The Stem-formation
The process of the normalisation of endings had begun from the pk.-stage and has continued as vigorously in the ap.-stage. The consonant-endings have been normalised to s-ending. The substantives along with the participle-forms etc. have -ending. The quantity of a final vowel is indecisive in nature e.g. fem.-endings and a are shortened to and but are also retained or even made so metri causa. Even a fem. substantive sk. > ap. 3 is found normalised to fem.-ending or . The -ending in fem. substantives are at times retained or shortened. Sometimes mas. 3-endings are lengthened metri causa or even otherwise to. Thus along with 3, 5, 3 endings in mas. and fem. there are also am, f, endings also.
The lengthening of इ and उ mas endings : णिही 2.3.2.; कली 10.2.9.; गुरू 11.2.3.; मधू 1.12.2. वाई 1.12.4.
The retention of -endings in fem. nouns: 10.2.14.; 1.12.4.; 2.2.9.; णारी 2.10.5; देवी 3.11.6. etc.
