-The usage of ''[[pa]]'' ''[[ba]]'' ''[[ma]]'' is the most general and widest of all, as they occur with all sorts of substantives and other nouns. ''[[pa]]'' is particularly used for denoting a man who is in a certain way connected with a certain thing (something like [[character omitted]] and [[character omitted]] in Hindustāni and Persian: ''[[grwa]]'' ,school', ''[[grwa pa]]'' (literally: scholar) 'disciple, novice'; ''[[chu]]'' ,water', ''[[chu pa]]'' ,water carrier' ([[character omitted]]); ''[[rta]]'' ,horse', ''[[rta pa]]'' ,horseman'; ''[[dbus]]'' ,the province of [[dbus|U]]', ''[[dbus pa]]'' ,a man from [[dbus|U]]', ''[[khye'u]]'' ,boy', ''[[lo]]'' ,year', ''[[gnyis]]'' ,two', hence: ''[[khye'u]]'' ''[[lo]]'' ''[[gnyis]]'' ''[[pa]]'' ,a two years' boy'. If the feminine is required ''[[ma]]'' is either added to, or - more commonly - used instead of, the former: ''[[dbus ma]]'' ,a woman from [[dbus|U]]'; ''[[bu mo]]'' ''[[lo]]'' ''[[gnyis]]'' ''[[ma]]'' ,a two years' girl'. The performe of an action is more frequently denoted by ''[[po]]'' (or, in more solemn language, ''[[pa po]]''), though, in conversation at least, ''[[mkhan]]'', is preferred; ''[[byed pa]]'' ,to do, make'; doing making'; ''[[byed po]]', ''[[byed pa po]]'', ,[[byed mkhan]]'' ,the doer, the maker'.
