(C) CONJUNCT CONSONANTS 820 Conjuncts are treated variously, as is the Prakrits. (a) If initial one consonant, invariably the second, is dropped. In any other position they are either (b) assimilated or (c) separated by Svarabhakti or Varņopajana as Yaska calls it..
(a) Conjuncts initially drop the latter consonant. The only conjuncts that come into consideration here are those (1) having a य,र,ल,व्, in the second place and such others as (2) have a before them.
