SV: ratyaa, ratya.m

Based on Jim last e-mail on thaane (in some cases...) is this just an
example of the locative absolute as is common in epic Sanskrit?
Best,
Jm


In this particular case .thaane occurs after vaa, and I think it must be
interpreted in the sense of prasa.nge "when there is occasion for
application." The explanation is syntactically ambiguous, but seems to say:
before following (paresu) /y/ /m/ etc. there is optionally vowel elision
from phonemes that occur before the immediately following
(phoneme)(anantare) when there is occasion for its application. Take the
example of padma :: paduma; before /m/ the vowel /u/ is elided from /d/ that
occur before the immediately following (phoneme)/m/.

Ole Pind

Sanskrit grammar. The

/ya/ etc. when

However, /u/ is
