संझा (संध्या). It is possible in the first instance to turn the अनुस्वार into परसवणं. Thus we can have विन्झ. . 47. Under some circumstances, Amg., like other Prakrits, creates a conjunct even though there is none in the original Sanskrit word. Usually this happens by the doubling of a single consonant after g or 39, but sometimes even after other vowels. Thus we have de (तैल), सोत्त (स्रोतस्), पेम्म (प्रेमन्), जोवण ( यौवन), सेव्वा (सेवा), धेज (ध्येय), सो चिय (स चैव), सोग्गइ (सुगति), एक (एक), दइव्व (दैव), कोउहल्ल (कौतूहल), तुण्हिक्क (तूष्णीक), नक्ख (नख), दुगुल्ल (दुकूल), जड़ (जड), उज्जु (ऋजु). Of course it is often an attempt to maintain the quantity of the word.

SANDHI 48. In Sanskrit when two vowels come together, whether in one and the same word or between two words, they always coalesce ; but in Amg., as in other Prakrits, all icoalescence of vowels is optional. The vowels between two words of a sentence hardly coalesce; but even within a word or compound expression they sometimes do not as in रजबलविवद्धणअट्टयाए (राज्यबलविवर्धनार्थाय), साइरेगअवासजायगं (सातिरेकाष्टवर्षजातम् ). At : the same time there are some rules which govern this process of coalescence when it is permissible. I give below a few types of Sandhi.

य+ अवि-यावि __ अ + अ = अ if followed by a conjunct- मरण + अन्त =मरणन्त; न + अस्थि =नस्थि अ +इ=ए- राय + इसि =राएसी; वास + इसी= वासेसी
