ek%Aco dve prathamasya ONPANINI 61001
Replace the first onevowel part with two.mmmmmmmmm ^ M+ C+ 516

Sometimes, we have to " reduplicate" roots, that is, we replace the first part of the root with two of the same. The "first part" of a root is everything up to the first vowel. Examples --

The first part of yudh is yu

so "reduplicate yudh" means "replace yudh with yu + yudh"

The first part of nI is nI

so we replace nI with nI + nI

The first part of ad is a

so we replace ad with a + ad

(See also the exceptions below, ajAderdvi and nan;d;rAssaMyo.)

We reduplicate when the rules liTidhA sanyaGoH zlau caGi below say so. In other words, whn the root is before the affixes liT san yaG zlu caG.

For instance, when rakS "protect" is before a liT affix, rule liTidhA replaces its ra with rara --

rakS + liT tip → rakS + Nal →liTidhA rarakS + Nal → rarakSa "he protected"

(But double) the second (onevowel part) of a vowelstarter.mmmmmmmmm ^ C+ 517

Exception to ekAcodve. The roots that start with a vowel and have at least two vowels replace their second one-vowel part with two.

Example. The root aTiSa means "be about to wander" and starts with a vowel. When it reduplicates, we change --

a Ti Sa a Ti Ti Sa → aTiTiSa "want to wander"

as in --

aTiSa + laT tip aTiTiSati "he wants to go walkabout"

See exception nandrA right below.

But not the n d r b that start a cluster.mmmmmmmmm ^ C+ 518

Exception to ajAderdvi. If the second part of a vowel-starter root starts with n d r b plus other consonants, we don't reduplicate that n d r b, but just the rest of the second part.

Examples. The roots undiSa and Urnu have second parts ndi rnu. According to the previous rule we would have replaced ndi with two ndi and rnu with two rnu. But this exception says that we replace one di with two di and one nu with two nu --

u ndi Sa u n di di Sa → undidiSa

U rnu U r nu nu → Urnunu →Natvam UrNunu

As in --

und + san + laT tip →sanyaGoH undidiSa + tip undidiSati "he wants to wetten"

Urnu + Nal →liTidhA Urnunu + Nal →acoJNiti Urnunau + a →ecoya UrnunAva →Natvam UrNunAva "he hid"

KAZIKA (laghu) acaH parAH saMyogAdayo nadarA dvir na bhavanti. nuzabdasya dvitvam. UrNunAva. UrNunuvatuH. UrNunuvuH.

The root undiSa means "want to wetten" and comes from und "wetten" + san.

The original rule does not mention b, but it is added by a vArttika, so that we get ubjijisati "wants to press down" from ubj "press down, opress".

stammer is the first (part).mmmmmmmmm ^ M+ C+ 519

When we replace one thing with two by the above rules, the first copy is called the stammer.

Example:

the stammer of papac is the first pa.

ubhe: abhyastam ONPANINI 61005
stammered are both.mmmmmmmmm ^ M- C+ 520

When we replace one part of a root with two by the above rules, the new root is a stammered.

Example. When ekAcodve replaces root pac with papac, by making one pa into two pa,

the stammer is the first pa

and the stammered is papac

There are two sorts of stammered --

(1) Those made by this rule (such as papac).

(2) Those mentioned in the next rule, jakSityA (such as jAgR).

jakSa~ jAgR daridrA cakAsR zAsu dIdhIG vevIG (are stammered).mmmmmmmmm ^ C+ 521

These seven special roots, called jakSAdi roots, are stammered just because this rule says so, even though they weren't made by reduplicating other roots.

All seven of them are lukclass.

Being a stammered makes rule adabhyastAt work. Examples --

jAgR + laT jhi jAgR ( stammered ) + ati''' →ikoyaNaci jAgrati "they are awake"

jAgR + laT tip →jAgrovi jAgarti "is awake"

zAs + laT jhi zAs ( stammered ) + ati''' →adabhyastAt zAs + ati''' → zAsati "they command"

zAs + laT tip → zAsti "he commands"

Being stammered also prohibits the num from nAbhyastAccha. So we say daridratam "(him) that is poor", not daridrantam --

daridratamM brAhmaNamM pazyAmi "I can see that the brahmin is poor"

Even though these seven are stammered, they have no stammer, because they do not come from reduplicating anything else. Therefore, liTidhA does work on them --

jAgR + Nal jajAgAra "he woke up"

KAZIKA abhyastam iti vartate. jakSa ity ayaM dhAtuH ityAdayazca anye SaT dhAtavaH abhyasta-saMjJA bhavanti. seyaM saptAnAM dhAtUnAm abhyasta-saMjJA vidhIyate. jakSa bhakSahasanyoH ityataH prabhRti vevIG vetinA tulye iti yAvat. jakSati. jAgrati. daridrati. cakAsati. zAsati. dIdhyate, vevyate ityatra abhyastAnAm AdiH ityeSa svaraH prayojanam. dIdhyat iti ca zatari vyatyayena sampAdite n' .AbhyastAc chatuH iti numaH pratiSedhaH.

You might be asking yourself why the rule is not worded as jakSityAdayasH sapta. Thing is, pANini forgot about vevIG. Aliquando bonus dormitat Homerus, as we say in the South.

Before liT, ( reduplicate) stammer-less root.mmmmmmmmm ^ M+ C+ 522

Roots reduplicate before liT. Unless they are already reduplicated.

Examples --

pac + liT tip → pac + Nal →ata::upa pAc + Nal pApAca →hrasvaH papAca "he cooked"

kSip + Nal →puganta kSep + Nal kSekSepa →halAdizzeSaH kekSepa →hrasvaH kikSepa →kuhozcuH cikSepa "threw"

vac + Nal →ata::upa vAc + a vA + vAc + a →liTyabhyAsa uvAca "said"

Even though the jakSAdi are stammered roots, they were never reduplicated, so they are stammerless and this rule does work on them --

jAgR + Nal →acoJNiti jAgAr + Nal jAjAgAr + a →hrasvaH jajAgAra "woke up"

Notice that the root never gets zap za etc before liT affixes. That's because kartarizap, tud'-AdibhyaH zaH etc. only work before hard, and liT replacers are soft .

( reduplicate) before zlummmmmmmmm ^ M+ C+ 524

The zluclass roots get zlu added. Then the zlu reduplicates the root by this rule, and disappears by pratyayasyaluk;zlu;lupaH.

hu + laT tip → hu + zlu + tip hu + hu + zlu + tip →pratyayasyaluk;zlu;lupaH hu hu tip →hardsoft hu + ho + ti →kuhozcuH juhoti "sacrifices"

dA + laT jhi dadA + jhi → dadA + ati''' →znAbhya dadati "they give"

The caG affix appears in some luG. Examples --

dru + luG tip →Nizridrusru dru + caG + tip →luGlaG aT + dru + caG + tip → a + dru + caG + t''' aT + dudru + caG + t''' → adudruvat "ran"

pAci + luG tip apIpacat "he made (them) cook"

kAmi + luG tip acIkamat

narti + luG tip anInRtat

cori + luG tip acUcurat

nAyi + luG tip anInayat

The caGi reduplication has some peculiarities --

every vowel except u U reduplicates as i, by sanvalla

The Nic affix disappears by NeraniTi,

the root vowel shortens by NaucaGyu,

and the vowel of the stammer is often long -- I or U by sanvalla sanyataH dIrgholaghoH.

sRji;dRzor jhaly am akiti ONPANINI 61058
sRj dRz get a(m) before akit seriousmmmmmmmmm ^ C+ 538

The label m in a(m) makes it into a mitaugment. Therefore, saying that sRj dRz get a(m) is the same thing as saying that we add a after their last vowel. So their R turns into Ra, and then, by ikoyaNaci, into ra. Examples --

dRz + tumun dRaz + tum →ikoyaNaci draz + tum →vrazcabhrasja draS + tum →STunA draSTum "to see"

dRz + tRc dRaz + tR draSTR- "seer"

dRz + luG tip →luGlaG adRz + tip → adRz + sic + tip adRaz + s + tip →ikoyaNaci adraz + s + tip → adraz + s + t''' →sicivRddhiH adrAz + s + t → adrAz + s + It''' →SaDhoHkassi adrAkSIt "saw"

Before kit, we get neither this rule nor puganta --

dRz- + kta → dRSTa-

and before akit non- serious, we get puganta as usual --

dRz + lyuT →yuvoranAkau dRz + lanaT →puganta darzana- "seeing"

dRz + kvip does not get a in devadRgbhyAm "with two god-seers". That's because this rule mentions sRj and dRz explicitly, and rules that mention particular roots work only before verb affixes, not before noun affixes .

Rootstarter S to s.mmmmmmmmm ^ C+ 539

In other words: when the dhAtupATha shows a root that starts with S, the real root starts with s. Such a root is said to be a sa-root. The dhAtupATha lists these roots S just to let us know that rule upasargAt works on them.

Examples. The roots sah "endure" and sic' "sprinkle" are Sa-roots, because the dhAtupATha lists them as Sah 01.0988 and Sic 06.0170. But they actually start with s, not S --

Sah + laT ta sah + ta sahate "endures"

Sic + laT tip sic' + tip sic + za + ti →zemucAdInAm siJcati "sprinkles"

No naH ONPANINI 61065

The Nopadeza roots ("the ones taught with Na") are those that start with N in the dhAtupATha, such as nI "lead" (this nI appears listed as NI(G) in the dhAtupATha).

This rule teaches that we must always replace the initial N of a root with n. Example --

NI(G) + kta nI + ta → nIta- "was led"

In other words: this rule says that no roots actually start with N, an that those that appear to start with N in the dhAtupATha, actually start with n. They are listed with N just to tell us that rule upasargAdasamAse 'pi Nopadezasya works on them.

All of the n-starter roots are Nopadeza except nRtI~ nandi nardi nakka nATi nAthR nAdhR.

So we say parinRtyati "dances around" but pariNayati "leads around".

One-letter vi-affixes lose v.mmmmmmmmm ^ M- C+ 542

These are some of the affected vi affixes --

kvip kvin Nvi cvi

In these affixes the v is not a label, and all the other letters are labels.

So, these four lose v by this rule.

Example --

indrasya + ji + kvip →supodhA indra + ji + (k)v(ip) →hrasvasyapitikRtituk indrajitv indrajit- "defeater of indra"

This rule does not affect the v of the vi-affixes (k)vi(n) and (k)vi (two uNAdi affixes), because those are two-letter affixes --

dR + kvin → darvi- "wooden, a ladle"

jAgR + kvi → jAgRvi- "watchful, awake, kindled"

Examples of su to lopa after hal --

suhRd- + su suhRd →beforepause suhRt "friend"

rAjan- + su →sarvanAmasthAnecA rAjAns rAjAn →nalopaHprA rAjA "king"

Examples of su to lopa after GI Ap --

kukkuTI- + su kukkuTI "chicken"

sItA- + su sItA "pn"

In this situation the su does not become lopa, because zrI-, a rootnoun, has no GI and does not end in a consonant --

zrI- @f + su → zrIs "glory"

Examples of t''' s''' to lopa after hal ---

dviS + laG tip → aT + dveS + t''' → adveSt adveS →jhalAJjazonte adveD →beforepause adveT "he hated"

dviS + laG sip → aT + dveS + s''' → adveSs adveS →jhalAJjazonte adveD →beforepause adveT "you hated"

Why does the rule say " long"? Because otherwise this rule would work when gostri has shortened the GI or Ap. But the rule must not work there --

ati + khaTvA + su →gostriyor atikhaTva + su → atikhaTvas "one that no longer needs a bed"

kapi- + @calling →hrasvasyaguNaH kape + s kape "hey monkey"

guru- + @calling →hrasvasyaguNaH guro + s guro "hey teacher"

vadhU- + @calling →ambArtha vadhu + s vadhu "hey young lady"

Counterexample. subhrU- is not a nadI, but an uvaG, so it has long U (which is neither eG nor short) before the calling --

subhrU- + @calling → subhrUs "hey cutie"

Poets will sometimes say subhru, however, which sux. Even kAlidasa has --

hrasvasya piti kRti tuk ONPANINI 61071
short gets tuk before pit kRt.mmmmmmmmm ^ M+ C+ 545

In more words, the kRt affixes with p label, such as lyap kyap kvip, make the roots that end in a short get t.

Examples with lyap --

ni + kR + lyap ni + kR + t + ya → nikRtya "humiliates and"

pra + stu' + ktvA → pra + stu' + lyap prastutya "after praising in verse"

adhi + iG + lyap → adhI + lyap adhI + t + ya → adhItya "after studying"

Examples with kyap --

iN' + kyap itya- "which has to be gone to"

stu + kyap stutya- "praiseworthy"

Examples with kvip --

agnim + ci + kvip agnicit- "fire-pileupper, arranger of the (sacrificial) fire"

indram + ji + kvip indrajit- "the one who defeated indra"

pustakam + bhR + kvip pustakabhRt- "book-carrier (name of sarasvatI)"

The kvip enders do not get any feminine affix. The kyap-enders get ajAdyataSTAp.

taddhita affixes do not trigger this rule --

paTu- "sharp" + tarap → paTutara- "sharper"

This rule got to work on adhI above because Satva;tuko says that tuk rules, like this one, are blind to the changes made by akassa etc. Therefore this rule "thought" that adhI ends with short i, and added the t.

headline. The next rules (down to 61157) won't work before a pause.

Example. Rule ikoyaNaci below teaches "I to y before vowels". But because of this headline, this ikoyaNaci rule won't work on the I that is before a pause that in turn is before a vowel. So, when we join the words devI and uvAca to make a sentence, we have two options --

either we make no pause between the words and ikoyaNaci works --

devyuvAca "The Queen said."

or we make a pause and the ikoyaNaci does not work, even though I is before a vowel --

devI uvAca "The Queen. (pause). Said."

ikoyaNaci will work compulsorily when adding affixes --

kukkuTI- + au →ikoyaNaci kukkuTyau

because pausing midword is ungrammatical.

chid + us →liTidhA cichidus citchidus →stozzcu cicchidus "they cut"

sas + chinatti →etattado sa + chinatti sat chinatti →stozzcu sac chinatti "he cuts"

atra + chAtraH atrat chAtraH →stozzcu atrac chAtraH "The student is here"

You may spell the last two as sa cchinatti and atra cchatraH if you like. But inria will expect you to type sacchinatti, atracchatraH.

This rule may be said to be completely useless nowadays.

* In times of pANini, there was a difference in sound between mA chaitsIH and mA cchaitsIH.

* But nowadays (and most likely since the middle ages) everybody says only cch, never ch, no matter if the spelling looks like ch or cch. The sound of the letter ch (and of cch) is quite like the Bengali ch, which takes as much time to say as any two-consonant cluster.

However, you have to know the rule in order to get the right spellings. gacchati must be spelled with cch nowadays; the medieval custom of sayin gacchati and spelling gachati is no longer allowed.

My students are reminded that even though spellings such as hiraNyagarbho bhagavAn eSa chandasi suSTutaH are common in the epics, they still will get punished in the written test if they don't spell eSa cchandasi.

The ec letters are e o ai au. Because of rule respectively, this rule means --

" Replace

e with ay

o with av

ai with Ay

au with Av.

before all vowels ".

Examples.

ne + zap + tip nay + zap + tip → nayati "leads"

plo + zap + ta plav + zap + ta →Tita_A plavate "jumps"

saha nau avatu → saha nAvavatu "may he protect both of us together"

When the ec is a wordfinal e o, and the next word starts with a, this rule will not work because of the exception eGaHpa q.v.

When the ec is wordfinal and eGaHpa does not apply, the y v can either stay unchanged --

tasmai + avadam tasmAyavadam

nau + avatu nAvavatu

or be replaced with a hiatus by the optional rule lopazzA --

tasmai + avadam tasmAyavadam →lopazzA tasmA_avadam

nau + avatu nAvavatu →lopazzA nA_avatu

In spite of that, you will find no optionality in written books. As far as I know, in writing, rule lopazzA never works on Av -

nau + avatu nAvavatu "may He protect us"

and always works on ay av Ay --

te + ime tay + ime →lopazzA ta_ime "those same ones"

gAm + tasmai + adadat gAnM tasmAy adadat →lopazzA gAnM tasmA adadat "gave him a cow"

Addition to ecoya, which replaces e ai o au before vowels. The o and the au will also be replaced before affixes that start with y.

Example before Nyat, a kRt affix --

yu + Nyat →acoJNiti yau + ya yAvya- "that should be excluded"

Example before Nya, a taddhita. The taddhita do not trigger ( acoJNiti, but do trigger taddhiteSva --

(o au) of root (to av Av before y -affix) only if that affix made the o au.mmmmmmmmm ^ C+ 554

Exception to vAntoyi above. If the o au belongs to a root, we replace it with av Av only before the y-affix that made the o au, like here --

lU + yat →hardsoft lo + yat lavya- "could be reaped"

but not before other y-affixes, like this yamAna here --

lU + yamAna + iJ →taddhiteSva lau + yamAna + i →yasyetica lauyamAni- "son of lUyamAna"

Here the U turned into au because of the iJ affix (see taddhiteSva), and not because of the yamAna affix. So we get no Av change before yamAna.
