Indeclinable Combination (Hema. 3/1). When Combination occurs in Indeclinable words, it is called Indeclinable Combination. Though the Combination is included in vowel Combination explained above, for detailed consideration this Combination is being explained here separately. (i) When ‘api?/'avi’occurs after any word, 'a'
may alternatively be dropped (Hema: 1/41);
e.g.,
(iii)
keņa + api/avi = keņapi/ keņavi or keņāpi/ keņāvi kim + api/avi = kimpi/ kiṁvi or kimapi/ . kimavi When ‘iti' occurs after any word, “i' disappears (Hema. 1/42); e.g., kim + iti = kimti juttaṁ + iti = juttarti When ‘iti' occurs after a vowel, “i' is dropped and 'ti' is doubled and becomes 'tti’ (Hema. 1/42); e.g., tahā + iti = tahātti-tahatti (and this type)
e.g., ha-ha. (See Rule - 8-i) puriso + iti = purisotti-purisutti (such a man) e.g.; so-su. (See Rule - 8-ii) When an Indeclinable word begins with a 'vowel and the Indeclinable word follows immediately after a pronoun, the vowel may alternatively be dropped (Hema.1/40); e.g.,
(iv)
