1. P has noted the forms vacața vacāla (5.2.125) denoting "a talkative person."
(g.2) Cerebralisation: Conditional
n n
1. There is a large section of rules about this (8.4.1-39) given by P pointing out the use of n as either obligatory or optional, some of which may be illustrated:- badartvana: badarivana (8.4.6) Jan-an- (8.4.1921), prahanmaḥ prahanmaḥ (8.4.23), antarhaṇama but, when a region is to be referred to, antarhanana (8.4.24), prayana (8.4.29) prako pana or prakopana (8.4.31), pranindana or pranindana (8.4.33).
2. Elsewhere P has mentioned (5.2.78) a form gramanı.

3. Kty has added the forms, girinadi: girinadı (8.4.10.1), nirvinna (8.4.29.1), dūņasa (6.3.109.5) etc.

1. P records the formations sankata, prakata, utkata and vikata (5.2.29). 2. S. Sen points out that P has used the form nikata in one rule (4.4.73).
3. While P mentions kşetra often in his rules, once (6.2.126) he also uses the form kheta,
4. P has recorded phulla as an irregular formation (8.2.55), to which Kty adds ut phulla (8.2.55.1) and Ptj adds samphulla (III,409.19). Kty there derives it from phat-; but, according to Palsule, it could be better derived from sphṛ- (through sphurta), and I may suggest deriving it from √sphut-.
5. P also records the root /kutt- (DhP X. 23,162).
6. Kty has noted carvaghata carvaghata (3.2.49.2).
7. Ptj notes both kṛtrima and kuttima in one context (on 4,4,20,2).
8. Ptj has recorded the form vaftati (1.259.7).
9. Ptj is found once noting the form udupa (11.356.22) which is usually taken to be a development of ṛtupa.30

1. While P, Kty and Ptj, all, note the form ksudra (-ka), P has once noted the form kşullaka (62.39.).
