91 SEMI-VOWEL AND ASPIRATE
The semi-vowel forms the second member and hy gives jjh ज्झ and ho gives bbh ब्भ : गुह्य = गुज्झ secret : सह्य = सज्झ bearable ; अभिरुह्य = अभिरुज्झ having climbed ; परिगृह्य : परिगिज्झ having taken ; अनुग्राह्य अणुगेज्झ worthy of acceptance; जिह्वा = जिब्भा tongue ; विह्वल = विन्भल troubled.
Pali shows interchange of place of hy = yh and ho = vh in conformity with similar changes of the aspirate and nasals. In the case of semi-vowels, however, AMg. appears to preserve an older aspirate than both Sanskrit and Pāli.
GROUPS WITH LIQUIDS

92 Of the two liquids, ल assimilates र : निर्लज्ज - निल्लज्ज shameless; दुर्लभ = दुलह difficult to get ; निर्लेप = निल्लेव without
dirt.
93 LIQUIDS AND SIBILANTS
A. Liquid followed by a sibilant gives a regressive assimilation. दर्शन = दस्सण sight; स्पर्श = फस्स touch.
The more usual method in this case is to avoid assimilation and follow anaptyxis or substitute an anusvāra.
B. In a group of a sibilant followed by a liquid the sibilant assimilates the liquid. मिश्र = मिस्स mixed ; श्रेष्ठ = सेटू superior ; श्लक्ष्ण - सण्ह fine ; लाग्ध्य = सग्घ praise ; सहस्र = सहस्स thousand ; तमिस्रा = तमिस्सा darkness ; विस्र = विस्स bad smelling.
