muttam : muppai hittam : hippai
vāhittar : vähippai
pahuttam : pahuppai As rajjai was replaced by rappai, jujjai by juppai, so chijjai (active chimdai) was substituted by *chippai (compare Guj. chipvũ 'to allay thirst'; Aphbramśa has chijjai : piāsa kim chijjai 'Can the thirst be allayed ?' Siddhahema, 8, 4, 434.1). -bbh- replacing -jjhThe pattern
ārahai : araddham: ārabbhai, lahai : laddham : labbhai etc. gave rise to new passives in -bbh- (in the place of earlier-jjh-):
lihai : liddham : libbhai duhai : duddham : dubbhai rumdhai : ruddham : rubbhai
vahai : vodham : vubbhai The unsettled state of passive stem formation in Prakrit is further illustrated by the fact that an alternative passive stem lijjhai is also formed (corresponding to lahai) following the pattern duhai : dujjhai etc. It is also highlighted by the fact that the same root is seen to have in course of time several alternative stems, as illustrated by the following instances : For sun- we have summ-, suvv-, succ ; for simc- we have sicc-, sipp- : for pahav- we have pahucc-, pahupp-, pahutt; for ray- we have rajj-, racc-, rapp; for ci- we have cijj-, cimm-, civy
