In the chapter on Apabhraṃśa in Hemacandra's Prākrit Grammar (Siddhahema, iv, 330 if.) are found some instances of a curious phraseological turn to express the ablative of motion, which is unknown from OIA, viz.:—
iv, 355
jahāhontau āgado “from where he came”; tahāhontau āgado “from there he came”; kahāhontau āgado “from where did he come ?”;
iv, 379
mahu hontau gado, majjhu hontau gado “he went from me”;
iv, 372
tau hontau āgado, tujjha hontau āgado, tudhra hontau āgado “he came from you”;
iv, 380
amhahã hontau gado “he went from us”;
iv, 373
tumhahã hontau āgado “he came from you”.

page 36 note 1 Hoernle, op. cit., p. 228, takes tāhṃto as tā-hiṃto, the latter element of which he suggests to be a modification of the present participle of ho-; new evidence, however, shows that we must divide tāhiṃ-to (Skt. -tas) as already proposed by Lasseu, , Institutiones linguæ pracriticæ, p. 310Google Scholar.

page 41 note 1 It should be noticed that in this connection the verbal participle is synchronous with the principal verb, and accordingly exactly covers Ap. hontau; with Beames' explanation (ii, p. 236), adopted by Hoernle and admitted by Alsdorf, I cannot agree.
