Re: Kc 21

In my previous message I wrote the following:

I have since found the  rule (Kc 41: byañjano ca visaññogo) that
covers the  above. Here's the relevant part from U Nandisena's
translation:

Caggahaṇena tiṇṇaṃ byañjanānam antare ye sarūpā, tesam pi lopo hoti.
Agyāgāraṃ (Vin. ī, 145); paṭisanthāravutyassa (Khu. i, 67).

By taking ‘ca’, when there are three consonants, there is also elision
of those consonants that are similar.

Examples:
agyāgāraṃ: aggi āgāraṃ; aggy āgāraṃ (21); agy āgāraṃ (41); agyāgāraṃ.
paṭisanthāravutyassa: paṭisanthāravutti assa; paṭisanthāravutty assa
(21); paṭisanthāravuty assa (41); paṭisanthāravutyassa.

Best wishes,
