the w. So. gave kāữ, or kãu, which is written as i 8/4)..With this may be compared the Qld and Middle,Hindi way of writing with a preceding anusvāra in tss., 'stss., and even tbhs.: Rama is usually, written as i. e Rama, and this would appear to be a compromise between the ts. Rama and the proper tbh. form Rawa or Rawa (beside the other tbh. equivalents of Sanskrit names like Sia, Siya Sita, Lakhana Laksmana, Basitha Vasistha, etc.). So a appears to stand for akawa (=ākrama) (6/21), and the common root jewa 'to eat', which also occurs as jew. in present-day dialects through loss of nasalisation (cf. Hindi jewanar 'feast') and as jim in Rajasthani, is, found written in the Uktivyakti as a (9/8, and elsewhere) and as (15/19). From etymology, and from the equivalents actually in use in the different NIA. speeches, we shall have to establish the pronunciation. This grafa (45/5)= cuba, rather than cumba or cuữa-, and à à (38/17), adverbial correlatives of manner, were probably jewa jewa teua trữa; so af नम (45 / 19 ) beside देवहि नव ( 50 / 10 ), = dewahi nawa; I (45/5, 39/13) =jažai, as in many NIA. speeches, rather than jamai; (39/28)= sāmi for sāữvi (= svāmī); fier ( 33/23 ) = sāwia (sāmyati); (36/11)=bisawa (<viṣamayati); etc. In certain cases, the w would appear to be indicated by a mere nasalisation, an euphonic glide -w- present in these cases making just the anusvara sufficient for -- e. g. bhui (10/14)= bhuữi (<bhūmi); (11/19)= sõari <sowari (MIA. sumara-, OIA. smar).
