I equivocate on this point.  I do not see that this must definitively be the
true meaning of "adho.thita.m" --although it is a very appealing
explanation.

E.M.

The commentators agree that adho.thitam means assara.m katvaa i.e. a
consonant without its vowel. This describes very well the pratice of writing
a consonant followed by a vowel below the preceding consonant and writing
the vowel after the ligature with the changes necessitated by any given
initial vowel of the following word.
