@examples of GyAppr for chris

According to rule GyApprAtipad... and others, sometimes we have to add /su /au /jas to nounbases. These three are respectively singular dual plural.

examples with /su

Even though /su is added to everything, it stays unchanged only after mf nounbases ending in a i u U , and after a few others. Elsewhere, some other rule kicks in in and messes with the s स्. We will see examples of those exceptions later. All the examples here have a i u .

**azva- अश्वॱ + /su → **azvas अश्वस्

**guru- गुरुॱ + /su → **gurus गुरुस्

**RSi- ऋषिॱ + /su → **RSis ऋषिस्

examples with /au

The /au stays unchanged after consonants. So these are the easy examples —

**vidyut- विद्युत् f + /auvidyutau विद्युतौ

The m bases ending in a merge their a with this au into au , because of some rule —

**azva- अश्वॱ m + /au → **azvau अश्वौ

**vRkSa- वृक्षॱ m + /auvRkSau वृक्षौ

**suhRd- सुहृद् mf + /ausuhRdau सुहृदौ

examples with /jas

The /jas stands unchanged after consonants, /GI, /Ap and most U .

**vidyut- विद्युत् f + /jas → **vidyutas विद्युतस् "3+ flashes of lightning"

**suhRd- सुहृद् mf + /jas → **suhRdas सुहृदस् "3+ friends"

The I U most often turn into y य् v व् because of some rule —

**nadI- नदीॱ f + /jas → **nadyas नद्यस् "rivers"

**kukkuTI- कुक्कुटीॱ f + /jas → **kukkuTyas कुक्कुट्यस् "hens"

The basefinal a A merges with this as अस् into As आस्, because of some rule —

**azva- अश्वॱ m + /jas → **azvAs अश्वास् "horses"

**vRkSa- वृक्षॱ m + /jas → **vRkSAs वृक्षास् "trees"
