164 CONJUGATION [144-/sri); a-hai-t (= a-hai-s-t v^hi); a-va-t '(= a-vas-s-t : :vas sJdne). The later Samliitas here frequently preservethese endings by inserting i before them : s. 2. a-rat-s-i-s(v^radh), a-vat-s-x-s (vas dtvell); 3. a-tam-s-i-t (v'tan),a-naik-s-i-t (\/nij), tap-s-i-t (Vtap), bhai-s-i-t (\/bhi),vak-s-i-t (-/vah), ha-s-i-t, hvar-s-i-t (v^hvar).a. The ending dhvam (before which the s of the aor. is lost) becomesdhvam when the s would have been cerebralized (66 B 2): d-stodhvam(= a-sto-z-dhvam) is the only example.3. The roots da give and da cut reduce the radical vowelto i in a-di-s-i, di-s-iya ;gam, man, van lose their nasal ina-ga-smalii, ma-s-iya, va-s-i-mahi (beside vam-s-i-mahi) ;while sah lengthens its vowel in a-sak-s-i, sak-s-i ;sak-sama; sak-s-iya ;sak-sva.4. The roots srj emit and pre mix take metathesis in theact.: s. 2. sra-s (= srak). 3. a-srak ; a-prak. Du. 2.a-sras-tam.5. The following are the forms occurring in the 3. s. ind.act. in which (a) the ending t is lost : a-jai-s ( V}i), a-pra-s,a-ha-s ; (h) both the tense-sign s and the ending t are lost :^a-kran (krand crij out), a-ksar (ksar flow), a-cait (citXjerceive),a-chan (chand seem), a-tan (tan stretch), a-tsar(tsar approach stealthily),a-dyaut (dyut shine), a-dhak (dahhum), a-prak (pre mix), a-prat (prach asTi),a-bhar (bhr),a-yat (yaj sacrifice), a-yan (yam guide), a-raut (rudhobstruct), a-vat (vah couve//), a-vat^ (vas shine), a-svait (svithe hright), a-syan (syand move on), a-srak (srj emit), a-svar(svar sound), a-har (hr tahe), a-raik (rie leave).6. After a consonant other than n, m, r the tense sign sis dropped before t, th, and dh e. ; g. a-bhak-ta (besidea-bhak-s-i) a-muk-thas;(beside a-muk-s-i).1But the t may in this instance represent the changed final radicals : 144, 1 (b). There are a few additional examples in B. : ajait(beside ajais and ajaisit:Vji) ; acait (^ci); nait (\/ni).2 And even the final consonant of the root when there are two (28).
