Y. Y
-- Y -- combn consonant (sandhi), inserted (euphonically) between 2 vowels for the avoidance of hiatus. It
has arisen purely phonetically from i as a sort of "gliding" or semi -- vowel within a word, where the
syllable division was in regular speech more openly felt than in the written language, e. g. pari -- y --
!panna (P!li) corresponds to Sk. pary -- !panna, similarly pari -- y -- os!na=Sk. paryos!na. Thus inserted
after a before i or e: chay -- im! dis! D iii.188; ta -- y -- ida' Sn 1077; Pv i.33; tava -- y -- ida' Sn 352; na -
- y -- ida' S ii.278; mama -- y -- ida' Sn 806; na -- y -- idha Sn 790; m! -- y -- idha Vin i.54; yassay --
et!dis" paj! D ii.267 (v. l. ss for T yassa -- s -- et!dis"); satiy! -- y -- eta' adhivacana' M ii.260; na -- y --
imassa Pv iv.12. -- After i before a: p!visi -- y -- assama' J v.405; kha*i -- y -- asmani J iii.433; y! -- y --
añña' J i.429 (where C. expls: ya -- k!ro pa&isandhi -- karo). -- Cp. yeva for eva. -- Note. At J vi.106 ya -- y
-- ime jane is to be taken as ye ime jane; the spelling ay for e being found elsewhere as well. Cp. the
following ta -- y -- ime jane.
Ya˚
Ya˚ [pron. rel. base; Vedic ya1=Gr. o(/s who; cp. Goth. jabai if, -- ei rel. part. An amplification of the dem.
pron. base *i -- , *ei -- (cp. aya'). See on detail Brugmann, "Die indogerm. Pronomina" in Ber. d. sächs.
Ges. LX. 41 sq.] I. Forms. (See inflection also at Geiger, P.Gr. § 110.) The decl. is similar to that of ta˚;
among the more rarely found forms we only mention the foll.: sg. nom. m. yo with by -- form (in hiatus) yv
-- , as yv'âya'=yo aya' M i.258; yv'âssa=yo assa M i.137. Notice the lengthening of the subsequent vowel.
An unsettled ya is to be found at J v.424 (Fausböll remarks "for yass!"?; perhaps to be combd with
preceding pañcapatik!; C. on p. 427 expls ya -- k!ro nip!tamatto) -- abl. yasm! in adv. use; yamh! Dh 392.
-- loc. yamhi Dh 261, 372, 393. -- f. loc. yassa' A iii.151 (see below). See further adv. use of cases (below
ii.5). -- At Pv ii.16 y!hi is doubtful (perhaps imper.=yajahi, of yajati; C. leaves it unexpld). Special mention
must be made of the nt. n. acc. sg., where both ya' and yad are found. The (Vedic) form yad (Ved. yat) has
been felt more like ya+expletive (Sandhi -- ) d, and is principally found in adv. use and certain archaic
phrases, whereas ya' represents the usual (Pali) form (like tad and ta'). See more under II. -- A
M!gadhized form is ye (after se=ta'), found at D ii.278 (see Geiger § 1052 & 1102. Cp. Trenckner, Notes
75.). The expression ye -- bhuyyena may belong under this category, if we explain it as yad+bhuyyena
(bhuyyena equivalent to bhiyyoso). It would then correspond to seyyath! (= sad+yath!, cp. sayath!, sace,
ta'yath!). See refs. under yebhuyyena. -- The expression yev!panaka is an adj. formn from the phrase ye --
v! -- pana (=ya' v! pana "whatever else there is"), i. e. belonging to something of the same kind, i. e.
-- 544 --
corresponding, reciprocal, as far as concerned, respective. (See s. v.) -- In adv. use it often corresponds to
E. as; see e. g. yad -- icchaka', yad -- ida' (under ii.2 b; ii.4 b.). II. Meaning: "which," in correspondence to
a following demonstr. pron. (ta˚); whichever (generalizing); nt. what, whatever. In immediate combn with
the demonstr. pron. it is qualifying and specifying the person, thing or subject in discussion or question (see
below 4). 1. Regular use as correl. pron., when ya˚ (+noun) is followed by ta˚ (+noun). Sometimes (in
poetry) the reverse is the case, e. g. at It 84 where ta˚ (m. sa) is elliptically omitted: attha' na j!n!ti ya'
lobho sahate nara' "he does not know good, whom greed overcomes." -- Otherwise regular, e. g.: yassa
j!tar(parajata' kappati pañca pi tassa k!magu*! kappanti S iv.326. In a generalizing sense (cp. below ii.3):
yo v! so v! "der erste beste," some or other, whoever, any J iv.38; v.362; ya' v! ta' v! karotu let her do
whatever she likes VvA 208; yasmi' v! tasmi' v! on every occasion S i.160 na yo v! so v! yakkho not this
or that yakkha i. e. not any (ordinary) kind of Yakkha (but Inda) DA i.264. -- The same use (ordinary
correlative) applies to the nt. forms ya' & yad in correl. to ta' and tad. (See sep. under II. 2.) 2. Use of nt.
forms. -- (a) nt. ya' (a) as pronoun: S iii.44 (ya' dukkha' . . . tad anatt!); It 78 (yañ c' añña' whatever else);
VbhA 54 (ya' labbhati yañ ca na labbhati ta' sabba' pucchitv!). See also under 3 a (ya' kiñci, ya' ya'). --
(b) as adj. adv.: ya'mukha facing what, turned where (?) J v.475 (but C. reads & expls sammukha!); ya' --
