Kc 49

[Kaccāyanabyākaraṇaṃ, Sandhikappa, Pañcamakaṇḍa, Sutta 49]

49. 44. Puthass' u byañjane (129).

Putha icc' etassa anto saro byañjane pare ukāro hoti.

When a consonant follows, the end vowel of ‘putha’ becomes ‘u’.

Puthujjano (D. i, 3), puthubhūtaṃ (D. ī, 89).

Examples:
puthujjano: putha jano; puth a jano (10); puth u jano (49);
     puth u jjano (28); puthujjano (11).
puthubhūtaṃ: putha bhūtaṃ; puth a bhūtaṃ (10); puth u bhūtaṃ (49);
     puthubhūtaṃ (11).

Antaggahaṇena aputhass' āpi sare pare antassa ukāro hoti.

By taking ‘anta’, when a vowel follows, there is also the substitution of
the end vowel of words other than ‘putha’ for the letter ‘u’.

Manuññaṃ (Khu. ī, 119).

Example:
manuññaṃ: mano aññaṃ; man o aññaṃ (10); man u aññaṃ (49);
     man uññaṃ (13); manuññaṃ (11).
