In examples (72a-d), एतहाँ /etʌɦɑ/ 'here' in (72a), ओतहाँ /otʌɦɑ/ 'there' in (72b)
and एने /ene/ 'this side' in (72c-d), and ओने /one/ 'that side' are the place adverbs.
Dhakal (2011) has categorized such adverbs including adverbs of time and place

except interrogatives and relatives as pronominal adverbs in Darai.
f) Derivational morphology
Grierson (1883:28) states adverbs as indeclinable in Bhojpuri and other

grammarians are almost silent whether Bhojpuri adverbs are declinable. But Singh
(2008:36) catches sight of declinable characteristics of the Bhojpuri adverbs. Generally,

the adverbs are declined to form other word classes in Bhojpuri, as shown in (73a-c).
