NOTES-VIII. i. 31-66.
31-36. These six Sutras give genders of certain words in Prakrit. Normally the gender of a word in Prakrit is determined by the gender of its corresponding word in Sanskrit. Daviations from this alone are to be mentioned here. arco in sk. is both mas. and fem., but by this rule it is always mas. in Prakrit. 32. Herh etc., Neuter words ending in and a become mas. in Prakrit; e. g. Ê from and जम्मो from जन्मन्. 33. अज्ज वि सा सवइ ते अच्छी = अद्यापि सा शपति ते अक्षिणी, where अच्छी is Mas. Nom. Plu. नच्चावियाइ तेणम्ह अच्छीहिं = नर्तितानि तेनास्माकमक्षाणि, where अच्छीइ has kept its orginal gender. FET....
d aca fhgh it appears that according to that the words aa and are mas. even in sk. and so they need not be included in the galleriu. 34. fagare Tu H a = laha: Ju: मृग्यन्ते. 35. इमेति तन्त्रेण etc., the termination इमन् stands for त्व of the abstract noun as also for a possessive termination. 36 बाहाए जेण धरिओ एकाए = बाहुना येन धृत एकेन.
37. Arbaar is the grammar ( T ) of the sk. language. ct is really sit; the #17 indicates that the vowel preceding this sīì is to be dropped.
43. When one member of the conjunct is dropped the preceding short vowel is to be lengthened to keep the quantity of the word. Thus qzasa first becomes qehs, and when 7 is dropped the preceding 37 is lengthened. Similarly
349 = 699 = Tha. See also VIII. 11. 89 and 92. The conjuncts in question enumerated here are 74, , 1, 4, FRI, 67, , 67, 69, FT, ET, F and F.
44-66. These Sutras describe the several changes that 37, first or second in the word undergoes. Thus er is changed to 31 as in Hihet; to gas in talqot or fèft, to 375 as in aaइअ; to ई as in हीर for हर; to उ as in झुणि for ध्वनि; to ए as in सेज्जा for शय्या; to ओ as in पोम्म for पद्म; it is dropped in words 3701q and styy
