Vowel Harmony and lack thereof

Hello @Inqilābī I was just wondering why you are removing the non-vowel-harmonised forms, which are invariably the original forms, as sadhu bhasha does not have vowel harmony. You can add the 18th-19th century rarhi-influenced vowel harmonised forms as variants but I do not think replacing one for the other is the answer here. @Sylotoid can probably elaborate on how these forms really don’t appear much or at all in most forms of Sadhu historically.

Right; I can at least refer to A Grammar of the Bengal Language (admittedly an old source, then again so is Sadhubhasha) where Halhed describes the future conjugation of তুমি to be করিবা and the conditional to be করিতা and করিতে both. From this it can at minimum be inferred that there is merit to these non-vowel-harmonised forms based on historical fact. I can look into other older grammars if necessary.
