Pk. रिग्ग्, रिग्घ्, रिंग्, रिक्ख्, रिंख् mean ‘to crawl’. (See CDIAL. 10733, 10735, 10739). * रिग्गूव् and रिग्घव् would be causal bases, verbal nouns would *, *fq" (neuter) * रिग्गवणी, * रिग्घवणी (feminine). These would develop as रिगवणी / रिगोणी, रिघवणी / रिघोणी in the NIA - stage. ( Compare Marathi frau 'to crawl'). In Prakrit there are instances in which a causal base is used in the same sense as the simple base, e.g. fad, चिंतव् ‘to think’. In the light of this रिगवणी, रिघोणी can be taken to mean 'crawling movement'.* It should be noted that feminine verbal nouns in 3 are a characteristic of the NIA-stage.
