Regarding
( c ), lexical CMs can be said to have samantic substance
of their own which is why the difference in CMs modifies
the meaning of the sentences in which they occur. The
ka CM under reference does not show this trait.
Consider (13) and (14): |
| (13) |
|
paudhe se patta gira
paudhe se leaf fall+PAST
(The leaf fell from the plant)
|
| |
|
|
| (14) |
|
paudhe par patta gira
plant CM leaf fall+PAST
(The
leaf fell on the plant)
|
|
Although
the verb is the same and so are the arguments in (13)
and (14), the two sentences differ in meaning because
of the different CMs attached to paudhe. In (13), paudha
is the Source and in (14), it is the Locative. |

| Also
observe : |
| (15) |
|
ram ne tahani se am toda
ram CM branch CM mango break+PAST
(
)
|
| |
|
|
| (16) |
|
ram ne is jahaj par sab kuch luta diya
ram CM this ship CM everything lose+PAST
(Ram lost everything on this ship) |
