@formation of laG

In the /laG tense, the verbbase gets an a अ prefix by luGlaGlRGkSvaD....

In the /laG, the root takes /aT or /AT, by luGlaGlRGkSvaD... or ADajAdInAm —

pac पच् → **apaca- अपचॱ

IkS ईक्ष् → **aikSa- ऐक्षॱ

/as → As- आस्, as in **AsIt आसीत्

As आस् "sit" → As'- आस्ऽॱ , as in Asta आस्त "he sat" (not same as Asa आस "he was", from /as + /liT)

The /laG does not get the same endings as the /laT.

Examples of verbs with flat laG endings —

kR कृ + /laG /tip
→ **akaru- अकरुॱ + /tip
→ **akaru- अकरुॱ + /t'''
→ **akarot अकरोत् "did"

**apaca- अपचॱ + /tip
→ apaca अपच + t त् by itazca
→ !**apacat अपचत् "he cooked"

**pazya- पश्यॱ + /laG /tip
→ apazya- अपश्यॱ + t त्
→ !**apazyat अपश्यत् "he saw"

**akaru- अकरुॱ + /laG /tip
→ akaro- अकरोॱ + /tip by gbH
→ akaro- अकरोॱ + t त् by itazca
→ !**akarot अकरोत् "did"

**aharat अहरत् "took"

nI नी + /laG /tha → **naya- नयॱ + /ta''' → **anayata अनयत

Examples of verbs with bent laG endings —

labh लभ् + /laG /ta → **alabhata अलभत

kR कृ + /laG /jha
→ a अ + **kuru- कुरुॱ + /ata''' by luGlaGlRGkSvaD...
→ !**akurvata अकुर्वत, with v व् like **ajuhvata अजुह्वत

Bit annoyingly, when a verb can get both flat and bent, the flat /ta''' (replacement of /tha " you''' ") sounds the same as the bent /ta ("he") —

dviS द्विष् + /laG /tha → adviS अद्विष् + /ta''' → !**adviSTa अद्विष्ट "y'all hate (flat)"

dviS द्विष् + /laG /ta → !**adviSTa' अद्विष्टऽ "he hates (bent)"
