Kc 37

[Kaccāyanabyākaraṇaṃ, Sandhikappa, Catutthakaṇḍa, Sutta 37]

37. 57. Niggahitañ ca (146).

Niggahitañ c' āgamo hoti sare vā byañjane vā pare kvaci.

When a vowel or a consonant follows, sometimes there is the insertion
of the niggahita.

bhikkhave purimaṃ jātiṃ sarāmi, aṇuṃthūlāni sabbaso (Khu. i, 54),
manopubbaṅgamā dhammā (Khu. i, 13).

Examples:
cakkhuṃ udapādi: cakkhu udapādi; cakkhu ‘m udapādi (37); cakkhuṃ
     udapādi.
avaṃsiro: ava siro; ava ‘m siro (37); avaṃsiro.
yāvañ c' idha: yāva ca idha; yāva c a idha (10); yāva c idha (12);

Kvacī ti kasmā? Idh' eva naṃ pasaṃ santi, pecca sagge pamodati (Khu.
vi, 82; Aṅ. i, 311);  na hi etehi yānehi, gaccheyya agataṃ disaṃ (Khu.
i, 59).

Why say ‘sometimes’? To prevent the operation of this rule in the
following: Idh' eva naṃ pasaṃsanti, pecca sagge pamodati;  na hi etehi
yānehi, gaccheyya agataṃ disaṃ.

Caggahaṇena visaddassa ca pakāro hoti. Pacesssati, vicessati vā (Khu.
i, 19).

By taking ‘ca’ there is also ‘pa’ of ‘vi’. Pacesssati, vicessati vā.
