M. A. MEHENDALE
lised when it comes into contact with a palatal semi-vowel or a cerebral one respectively. Palatalization :
dyūta > jūda (through *jyūta). mithyā > miccha (through *mnichyā).
- madhye > -majjhe (through * majhye). Cerebralisation :
pratima > padima. This tendency to cerebralise a dental after is not widely noticed in Țākki. There are many examples where the dental following r is kept in tact. Cl. - pāvudo < -prāvītaḥ ; -vutto <-vyttah ; vippadiva <vipratipa.
Conjunct consonants : like the single consonants, these also can be treated in two ways, initially and medially. These two again divide themselves in homorganic and heterorganic groups. According to the general principle of MIA assimilation, in homorganic groups the second prevails and in heterorganic groups the stronger of the two prevails. There are no examples where homorganic conjuncts come initially. The examples for heterorganic are :
Sk. skholm > khalantaa. Sk. pratima > padima ; prasara > pašaru, etc.
MEDIAL CONJUNCTS : (a) HOMORGANIC GROUPS : Sk. -cch-> -chh- cf. gacchasi. Sk. -tt-> -tt- cf. -vuttosi < vyttosi. Sk. -kt- > -tt- cf. juttam < yuktai. Sk. -bdh- > -ddh- cf. laddhu < labdhaḥ.
(b) HETERORGANIC GROUPS : 1. Consonant groups with a semi-vowel.
Sk. -thy-> -cch- cf. miccha < mithyā. Sk. -dhy-> jjh- cf. tanumajjhe < tanumadhye. Sk. -kr->-kk- cf. vikkinia < vi + kri-. Sk. -T->-ji- cf. jajjara- <jarjara-. Sk. -ty-> -tt- cf. -putta < .putra ; annatta< anytra. Sk. -TI-> -tt- cf. dhutta < dhūtta. Sk. -dr-> -dd- cf. ruddo < rudrah. Sk. -td->dd- Daddura < Dardura.
Sk. -01- > -pp- vippadīva <vipratipa ; ppadimā < pratimă. In all these examples one fact clearly stands out, that the semivowel is dropped. In the first two examples the dentals th and dh have changed to corresponding palatals ch and jh (cf. the assimilation of dentals to palatals and cerebrals above). 2. Consonant groups with a sibilant.
Sk. -ks-> -kkh- kadakkha < kasākşa. Sk. -sth->-th- kasthamayi < kästhamayi. Sk. -$t- >-th- duttha < duşta; moutthi <musti. Sk. -st- otth- natthi < nästi.
