________________ $$ 189-190 ] ON THE MODERN INDO-ARYAN VERNACULARS. (DECEMBER, 1022 pakhdii Before y, lawor v, it becomes y, i, or d respectively, as in saiyag, junotion ; satlagna, united (LSI. VII, 22). There are traces of the dropping of the anusvara, with consequent lengthening of the preceding vowel, in Pr. Before a sibilant, anusvara usually remains unchanged, but it is elided, with lengthening of the pre. ceding vowel, in Skr. vimsatih, twenty, Pr. visam, hence IAV. bts, &c. There are occasional similar cages ho IAV8. An example is Skr. saikhalah, a chain, Pr. sarikala- (Pr.Gr. SS 213), H.B. stkar, A. Kkali. Bg. Hikal, O. fikuli. Similarly a few other sporadio instances. Cf. FLM. 71. Again, from santapayati, he harasses, we have a r atao. in H.R.P.G., M.8. and L. 189. In Dardio languages we occasionally come across casos of nasalization. As examples of nasalization due to contraction (f 185) we may quote : Av. abr-; Wai. er, fire. Av. agi-, Skr. a ksi-; Pas. anc, My.ainch, the eye. In Skr. khuna-; Bs. kyur or kur, a foot, the reason for the nasalization is less obvious. The IAV. Vowels in Detall. 190. As a rule, the IAVs. and Dardic follow the Prakrit and Apabhramsa vowel-scale with great fidelity. Even when, in sporadio cases, Pr. takes vowels different from those apparent in the Skr. form of the same word, the IAVs. and Drd. usually follow the Pr., and not the Skr. Thus :Skr. Ap. IAV. pakva kah, ripe piklodu or G.V pik-orr pak-, ripen, M. pik, a ripe orop, M. pika, P.H.O. pakka, 8. pako, A. paka, Bg. paka, B. pakal, EPh. pak, Kx. pape, all meaning ripe. vrsabha kah, a vasahdi H.B. basaha.
