LA] 1. Metrical rhyming : A few examples may be cited of the hesitation of spellings in thyming, ultimately ending in the disappearance as a rule in the Mg. forms.
(i) 3 rhymed with 37: ___ विलासु-भास ( I. 1. ); मानु-युवान ( I. 6. ); सुविसालु - वरमाल ( I. 22. ); दीतु (दी)- मजीठ ( I. 23 ); अणंग-भुजंगु ( I. 26. ) तरंगु- चंग ( I. 28 )
मानु- पराण ( II. 7.); अंगारु - मनोहार (II. 40 ); संतापु- पाप ( II. 42 ) . अनंग-भुअंगु ( II• 65.)
(ii) rhymed with 37:
सोवनवानि- समान ( I. 13.); मूंठि- मजीठ ( I. 125. ) भालि - विशाल ( II. 55 ). [A] 2. Terminational:
(i) Hesitation between उ and अ. in Direct case. This hesitation is found in Ap. stage also. In text for example,
विमल कपोल- सुविसालु (I. 22.) अंग (I. 20a)-अंगु (I. 34 b; 43a)
अनंग (II. 65a)- अनंगु ( II 16b; 60,a ) etc. (ii) Hesitation between final 31 and 37 in Direct case pl. This is also found in Ap. Stage :
मुहरिया; कुहरिया- सहकार ( II. 5b.) पिका (II. 7b.)- गुण ( II. Ta); गहगह्या (II. 7a)
थ्या-अंत (II. 3b.) । (ii) Hesitation between 311 and 27 in the 31 ending sk. fem. nouns. The case is the case of shortening a final vowel. Similarly, ई ( tem. ending ) is shortened to s and the final इ at times disappears.
(a) As a further change the अ-ending thus arrived <sk. आ-ending fem. is again generalised by the addition of e. g. attor ( II. 1.b. ); FETÈT (II. 1b. 2) जांघडी (to be pronounced as जांघडि ) (II. 46a; 68a). . ___आ and a hesitation in case of fem. आ-ending skt. nouns. .
भास< skt. भाषा (I. Ib. );माल <sk. माला ( I. 4a.); आण<sk. अण्णाsk. आज्ञा (I. 8a.) etc. by the side of अवला (I. 20b.)-अवल ( I. 34a.) वाहुलता ( I. 25a.); कला ( II. 42a.); सांकल <sk. .शृङ्खला (II. 10b.) The more
usual is the shortening of sk: TT to 37. The tendency is normal also in ". Ap. stage.
