developed into 9. That it was actually so in some cases at least is clearly demonstrated by (i) 99 rhyming with fama and Rt rhyming with art, and by (ii) Joe (faryo = fà35= Faetoft) with the genitive ending instead of re.
Such interchange of 7, is seen also in the language of the Dohā-Kosas and in Old Bengali. For the development of medial °° into y under limited conditions in Own. see Tessitori, $ 4 (5).
On the other hand in some other cases the orthographic origin of q is suggested by a glance at the variants : Cfalsely reads a for x 15 times, B 7 times and A 4 times.
§ 10. 2 is read for medial or terminal
(a) in the stem: 19 (= = a) 22a, 72 ( = 575 = fat) 266, 105d etc., 449% (= 92 = 2a) 441, 3173 ( =3153=3ifah) 148a, fasa (=ayz = fanteft) 200d, perhaps also opi (unë 'as if') 53d, 0121 ( as if') 1700, 9143 (=9155 = 1991) 183d, ( = 5 = mat) 205d, Pk.' 24 (= 45% = BSH) 40a.
(b) in the ending: 3707 for oso in the enlarged' instrumentals 68c; affumu 91c, 1777 91d.
§ 11. Conversely is read for you in as (= HITJE *7477:) 220, SISTË (= 377 i. e. 31 ufafra) 45a, BET (= 347124 =
of) 1595, asie (= 721 i. e. galeri) 169a. The fact that C wrongly reads for u in 17 cases, B in 13 cases and A in 9 cases suggests that most of the above-considered cases may be simply orthographic.
§ 12. Y a-śruti. In our text the conditions regulating the appearance of the fagfa can be formulated thus : forfat is obligatory between 3p 31 and 37 311, forbidden before or 33 and facultative in other cases. The solitary exception free (only in B) 1376 is not quite certain as the particular text where it occurs has considerably suffered in transmission. .
§ 13. q and 7. Initially both of or I appear. Non-initially, when single, ou alone is permitted; when double or compounded with a mostly it is written for and quite casually on.

The language of the Pk. Gāthās of the Sr. is considerably influenced by Apabhrathsa. Henco at several placos the illustrations from these Gåthās too have been included in this treatment. On the other hand, doubtful or obscure cases have not been touched upon as a rule,
