The change of '*' to y noted by Hemacandra in 1.182 in words like Apa', is also seen in the Marāțbi words like 'IT' (from Sk. 1%), 'con' (from Skt. सकल) and 'अनेग' (Sk. अनेक)
The Marathi word 'a', is derived from Sk. Buah. Hemacandra gives the example of the Sk. word sfer, in which, when it changes to Pkt., the
changes to 'F' (1.194).
The change of a to z is found in certain that words like 'ara' from Sk miatt, as noticed by Hemacandra in IV. 262. The Maraths word 'दोदिल' derived from Sk. तुन्दिल (Pkt. तोन्दिल) shows how in Marathi also we find this trend of the change of sai to'g'.
Hemacandra, in 1.217, enunciates the change of to iz in words like 'ata' etc. The Marāțhi word 'afaa' derived from the Sk. word gifs (Pkt. area) is an illustration of this phenomenon. Here the (in gen) changes to 'g' (Elfãsa), The same is the case with the Marathi word 'डोहाळा' derived from the Sk. word दोहद (Pkt. दोहल),
The Marathi word elust is derived from the Sk. word gaala, As in words like cao (Hemacandra 1.203), here the 'z' changes to see
The change of q' to mentiomed by Hemacandra in 1.232, is to be seen in the Marāțbı words like '180' from the Pkt. word 967' (Sk. qa), and e' from the Pkt. word qe (Sk. arg).
The rule of the change of q' to fa enunciated by Hemacandra in 1.231 is to be noticed in the formation of the Marāļhi word 'eta'. It is derived from the Sk. word 926 '. The q' in the word a ' changes to a'. So we have '; and then #aziz' with the changing to (341' according to 1.177.
The change of 77 to fa' (II.126) is found in words like argun' (from Pkt. 2goft, Sk. fort). In the word 'afet', (a change in the form of argut'). we find, how, like Pkt., Marāțbi also seems to use a' for '' (1.240) (with a change in meaning of course).
The '' in some Sk. words like 'FHE' changes to paccording to Hemacandra ,242. This rule finds itself illustrated in the Marātby words like 'जेवण', derived from the Pkt. word 'जेम्मन' (Sk. जमन), 'सावळा' from the Pkt. word 'सामल' (Sk. श्यामल) aud 'कुंवर' or 'कोवार' from Pri. 'कुमर' (sk. Hr).
