more one comes across *39 e Ma (for (c)a), 93 aviehņa Ma and *17 anunajja TP (probably under the influence of following -jj-). In 365 aggapaapallianaṁ Ti and in 578 padipallio Ti, pallio for pellio may be due to the preceding syllable pao.
For via MS Bh has piva and MS v ia. This variation needs to be discussed. Corresponding to Skt iva the Pkt of the Sattasaf has commonly (v)va, which Pischel ($ 143) explains as an apocopated form of iva, as (t)ti of iti or pi/vi of api. Besides, but considerably less frequently than the latter, a bisyllabic particle is found, via after vowels, in the SattasaT -- possibly accidentally -- only after -o, but, for instance, in the Setubandha also after - and -e: Gathā 337 parivāho via, 443 kuruņāho via, 612 maņoraho via, 767 pariamo via; cf. Setubandha V 77, VIII 101, XII 95 (v.1.), XIV 80; after -a in I 7, VI 71, and after -e in I. 47.
The same form is also found after Anusvāra, but has, as already briefly indicated, several variants there: piva in the Jaina MSS Bh and R as well as in the South-Indian MSS Ma, Ti and Tp which ultimately derive from a Jaina Nāgart MS. MS T, which is otherwise closely related to the MSS Ma, Ti and Tp, usually has via. The transcripts of the SouthIndian MSS often read viva, showing a confusion between pand v, characters which are very similar in the South-Indian alphabets. The Vulgata MSS and s usually have iva (or ia), in which case the preceding Anusvāra is, replaced by -mm (in the Vulgata MSS) or by -rim (in s). The instances are the following. Note that viva of the South-Indian MSS has been silently corrected into piva:
1 park aan via TP, R, K, B, Y( - bia), P, T, S; piva Bh; -mm ia y, 125 pihin via Ti, Tp, Y, P, T; piva Bh, R; -mm iva K, , -im iva S
(Most probably, however, the text should here be emended into
niht via, the accusative nihim being ungrammatical) 290 duvvaanaṁ via Ti, Tp, Y (- vio); piva Ma, Bh, R, T; -mm iva K,
V, -rim iva S, 331 vand in via T; piva Ma, Ti, Tp, Bh, R; -mm iva K, W, Y, S,
336 os ah aṁ via T; piva Ti, Tp, Bh, R; -mm iva K, W, Y, -ím iva S, · 363 das anaṁ via T; piva Bh, R; -mm ia K, -imm iva , Y, -ím iva S,
388 lacchin via U, Y, S; piva Ma, Bh, R,
