kimaH kaH किमः कः ONPANINI 72103

Replace /kim with **ka- कॱ before all /sup.

/kim m + /jas → **ka- कॱ + /jas → **kas कस् by atoguNe

/kim n + /jas → **ka- कॱ + /jas → ka- कॱ + /zI → !**ke के by AdguNaH

/kim f + /jas → !**kAs कास्

Therefore, /kim only stays kim किम् when supodhAtupr... luks its /sup —

kim-vyApAraH किम्व्यापारः "what's his job?"

and when svamornapuMs... luks /su /am —

karman- कर्मन् n + /su + kim- किम् + /su → karma kim कर्म किम् "which work?"
