2.8.2. According to 018194 freeft U TEGIT: (nufq[98]37f [93]), अनsubstitutes for the final -इof अस्थि 'bone', दधि 'curds', सक्थि 'thigh' and 37fe 'eye' before a vowel-initial ending of triplets starting from the third; e.g., 37-7-391 (instr. sg.: third-triplet ending a ) 3T4T-371 37932, 123:41 ...247, fare-37 +... HOTI, 37729-377 ...378011, but 3472774 (instr.-dat.abl.du), दधिभ्याम्, सक्थिभ्याम, अक्षिभ्याम्, with the endings भ्याम् of the third, fourth, and fifth triplets. In addition, 61819€ Syrenia apud i states that 3F is also seen to occur as a replacement for the - of these stems in Vedic usage. The situation here is comparable to that of 6.4.73 (2.8.1): Since 7.1.75 does not apply specifically in the spoken language alone, thus excluding Vedic usage, 7.1.76 cannot be meant to provide for Vedic usage involving the same endings as covered by the preceding sutra. On the contrary, 7.1.76 has to allow the replacement in places where this is not provided for by the preceding rule : before consonant-initial endings, before endings other than those of the triplets starting with the third, and before elements other than endings. For example : :, 379174: (instr. pl.); green (acc. pl.); 378 oant (instr. sg.) 'which has eyes', 340 (acc.sg.) 'corporeal', with 37871 and 37797- before the suffix act, which is not a vibhakti.
3. The evidence considered here is best accounted for on the thesis that Pānini34 has described a living spoken language of his time35, a language that exhibits traits found in any living language. In particular, Pānini has to take into account that there are relations among variants which can be described in a determinate fashion and others which cannot. Thus, there are instances where elements or operations A and B are complementary, each occurring in a specifiable domain. There are also instances where A and B vary within a stateable domain. In addition, there are instances such that, in a determined domain, there is indeterminate variation. This is the situation for which Panini says that certain operations apply variously (564) in a stated domain. Conversely, there are instances where the operations are determined but the domains in question remain partly indeterminate. This is the situation for which Panini states that given operations are seen to occur under conditions other than those already stated. To reiterate the first example considered : Pānini can indeed specify certain places where long-vowel replacement applies in prior members of compounds (2.1.1). He must also accept, however, that this substitution applies to vowels of items which he cannot specify. Accordingly, he says
