@how to study the loT

The /loT first person forms are rarely used, because in the sense of "let me", "let us", the /laT is far more common —

/loT /mas → gacchAma "let's go"

/loT /mas → gacchAmaH "we go", "let's go"

First we need to study the second person forms:

**naya- नयॱ + /loT /sip → **naya- नयॱ + /hi''' → **naya- नयॱ + /luk!**naya नय "lead!"

**pazya- पश्यॱ + /loT /sip!**pazya पश्य "look!"

**naya- नयॱ + /loT /thas → **naya- नयॱ + /tam''' → **nayatam नयतम्

**naya- नयॱ + /loT /tha → **naya- नयॱ + /ta''' → **nayata नयत

**naya- नयॱ + /loT /thAs → **naya- नयॱ + /sva''' → **labhasva लभस्व
**naya- नयॱ + /loT /AthAm → **labhethAm लभेथाम्
**naya- नयॱ + /loT /dhvam → **labhadhvam लभध्वम्

The third person forms, too, are used very often —

**nayatu नयतु "let / make him lead"

**nayatAm नयताम्

**nayantu नयन्तु

**labhatAm लभताम्

**labhetAm लभेताम्

**labhantAm लभन्ताम्

**zetAm शेताम् "let him sleep"

**zayAtAm शयाताम् "let both sleep"

**zeratAm शेरताम् "let them3 sleep"

particularly in the /Atmanepada, with forms that do not show the doer

/zru + /yak + /laT /ta → **zrUyatAm श्रूयताम् "let it be heard", "please listen to it"

/zru + /yak + /laT /AtAm!**zrUyetAm श्रूयेताम् "let both be heard"

/zru + /yak + /laT /jha!**zrUyantAm श्रूयन्ताम् "let them3 be heard"

As आस् + /yak + /loT /ta → **AsyatAm आस्यताम् "let sitting take place"

/zIG + /yak + /laT /ta → **zayyate शय्यते "sleep happens"

/zIG + /yak + /loT /ta!**zayyatAm शय्यताम् "let sleep happen" (guNa from /zIG)
