kRd atiG कृदतिङ् ONPANINI 31093

The affixes described next are /kRt, except the /tiG.

A /kRt affix is whatever can be added directly to a root.

The /kRt affixes make nounbases usually. As for instance, we can add the /kRt affix /kta directly after pac पच् —

pac पच् + /kta → **pakva- पक्वॱ "cooked"

and we get the nounbase pakva- पक्वॱ. Then we must add a /sup to turn it into a noun —

**pakva- पक्वॱ + /su → !**pakvas पक्वस्

The exceptions to that are the tenses. The tenses themselves, like /laT, are /kRt affixes because we add them directly after roots —

pac पच् + /laT →

and being /kRt affixes allows rule kartarikRt to teach that they usually show the doer.

However, by lasya, the tense has to turn into a /tiG, for instance /tip, and that /tip is no longer a /kRt because of the word atiG अतिङ् in this rule. But it still shows the doer. So we get —

→ pac पच् + /tip → **pacati पचति

which is a verb, not a noun.

Were it not for this rule, the /tiG would be /kRt by sthAnivadAd..., and then by kRttaddhitas... all verbs would be nounbases and all hell would break loose.
