(3) Prefixion of a vowel: a in alata (for lata), I 94 7, and amṛinala (for mrinala), II 346 43. These are the only two cases of such prefixion: the two words, which are of frequent occurrence, are, at all other times, spelled normally latâ and mrinala.

Occasionally, m is turned into anusvâra, as in ambla, II 790 62, amblavêtasa I 62 5 II 14 26 29 27, ambla, I 15 2.
(5) Reduction of a conjunct: for the sake of the metre (sloka) nn is reduced to n in samâpanâh for samâpannal), in II 498 51. This is the single example of such a change.
(6) Dissolution of a conjunct: the only two examples ambilavêtasa (for amblavêtasa) and hirivera (for hrivêra) have already been quoted as prâkriticisms; see ante., p. lxvi.

On the other hand, the jihvâmiliya is found only in the second portion of the Bower Manuscript, in duhkham, V 3 203 and kahkhôrda, VI 1 223-(b) The long vowel ri occurs three times, in nṛinâm, II 108 32 636 57, and krichchhrâni (for krichchhrdni), II 644 58.-(c) The guttural nasal i, occurs once, in samyan-namayêta, II 916 68.-(d) Assimilated si occurs in manassila, III 6 181; only once; otherwise always manaḥsild, I 97 7 II 848, 850 65 III 55 184, et passim (see Index). See M. Ved. Gr., $78e, p. 71.
