Some notes and questions:
> 19. 22. Sabbo caṃ ti (46, 47).
"(46, 47)" refer to sutta numbers in the Saddanīti.
"22" refers to the sutta number in the Rūpasiddhi.
> Sabbo icc' eso tisaddo byañjano sare pare kvaci cakāraṃ pappoti.
Does anyone have any idea how "icc'" (iti) functions here? I
understand "sabbo" to qualify "byañjano" – the whole syllable (the
consonant 't' with the vowel 'i')
> When a vowel follows, the syllable ‘ti’ sometimes becomes ‘c’.

"i ti etaṃ (10" – I wonder if you can use rule Kc 10 to separate a
syllable like 'ti' from a preceding vowel. I understand the rule to be
about separating a preceding consonant from a following vowel.
You can have "it i" but not "i ti".
Mmd (p. 26) adds another step which the Rūpasiddhi disagrees with and
the example above leaves out: after separating the consonant from its
vowel (it i), the second vowel is changed to 'y' (Kc 21) and then the
whole, "ty", is changed to "c" (Kc 19) followed by doubling the "c"
(Kc 28). The argument against applying Kc 21 is that Kc 19 would have
to read "Sabbo caṃ tyo" according to Ruup-.t.
