Those of teaching admit of acc. of the person + loc. of the thing taught (Priy. p. 11 deruanandag.... fafan), , and other verbs of enjoining are con- strued with acc. of the enjoinment dat.

Upon the the whole, the construction with a double object appears to be the rem- nant of an old vegetation, which has almost passed away to be suc- ceeded by new stalks and young stems. We may see the same process at work in Latin, Greek and the teutonic languages. In all of them the idiom of the double object loses territory time going.
