The word : here indicates that even in cases where specific Apabhramsa rules are laid down sometimes Prakrit and Sauraseni forms may also be used.
ओ
In such cases it would be more proper to consider the Prakrit and Sauraseni forms found in Apabhramga as borrowings from the former languages rather than to consider the Apabhramsa phonetic rules as lax. 330. सि - आदौ ( नाम्नः अन्त्यस्वरस्य ) दीर्घही ( भवतः ) ।
In Apabhramsa the ending vowel of nouns is, generally, shortened or lengthened before सि (Nom. sing.)
