G1-G3] INTERNAL CONSONANT SANDHI 41Sandhi. Thus pranc + s nom. s. forward becomes pran(the s being first dropped, the palatals being changed togutturals by 27, and the k being then dropped by 28) ;similarly a-doh + 1 = a-dhok he milked (55).62. Aspirates followed by any sounds except vowels,semivowels or nasals (60) lose their aspiration ; e. g. randh +dhi = rand-dhi'2. s. aor. impv. subject; labh + sya-te =lap-syate (B.) 3. s. fut, tvill take ;but yudh-i in battle ;a-rabh-ya seising.a.

But before sthis rule applies only partially thus from;dabh harm : des.dip-sa-ti desires to injure, dip-su intending to hurt bhas;chciv :baps-a-ti chews ; guh hide : des, ju-guk-sa-tas besideaghuksat ;dah hum :part, daksat beside dhaksant ;duhmilk :aor. a-duksat beside a-dhuksat.h.

While c regularly becomes gutturalbefore consonants (cf.61 ;27 ;7 b), j in some cases (themajority) becomes guttural (k, g),^ in others cerebral (t, d, s) ;'For the Vedic language tolerates two aspirates neither at thebeginning and the end of the same syllable, nor at the end of one andthe beginning of the next. On the other hand, there is no loss ofaspiration in the root if an aspirate (after a vowel) which belongs to asuffix or a second member of a compound follows ;e. g. vibhu-bhiswith the Vibhus ; garbha-dhi m. breeding-place. (The two imperatives bodhibe for bho-dhi, and ja-hi strike for jha-hi, follow the general rule.)Except in the case of the root dha 2)Z«ce,the weak stem of whichdadli (following the analogy of 62«) becomes dhat before t and th(cf. 134 B b).*j always becomes k before a conjugational s (cp. 144, 4) ; e. g. mrksva2. s. impv. of rarj wipe.
