NOTES 1. e.g. Siddhahema, 8-2-98 (the aksti-gaña called tailādi) and 8-2-99 (sevādi)
2. Tieken (Hāla's Sattasai, 1983, p. 196-197) rejects Jacobi's analogical explanation for pahuppa-, saying that no certain instances of hutta from bhūta are known. The latter regularly becomes (bhữa. Insler finds Tieken's objection to Jacobi's view valid ("Prakrit Studies' 1, ‘Bulletin D'Etudes Indiennes', 9, 1991, p. 97. Both the scholars accept Pischel's etymology of pahuppa.
Besides Insler puts forth the view that the three homopho nous forms pahupp- are of different origins (pp. 97-105). Against these views there considerable evidence in support of the view held by Jacobi, Turner, Schwarzschild etc.
In the present note I have tried to make out a case for doubling of post-long vowel single consonant in some Prakrit words.
