Kc 19

[Kaccāyanabyākaraṇaṃ, Sandhikappo, Dutiyakaṇḍo, Sutta 19]

19. 22. Sabbo caṃ ti (46, 47).

Sabbo icc' eso tisaddo byañjano sare pare kvaci cakāraṃ pappoti.

When a vowel follows, the syllable ‘ti’ sometimes becomes ‘c’.

Icc' etaṃ kusalaṃ (Vin. i, 265), icc' assa vacanīyaṃ (D. ī, 47),
paccuttaritvā (JA. vi, 94), paccāharati (Vin. i, 204).

Examples:
iccetaṃ: iti etaṃ; i ti etaṃ (10); i c etaṃ (19); i cc etaṃ (28);
     iccetaṃ (11).
iccassa: iti assa; i ti assa (10); i c assa (19); i cc assa (28);
     iccassa (11).
paccuttaritvā: pati uttaritvā; pa ti uttaritvā (10); pa c uttaritvā
     (19); pa cc uttaritvā (28); paccuttaritvā (11).
paccāharati: pati āharati; pa ti āharati (10); pa c āharati (19);
     pa cc āharati (28); paccāharati (11).

Kvacī ti kasmā? Iti 'ssa muhuttam pi (Vin. ī, 196).

Why say ‘sometimes’? To prevent the operation of this rule in the
following: Iti 'ssa muhuttam pi.

Counter example.
itissa: iti assa: it i assa (10); it i ssa (13); itissa (11).
