Kc 22

[Kaccāyanabyākaraṇaṃ, Sandhikappo, Dutiyakaṇḍo, Sutta 22]

22. 28. Evādissa ri pubbo ca rasso (52).

Saramhā parassa evassa ekārassa ādissa rikāro hoti, pubbo ca saro
rasso hoti navā.

After a vowel, there is substitution of the letter ‘e’ which is the
beginning of ‘eva’ for the syllable ‘ri’, and the previous vowel
occasionally becomes short.

Yatha-r-iva (D. i, 85) vasudhātalañ ca sabbaṃ, tatha-r-iva guṇavā
supūjaniyo.

Examples:
yathariva: yathā eva; yath ā eva (10); yath ā riva (22); yath a riva
     (22); yathariva (11).
tathariva: tathā eva; tath ā eva (10); tath ā riva (22); tath a riva
     (22); tathariva (11).

Navā ti kasmā? Yathā eva, tathā eva.

Why say ‘occasionally’? To prevent the operation of this rule in the
following: Yathā eva, tathā eva.

Iti sandhi-kappe dutiyo kaṇḍo
