SV: viyoga (Kc 10) --comment

Dear Jim,


<<The "pubbe.thita.m" explains "pubba.m" not "adho.thita.m". "pubba.m" or
"pubbe.thita.m" explains which consonant should be separated from the vowel.
"adho.thita.m" explains where to place the consonant after its separation
from the vowel. I would suggest that after the separation takes place the
antecedent consonant automatically loses its description "pubba.m" since it
no longer applies and in its place gets a new one "adho.thita.m" which is
what is brought to the subsequent letter as a final step (Kc 11) in a series
of sandhi operations<<

Yes, The real problem of Kacc 10 is the presence of the term adho.thitam. It
can only denote a consonant that is placed below. It starts as pubba,
pubbabhuuta or pubba.thita and is subsequently turned into one that is
adho.thitam. This is how Nyaasa paraphrases Kacc-v. My point is that we are
dealing with a a description of the widespread practice of writing any given
consonant below a preceding one. It would not make sense to write a
consonant below a vowel. The rule is in my opinion not a sandhi rule: rule
11 naye para.m yutte must refers to writing.

Best wishes,
Ole
