SAMDESARĀSAKA Hc. IV. 420) 896, 100d, 1061, 1621.m-cf. Ardha-Māgadhi afsuite = fa+stata; i.. 0. 3°>3 in VIST (="Thi. e. +VY5) 1100, 223a-beside Vects at 91a, 4974 (=T8374 = fra enlarged) 124d-beside f839 222e. For the loss of the final o of yfir <) in a compound when followed by a dissimilar vowel see PiscHEL, $ 163, where it is said to be mostly confined to Ardha-Māgadhi.
§ 28. (b) Besides the above-considered cases, there is a series of contractions which possesses a morphological interest :
firstly, osy is contracted to 311 at the end (i) of the enlarged masc./neu. 37-stems: paro (=p i. e. enlarged with #: anel") in तूरारव 218d and PK. तंडुला (= तंडुलय i. e. तण्डुल enlarged) in तंडुलाखीरी 16a; (ii) of the nom. acc. plur. forms of masc./neu, 37-stems: e. g., becomes a 1660 (see § 41).
secondly, ct is contracted to at the end of the enlarged fem. 5-stems. Thus Sk. Agf appears in Ap. as HR in accordance with the Law of Shortening of the Finals (see § 41). When enlarged with "कः खार्थे", it becomes मंजरिय. Finally मंजरिय is contracted to H (2100) and consequently it converges,with the tatsama üht. For other such cases in our text see § 41 (d);
thirdly, following the analogy of such enlarged feminines in y, final out of whatever origin is in some cases contracted to ई: pret. part. चडिय becomes चडी 161d and probably तुट्टिय becomes ad 786, qirasa (= arrasar?) becomes que 790, offee (162 d) becomes qiset 89b;
finally, for the instrumentals in <°59 see § 56.
This tendeney has fully worked out itself in Gujarātī. See TURNER, § 27 (3), (4); Dave, p. 6.
§ 29. Loss of initial vowel. ape ( = 397 = 39 Fr?)95 d, ( = 377007 = 37204) 146a, traz ( = 371) 1836, Pk. 340.
cf. Tessitori $ $ 2 (4), 5 (3).
§ 30. Like the ya-śruti, va-śruti too appears in stray cases (between 3 and a following vowel, as also between any two vowels) to bridge up the hiatus created by the elision of

See Hp. p. 154, $ 25; As. p. 7 ff. This raises a strong presumption in favour of there being for at those places where ALSDORF would rather have anfaa. See Hp. p. 159 foot-note,
