viyoga (Kc 10)

Dear All,
I wonder if anyone can help solve a problem I'm having with Kacc 10
regarding the separation (viyoga) of the antecedent consonant from the
following vowel. I will first give the sutta with its vutti and one example
from the Kaccaayanabyaakara.na (Burmese ed.):
"10, 12. pubbamadho.thitamassara.m sarena viyojaye.
tattha sandhi.m kattukaamo pubbabya~njana.m adho.thita.m assara.m katvaa
sara~nca upari katvaa sarena viyojaye.
tatraayamaadi. "
As I understand it, the separation in the example occurs between the 'r' in
'tatr' and the vowel immediately following, i.e. 'aa' at the beginning of
'aayamaadi'. Without sandhi the phrase would read 'tatra aya.m aadi'. Does
this rule imply that the break between tatr and aayamaadi should be heard in
pronunciation? Up to now, I have assumed the pronunciation to be
'ta-traa-ya-maa-di' but this rule suggests a pronounciation of
'tatr-aa-ya-maa-di'.
Best wishes,
Jim
