3. Development of new active intransitive
verbal-stems It is evident from the above-given list of the past passive participles regularly developed or analogically formed from the corresponding Sanskrit past passive participle of the aniț roots, that a large number of Pk. ppp. had a double or 'long' consonant (unaspirated or aspirated in keeping with the Pk. phonology.) in their end-syllable, e.g.
-dụh- / -ddha-, -^n-, -nna-, -tt-/-tta-, -ddh- etc.
In the case of some Sk, intransitive set roots ending in -t-, we have in Prakrit ppp. in -tta- also besides the regular one with the -iya- (< -ita--) suffix. *ksutati khudai
khudiya/khutta truțati/trutyati tuttai
tudiya/tutta sphatati phadai
phadiya/phatta sphitati phidal
phidiya/phitta sphuţati/sphutyati phudai/phuttai phuļiya/phutta
Pischel has explained these as deriving from an assumed ppp. in Sanskrit with the alternative -n- formative presumably current in popular dialect, in line with the ppp. of roots ending in -j-,d,
An alternative explanation however also can be considered. In course of time many of the Pk. 'irregular' ppp. came to be regularized i.e. the -ia- / -iya- suffix came to be attached to them.
mukkia-, dhukkia-, laggia-, cuggia, vaggia, haggia-, tutthia, baitthia, rutthia, kaddhia, vuddhia-, gattia-, juttia-, tuņņia-, puņņia-,
rumdhia-, baṁdhia- etc. In line with these were also formed alternative ppp.
