behaviour of the substitute
like the original in respect of holding
the qualities of the original and
causing grammatical operations by
virtue of those qualities. B y means
of the substitute for a
root is, for instance, looked upon
as a ro o t; similarly, a noun-base or
an affix or so, is looked upon like
the original and- it can cause such
operations or be a recipient of such
operations as are due to its being a
root or a noun or an affix or the
like. This wrftsrgPT cannot be,1 and
is not made also, a universally applicable
feature; and there are
limitations or restrictions put upon
it, the chief of them being sjfe'fr or

are caused by ‘ the property of being
a single letter ’ ( ). There
are two views regarding this * behaviour

behaviour which is only
instrumental in causing operations
or undergoing them which is called
and (2 ) actual restoration

certain conditions only as prescribed

one of the two alternative
views regarding reduplication
according to which two wordings
or units of the same form replace
the original single wording,
cf. ?*nR5?£RfcJT|ifer
Siradeva Pari. 68. The other kind
of reduplication is called fg:sn5tn-
fiphRW which looks upon reduplication
as the mere placing of an
exactly similar unit or wording after
the original first unit. This alternative
view is accepted in the
Kasika ; cf. Kas. on P. VI. r.i.

As grammar is a science of words,
in those places where one word is
mentioned for another by the use
of the genitive case it should be
understood that the word mentioned
is to be substituted for the other;

In some grammars the sthanin and

case, viz. the nominative case.
