A STUDY OF THE GUJARATI LANGUAGE
In one case, however, -ia - > -i- These are the occurrences of the past participles in OG. În OG, past participles of the type -iu m. and - iu n. are common; they have developed from the late MIA - iau and - iau.
Historically, there is no explanation for -iau, -iau; it can only be explained as Sk. -itaḥ m., - itam n., Pk. - ia m. and - ia n. further extended in late MIA period with u and -u to conform to the ending of m. and n. nouns, with which these participles agree in gender, number and case. Proto-Gujarati participles -iau and - iaŭ are, therefore, analogically formed. - ii > i: (Sk. kānicit, Pa. kānici) käi. some',
(Sk. asīti ) asi eighty'. -if-> -1 -: (Sk. vicinoti * viinai > vinai > 'gathers'.

Non-final groups of the type - jā - and - uā - are not contracted in OG : hathiāru "weapon', suāri “having caused to sleep'. Similarly - oi - is not contracted :joisi 'astrologer! Groups such as - ie - which are permissible only non-finally, remain uncontracted in OG, naliera
coconut'. Of these, - oi - is contracted to -0 - in the later period, while others remain uncontracted till present-day Gujarati.
