheere-wala, ee, a boy, a girl, wearing a turban.

See one in the Dictionary. Wala is fo far efteemed foft and melodious, as to be much used in the little fongs and airs peculiar to this country, which when properly fung, are by no means devoid of harmony; that the natives ftudy this even in their language is evident enough from wala being fo commonly mellowed to cela, yla, &c. in the text, and it furely does not require very mufical ears to perceive the sweetness of lujeela, rufeelee, rungeela, fhurmeelee, fujecla; like which are formed thofe in el, &c.
