________________ SAMDESAKASAKA appears in पंडित ( = पंडित ) 20e, मणमत्थ ( = मन्मथ ) 8300, तत्तक्खणे ( तत्क्षणेत्य पडिल्लिय( cf. पडिलिङ 106d, see § 27)162d, fff(from अलिकय ( = अलीक enlarged)211a, Pk. सयलज 82α, तिलक = तिलक ) 1680, ( = सई ° = शैलजा ) 40. 18 Three novel cases based on assimilation are पंडित (= पाण्डिc ) 190, णित्तु ( = नित्यम् ) 202d ( beside णिच 115d) and रत्थ ( = रथ्या ) 218 ) (beside 1756). § 40. Other casual phenomena. in i. Consonantal assimilation is found in फोफल ( = फोप्फल: * पोप्फल = पूगफल ) 1886. cf. also 46c (BC) भिंभल = *भिन्भल = विब्भल = विह्वल. Note also vocalic assimilation in सित्रण ( for सिविण ) 154a from सुविण ( = खप्न ). Besides these cases of regressive assimilation, we have fasa (§ 35, i)for fa a case of progressive assimilation. ii. Me tathesis explains पावयण' (= पावणय = प्रापणक) 28e, and विसुंठलय 1150 for विसंकुलय. Both may be simply orthographic. iii. Loss of a syllable (or a consonant): (a) haplological in दी उन्ह ( = दीहुन्ह = दीर्घोष्ण ) 836, 1110, Pk. 900, जाइसि ( = जाइसिसि ) 41d, gitaftu ( = gqzfafagr=g:afuar) 85b, 147a; similarly fra 115c to be somehow derived from दुक्ख + खिद्य ( ? ) ( cf. Pk. खिज्जिअ = खिन्न ) ; छेअर ( = छेययर = छेकतर ) 180, पहियण पहिययण = पथिकजन ) 316, णिद्दयर (=fagaur=fidant) 67d; (b) relating to a medial followed by a conjunct in कंटग्ग ( = कंटयग्ग = कण्टकाय ) 2066. iv. Contamination appears responsible for V (in r 95c, 140). If fr (49c, Pk. 37a) cannot be satisfactorily explained as made up of + (participial suffix, see § 46. ii.), we have to assume that it has resulted from गहिर ( = गभीर) being contaminated with गुहा or कुहर. cf, SHAHIDULLAH, P. 35 mid. Law of Shortening of the Finals 41. Following ALSDORF (see As. p. 7) we can thus express the law: the most outstanding change that characterises the Ap. linguistic stuff as contrasted with the Pk. one is the shortening of the final vowel of all the mono- or poly-syllabic words. In other words, all the purely Ap. words (including the feminine bases) always end in a short vowel. This powerful tendency is intersected by (1) Prakritisms and (2) lengthening due to secondary contraction. The latter counter-tendency gains much ground later on and becomes a normal feature of the New Indian phonology. Jain Education International = For Private & Personal Use Only www.jainelibrary.org
