dUrAd dhUte ca

दूराद्धूते च ONPANINI 82084

When calling someone from afar, if the /sambuddhi is at the end of the sentence, it may be /pluta and acute.

Agaccha bho devadattA3 आगच्छ भो देवदत्ता३ "come, devadattaaaaaa!"

Some folks say that /pANini intended his accent rules to be used only for veda recitation. The fact that the oldest sutramakers, the vartikamakers and the comentarists bothered to make accent sUtras and examples that only apply when calling, when saluting a zUdra शूद्र, when insulting... shows clearly that accent was an everyday thing back then. We no longer use the accent because Sanskrit teachers got lazy at some point — blame that on kaliyuga कलियुग.
