Kc 36

[Kaccāyanabyākaraṇaṃ, Sandhikappa, Catutthakaṇḍa, Sutta 36]

36. 47. Kvaci o byañjane (130).

Byañjane pare kvaci okārāgamo hoti.

When a consonant follows, sometimes there is the insertion of the
letter ‘o’.

Atippago (A. īi, 424) kho tāva Sāvatthiyaṃ piṇḍāya carituṃ.
Parosahassaṃ (S. i, 194).

Examples:
atippagokho: atippa kho; atippa g kho (by ‘ca’ of sutta 35); atippa go
     kho (36); atippagokho.
parosahassaṃ: para sahassaṃ; par a sahassaṃ (10); par  sahassaṃ (12);
     par o sahassaṃ (36); parosahassaṃ.

Kvacī ti kasmā? Etha passath' imaṃ lokaṃ (Khu. i, 39), andhībhūto ayaṃ
loko (Khu. i, 39).

Why say ‘sometimes’? To prevent the operation of this rule in the
following: Etha passath' imaṃ lokaṃ, andhībhūto ayaṃ loko.

Counter Examples:
etha passath' imaṃ lokaṃ.
andhībhūto ayaṃ loko.
