followed or preceded by another in the adjoining syllable. Secondly, out of the two g's thus occurring in juxtaposed syllables, one that stands in the initial or final syllable of the word is preserved; the other becomes . But when both the 's occur medially or if the word is dyssyllabic, it is the final that is preserved. In the second is essential for the individuality of the form and also it is long. So the preceding though initial has to change. Thus the process of dissimilation plays here an active role. In the variants is read for 25 times in A, 16 times in B, 30 times in C. For the general tendency of > in OwR. See TESSITORI § 4 (1). § 23. becomes .

(a) In individual words: फरसउ (= फरु = परुष enlarged ) 180, 1440, 2220, पलट्टिहि ( = पलुट्टिहि ) 1170; उत्तंग ( = उत्तुंग ) 246, चउग्गणी ( = चउग्गुणी i. e. चतुर्गुणा ) 1567, कुसम ( = कुसुम ) 183f, 193d, Pk कुक्क (=) 16 b. In the last four cases the second of the two 's in the consecutive syllables is dropped. The cases णिवडब्भर ( = णिवडु i. e. निबिडोद्धुर) 470, सलिलब्भव ( = सलिलु = सलिलोद्भव 666, रहसच्छल (= रहसु° = रभसोच्छल ) 1790, सूरग्गउ (= सूरु° = सूरोद्गमः ) 1816, गंधकरिस (= गंधु° = गन्धोत्कर्ष ) 1950, सुकुलग्गय (= सुकुलु = सुकुलोद्गत ) 1520 may have an orthographic origin. Among the Mss., C exhibits a stronger tendency than either A or B to drop the 3-hook. A drops it 5 times, B 5 times, but C 18 times. The figures exclude the cases of nominative singular forms without the -hook. For the tendency of > in OwR. see TESSITORI, § 5 (1).
(b) The ending of the nominative sing. of the masculine -stems is dropped sometimes when it is followed by an enclitic: इक-इ ( = इकु -इ = एकम् +अपि ) 99d, अन्न- इ ( = अन्नु = अन्यद् + अपि ) 1176, पुण-वि ( = पुणु वि = पुनः+अपि ) 137f, etc.
(c), prefixed to adjectival words as an emphatic element becomes A. For the examples see § 48, ii.

and appearing as have been previously dealt with under §§ 10, 11. Further, 'उ° becomes व in णेवर ( = णेउर = नूपुर) 27d, 171d, आवलय (= आउ° = आकुल enlarged) 113d, गोवर (= गोउर = गोपुर ) 178d; Pk. पावस ( = पाउस = 1536.
