use w everywhere else. Thus we should have जुण्ण ( जीर्ण), तिण्ण (तीर्ण), ओइण्ण (अवतीर्ण), चुण्ण (चूर्ण), etc., and दिन ( दत्त), आवन (आपन्न), परिसा (प्रतिज्ञा or परिज्ञा) etc. The writers of Jain Mss. have made promiscuous use of both these conjuncts, but by following the rule of व्यवस्थितविभाषा, we can get out of the chaos.
20. Medial single 9 is dropped in Amg. as has been explained above. But more frequently it is changed to as in सवह (शपथ), साव (शाप), साविय (शापित), उवसग्ग (उपसर्ग), पईव (प्रदीप), कासव (काश्यप), पाव (पाप), उवमा (उपमा), महिवाल (महिपाल ), गोवाल (गोपाल), तवइ (तपति).
21. Grammarians hardly make any distinction between a and 7 and give preference to a over the former. The writers of Mss. fully support the grammarians in maintaining the chaotic condition. .
22. Initial य, if not the result of a यश्रुति, is normally changed to ज as in जस (यशस्), जमल ( यमल), जुयल (युगल), जावजीवं (यावजीवम् ), जाइ ( याति). Initial य coming after an उपसग also is frequently changed to ज as in संजोग (संयोग), संजम (संयम), अवजस (अपयशस्); but instances where य is not changed to 37 after a preposition are also common as पओअ (प्रयोग), पओयण (प्रयोजन). The initial य of यथा and यावत् in certain compound expressions is dropped in Amg., as in अहक्खाय (यथाख्यात), अहाजाय (यथाजात), अहापडिरूव (यथाप्रति रूप), अहाछन्द (यथाछन्द), अहासुहं (यथासुखम् ), अहापजत्त (यथापर्याप्त), अहापवित्त (यथाप्रवृत्त), अहासुत्त (यथासूत्र), आवकहा (यावत्कथा) etc.
23. Medial single is at times changed to as in जुहिडिल (युधिष्ठिर ), कालुणवडिया (करुणपतिता or कारुण्यपतिता), फलिहा (परिखा),परियाल (परिवार), चलण (चरण foot), सुकुमाल (सुकुमार ), अणेलिस (अन् + एरिस, अनीदृश) etc.; but the use of . र in Amg. is pretty frequent as in परम, परसु, परामुस, परिक्खित्त, चरण etc.
