Lesson 30 1. Declension of Adjectives ending in -vantu and -mantu Attributive adjectives ending in -vantu and -mantu can be declined in
all three genders. Masculine Gender Guṇavantu - virtuous
NB: Note the similarities of this declension to the declension of the present participle masculine gender ending in -nta. Adjectives ending in -mantu are declined as cakkhumā, cakkhumanto etc. Neuter Gender Ojavantu - nourishing
The rest is similar to the declension of masculine adjectives ending in -vantu and -mantu. Feminine Gender Guṇavatī / guṇavantī and cakkhumatī / cakkhumantī are the feminine forms of the adjectives ending in -vantu and -mantu. They are declined like kumārī, i.e. feminine nouns ending in -ī. 2. Adjectives ending in -vantu and -mantu
