THE PLACE OF THIS DIALECT AMONG THE PRAKRITS. With this grammatical survey it is possible to define the position of the dialect of Pravacanasāra in the scheme of Prakrit dialects. This dialect, in fact, has [p. 119:] many features common to Prakrits, as a whole, such as the loss of vowels and Ir and of the dipthongs ai and au; general tendency towards changing the intervocalic consonants; reduction of the three sibilants to one, the reduction of the nasals, and the tendency to assimilate the conjunct when it is not simplified by anaptyxis. Words like metta, vihana, vuddha etc. may be found in almost all dialects. With respect to vowel changes and the consequent forms of words like iddhi, isi, orālija, ohi, dosa, nisējjā, pagada, vasaho (bho in ArdhaMāgadhi), veuvvio, samvudo etc., they are a common property with AMg. of the Svetāmbara canon; some of them are found in Jaina Māhārāştri of the Svetāmbara
