Kc 29

[Kaccāyanabyākaraṇaṃ, Sandhikappa, Tatiyakaṇḍa, Sutta 29]

29. 42. Vagge ghosāghosānaṃ tatiya-paṭhamā (68).

Vagge kho pubbesaṃ byañjanānaṃ ghosāghosabhūtānaṃ saramhā
yathāsaṅkhyaṃ tatiya-paṭhamakkharā dvebhāvaṃ gacchanti ṭhāne.

In some places, the first and third letters become the double of the
second and fourth letters (voiceless and voiced) respectively of that
group when they are preceded by a vowel.

Es' eva ca jjhānapphalo, yatra ṭṭhitaṃ na ppasaheyya maccu (Khu. i,
32), sele yathā pabbatamuddhani ṭṭhito (Vin. īi, 6), cattāri ṭṭhānāni
naro pamatto (Khu. i, 57).

Examples:
cajjhānapphalo: ca jhānapphalo; ca jjhānapphalo (29); cajjhānapphalo.

[note: in this example the doubling rule also applies to -pphalo. The
reading, however,  at Mmd p. 42 is -phalo without the doubling which
seems to account for why -pphalo is not considered in the above
example. The rule applies to asprrate consonants only. --ja]

yatraṭṭhitaṃ: yatra ṭhitaṃ; yatra ṭṭhitaṃ (29); yatraṭṭhitaṃ.
nappasaheyya: na pasaheyya; na ppasaheyya (28); nappasaheyya.

[note: the above example (nappasaheyya) is out of place here. --ja]

pabbatamuddhaniṭṭhito: pabbatamuddhani ṭhito; pabbatamuddhani ṭṭhito
     (29); pabbatamuddhaniṭṭhito.
cattāriṭṭhānāni: cattāri ṭhānāni; cattāri ṭṭhānāni (29);
cattāriṭṭhānāni.

Ṭhāne ti kasmā? Idha cetaso daḷhaṃ gaṇhāti thāmasā.

Why say ‘in some places’? To prevent the operation of this rule in the
following: Idha cetaso daḷhaṃ gaṇhāti thāmasā.

Counter Examples:
idha cetaso. Here there is no doubling of the ‘c’ of cetaso after the
     vowel ‘a’ of idha.
cetaso daḷhaṃ. There is no doubling of the ‘d’ of daḷhaṃ after the
     vowel ‘o’ of cetaso.

[note: shouldn't the "th" of "thāmasā" be the consonant meant? Kc 28
is enough to prevent doubling of 'c' and 'd'. --ja]

Iti sandhi-kappe tatiyo kaṇḍo.

Thus ends the third section of the chapter on sandhi.
