| Jobs | Form |
|---|---|
| Subject, object, call | अग्नी |
| With, for, from | अग्निभ्याम् |
| Of, in | अग्न्योः |
ऋषि, कवि, and मुनि, from that lesson, take the same three forms for two.
| Sentence | Meaning |
|---|---|
| अग्नी दीप्येते। | The two fires blaze. दीप्यते means “it blazes,” and it follows पठ्यते. दुई आगो बल्छन्। |
| अहम् अग्नी पश्यामि। | I see the two fires. अहम् keeps म् because अग्नी starts with a vowel. |
| अग्निभ्यां बिना गृहं शीतलम् अस्ति। | Without the two fires, the house is cold. बिना means “without,” and it takes the with-form. शीतलम् means “cold.” |
| अग्न्योः प्रकाशः महान् अस्ति। | The light of the two fires is great. महान् is the subject form from the qualities page. |
