talkaround, valid down to kAnAmreDi. The next rules replace wordfinals with ru. This rule clarifies that, if we so choose, the vowel before the ru becomes nasalized.

anunAsikAt paro 'nusvAraH ONPANINI 83004
But when not nasalizing the vowel, add M after it.mmmmmmmmm ^ C+ 960

The previous rule says that we may choose to nasalize certain vowels. This one says that, if we choose to not nasalize, then we must add an M sound afterwards.

Example. Rule nazcha below turns tAn + te into tA + ru + te (not into tAMs -- see Accurate translation of nazchavya ).

But the rule above says that we may choose to replace tA + ru + te with tA~ + ru + te (with nasalized A~ ) instead.

And this rule says that if we don't make the rule above work, then we must replace tA + ru + te with tAM + ru + te.

Either way, the ru will become s by kharava and visarjanIyasyasaH. So we may say either tA~ste or tAMste.

Translating together this rule and the previous rule, we get the talkaround --

" When the next rules replace with ru, we have to either nasalize the vowel that is before the ru or add M after it. "

Notice that the wording of the original rule is wrong. It should have been an-anunAsikAt paro 'nusvAraH. In my view, the an was eaten by a bookworm at some point, or succumbed to haplology.

samaH suTi ONPANINI 83005
sam to ( ru ) before s(uT).mmmmmmmmm ^ C+ 961

Because of atrAnu and anunAsikAt, this is rule means --

" Change sam into saMs or sa~s when it is before a root that got s in front. "

For instance, the root kR becomes skR when it means decorating.

Before this skR, if we use anunAsikAt, we replace sam with saMs, and we get --

sam + kRta- →samparyupe sam + skRta- saMs + skRta- → saMsskRta- →visarjanIyasyasaH saMskRta- "decorated"

but if we choose to use atrAnu instead, then we replace sam with sa~s --

sam + kRta- →samparyupe sam + skRta- sa~s + skRta- → sa~sskRta- → sa~skRta- "decorated"

In the two examples above, the last step was replacing ss with s. That was done by a vArttika. Even though the replacement is optional, it happens more often than not.

More examples --

saMskartR- "decorator"

saMskartum "to decorate"

saMskartavya- "must be decorated"

KAZIKA saMskartA. saMskartum. saMskartavyam.

pumaH khayy am-pare ONPANINI 83006
pum (to puMs or pu~s) before khay that is before am'.mmmmmmmmm ^ C+ 962

This "pum" is the pums- nounbase that became wordfinal and lost s by saMyogAnta.

Example --

pums- "man" + kAmA "that wants" →saMyogAnta pum + kAmA puMskAmA "woman that wants a man"

pums- "man" + kAmA "that wants" →saMyogAnta pum + kAmA pu~skAmA "woman that wants a man"

In the first example we used anunAsikAt, and in the second one atrAnu.

This rule will not work when the khay is not before an am' letter, which is almost the same thing as saying that it will not work when the khay is before a zar. As I found no sensible examples of that anywhere yet, I just made up two nonsensible ones --

puGMkSatis "destruction of men"

punMtsarus "male sword (whatever that means)"

Of course, anusvA will work here, so please pronounce puGkSatiH, puntsarus.

Boring footnote. The original rule just says "pum to ru", but I translated "pum (to puMs or pu~s)" as, because of other rules, the ru turns into Ms or ~s. The rule that turns ru into s is visarjanIyasyasaH, which, this time, is (somehow) not overriden by kupvo.

KAZIKA puMskAmA.

naz chavy a-prazAn ONPANINI 83007
(Wordfinal) n to Ms before chav.mmmmmmmmm ^ M- C+ 963

The true translation of this rule is --

" Wordfinal n to ru before chav that is before am', except the n of prazAn. "

The ru will of course turn into Ms or ~s because of anunAsikAt, atrAnu and other rules.

Now, because the atrAnu option is seldom taken, and prazAn is not very common, and most chav are followed by an am', about ninety nine percent of the time the rule just does this --

" Wordfinal n to Ms before chav. "

Let's see examples of that most common case first --

hanumAn + tiSThati hanumAMs tiSThati "hanumAn waits"

carvan + carati carvaMs carati →stozzcu carvaMz carati "walks while chewing"

gAyan + TIkate gAyaMs TIkate →STunA gAyaMS TIkate "jumps while singing"

In the above three examples I have replaced n with Ms directly. However, in fact the rule (if we use the atrAnu option, as is most often done) just replaces n with M + ru, and then two more rules change ru into s, so we should have written the change in three steps --

hanumAn + tiSThati hanumA + M + ru + tiSThati →kharava hanumAMH + tiSThati →visarjanIyasyasaH hanumAMs + tiSThati "hanumAn waits"

For examples of what happens when we use anunAsikAt, or when there is prazAn, or when the chav is not followed by an am', see accurate translation of nazchavya .

nRRn pe ONPANINI 83010
( optionally) nRRn (to nRRMH) before p.mmmmmmmmm ^ C+ 964

The word nRRn "men" is nR- + zas. This rule says "nRRn to ru before p", which means --

"when nRRn is in saMhitA before p, replace it with nRR + ru optionally."

Afterwards, other rules will turn the ru into Ms or ~s or F.

So if we don't apply this rule, we say --

nRRnn + pAhi → nRRn pAhi "protect the men!"

and if we apply it --

nRRn + pAhi nRR + ru →anunAsikAtpa nRRMr →kharava nRRMH pAhi

nRRMH + pAhi →kupvoKkaFpauca nRRMF pAhi

nRRn + pAhi nRR + ru →atrAnunA nRR~r →kharava nRR~H pAhi

nRR~H + pAhi →kupvoKkaFpauca nRR~F pAhi

all five with the same meaning.

This rule allows four alternative pronunciations but you only mention nRRMH in your translation. Why?

Because, of these five options, only nRRn and nRRMH will be found in writing. Feel free to read aloud any nRMHpAhi as nRRMFpAhi, nRR~HpAhi or nRR~FpAhi if you like.

Why is only one found in writing? Maybe that one is more correct than the other three?

It is not. That's done because using special letters to mean the nasalization and the F is inconvenient for typesetters.

Dho Dhe lopaH ONPANINI 83013
Delete Dh before Dh.mmmmmmmmm ^ M- C+ 966

This rule only works when h is before a t th dh affix. The h turns into Dh by hoDhaH, then the t th into dh by jhaSastatho, then dh into Dh by STunA, then the first Dh disappears by this rule, and, finally, the vowel before it lengthens by Dhralope if possible. Examples --

guh + kta →hoDhaH guDh + ta →jhaSastatho guDh + dha →STunA guDh + Dha gu + Dha →Dhralope gUDha- "hidden, concealed, kept secret"

lih + laT tha lIDha "y'all suck"

lih + laG dhvam alIDhvam "y'all licked"

lih + luT tas → lih + tArau →hardsoft leh + tArau leDhArau "both will lick"

gAh + luG thAs AgADhAs "you went into" ( see jhalojhali for details )

You said that 84041 STunA worked, then this rule ( 83013), then 63111 Dhralope. This is against cantgoback!

There is an exception to cantgoback: you MUST go back to a rule that would always be useless if cantgoback weren't ignored.

What pANini rule or vArttika allows that exception? Never heard of it.

None. It's more like a common sense principle, taken for granted -- "there are no useless rules".

ro ri ONPANINI 83014
Delete r before r.mmmmmmmmm ^ C+ 967

Example:

gaus + ramate →sasaju gaur + ramate gau ramate "the cow's having fun"

kukkuTIs + rakSati kukkuTI rakSati "protects the hens"

If the r is after a i u, Dhralope kicks in --

punar + ramate puna ramate →Dhralope punA ramate "has fun again"

kapir + ramate kapi ramate →Dhralope kapI ramate "monkey has fun"

What about azvas + ramate "horse has fun"? sasaju makes azvar there. Won't rori work there?

No. rori won't work there, because hazica is stronger, being more specific. So we say azvo ramate.

Will this rule work on wordfinals only?

It works everywhere, but the nonwordfinals are incredibly uncommon. candravasu shows an example of inner r disappearing before r.

khar;avasAnayor visarjanIyaH ONPANINI 83015
( wordfinal r to) H before khar and pause.mmmmmmmmm ^ M+ C+ 968 sandhi

This rule replaces all r with H. It replaces both the true r (of words like punar gIr pitar), and the r(u) made by sasaju.

Examples before kh --

punar + khadati punaH + khadati → punaH khadati "eats again"

hayas + khadati →sasaju haya + ru + khadati hayaH khadati "horse eats"

hayas + khadati →sasaju haya + ru + khadati hayaH khadati →kupvoKkaFpauca hayaK khadati "horse eats"

Example before pause --

khadati + hayas + @pause →sasaju khadati + haya + ru khadati hayaH "horse eats"

Example before chav --

hayas + tarati →sasaju haya + ru + tarati hayaH tarati →visarjanIyasyasaH hayastarati "horse crosses"

Example before zar --

rAmas + sIdati →sasaju rAma + ru + sIdati rAmaH sIdati →vAzari rAmasH sIdati "rAma is sitting"

In the last example, even though the H sound has been replaced with an s sound, rAmasHsIdati is still written rAmaHsIdati. See spelling of zz SS ss .

roH supi ONPANINI 83016
True r stays before sup'.mmmmmmmmm ^ M- C+ 969

Exception to kharava. kharava ordinarily changes all wordfinal r, both ru and true r. Yet, before sup', kharava will change ru, but true r will stay.

Example. kharava will not work on gir + sup', because the r of gir is a true r, not a ru --

gir- + sup' →svAdiSva gir ( word ) + su →rvoru gIr + su gIrsu →kric gIrSu "in speeches"

After the ru from manas- barhis- etc, kharava will work as usual.

bho;bhago;agho;apUrvasya yo 'zi ONPANINI 83017
ru from As as bhos bhagos aghos to y before az.mmmmmmmmm ^ M+ C+ 970

This rule has several effects --

(1) wordfinal as almost always loses s before all vowels except a --

arjunas + uvAca →sasaju arjuna + ru + uvAca arjunay uvAca →lopazzA arjuna:: uvAca "arjuna said"

(2) bhos bhagos aghos and wordfinal As almost always lose s before all vowels including a --

azvAs + IkSante →sasaju azvA + ru + IkSate azvAy IkSante →lopazzA azvA:: IkSante "the horses see"

(3) bhos bhagos aghos and wordfinal As lose s before haz --

azvAs + dravanti →sasaju azvA + ru + dravanti azvAy dravanti →halisarveSAm azvA dravanti "horses run"

This rule is very annoying for beginners, because whenever we hear a wordfinal A in saMhitA before a haz (a very common situation), there is no way of telling if the word truly ended in A, or it ended in As and lost s by this rule. For instance, this bhavatI- + Gas = bhavatyAs is a word that ends in As and loses s by this rule --

bhavatyAs + nAma kim bhavatyA nAma kim "what's your name?"

and this bhavatI- + TA = bhavatyA is a word that truly ends in A --

bhavatyA + dRSTaGM kim → bhavatyA dRSTaGM kim "what did you see?"

Why did you say "except a" in (1) above?

In the case as + a, the exception atoro works, making as plus a into o.

In (1) and (2) you said that the y disappears "almost" always. When is it not lost?

When we make the optional rule vyorlaghu work. In that case the s is not lost, but replaced with y. This only happens before a vowel.

What are those two colons?

They just help you to remember that that s disappeared at that point. You don't have to write them, but you MUST keep the space. Spelling arjuna uvAca is fine, spelling arjunauvAca is no good.

After we get from azvAs + IkSante to azvA:: IkSante by this rule, we have A right before I with no pause in between. Shouldn't AdguNaH work then?

No. This rule is way after 82001 and AdguNaH is before 82001. So, rule cantgoback forbids AdguNaH.

Why did we bother to say ru instead of just r?

So that this rule won't work on true r. So we say punaratra "here again", prAtaratra "here in the morning".

v;yor laghu-prayatna-taraH zAkaTAyanasya ONPANINI 83018
wordfinal v y to lighter-effort v y optionally.mmmmmmmmm ^ C+ 971

When saying a normal y, the tongue raises, when saying v the lips approach each other. This movement takes some effort.

In a lighter-effort y v, the tongue raises, the lips approach too, but not so much.

This rule says that when wordfinal y v is before a vowel, we may pronounce it either as a normal y or as a lighter-effort y.

Together with the option "replace y with nothing" allowed by lopazzA, we can say te + Ucus "they said" in three ways --

(A) tayUcuH, with normal y, just by ecoya.

(B) ta(y)UcuH, with lighter-effort y, by ecoya and vyorlaghu .

(C) ta::UcuH, with hiatus, by ecoya and lopazzA.

In writing you will find (C) only, but both (A) and (C) are heard often.

Some people say that the word zAkaTAyanasya is used pUjArtham here, and that therefore pronouncing like (A) sux. To get in the safe side of those people, please use only (C) in writing. But pronounce as you like, anyway; no one will complain.

The rule also works on the y made from ru by bhobhago. So --

arjunayuvAca with bhobhago only

arjuna(y)uvAca with bhobhago and this rule

arjuna::uvAca with bhobhago and lopazzA

Only the third option is found in print, but the others are heard sometimes.

( wordfinal y v to) lopa optionally (before vowel).mmmmmmmmm ^ C+ 972

In other words, the wordfinal y v that is in saMhitA and between two vowels disappears, so that the two vowels turn into a hiatus, with no pause in between. Example --

arjunas + uvAca →sasaju arjuna + ru + uvAca →bhobhago arjunay uvAca arjuna:: uvAca "arjuna said"

What if we don't take this option?

Then the y just stays --

arjunas + uvAca →sasaju arjuna + ru + uvAca →bhobhago arjunayuvAca

(we may also use the lighter-effort y, so there are three ways of saying this)

May I spell arjunayuvAca?

Modern custom forbids that. Yet, arjunayuvAca is often heard.

May I say " arjuna pause uvAca " instead, with a very small pause between the two words?

No. If you plan to insert a pause (you are always allowed to insert one) then rule kharava must work --

arjunas + pause + uvAca →sasaju arjuna + ru + @pause + uvAca →kharava arjunaH + @pause + uvAca

In that arjuna:: uvAca, the a before the u is in saMhitA. Shouldn't AdguNaH work, then?

Forbidden. We cantgoback from 83019 lopazzA to 61087 AdguNaH.

My other teacher says that the zAkalyasya in this rule is pUjArtham, therefore saying arjunayuvAca sux and there are only two options, the hiatus and the lighter-effort.

Your other teacher is entitled to her own opinion.

hali sarveSAm ONPANINI 83022
Before hal ( wordfinal y to lopa).mmmmmmmmm ^ C+ 973

About ninety-nine percent of the time, the effect of this rule is deleting the s of an As-ender before a haz letter. Example --

siMhAs + nRtyanti →sasaju siMhA + ru + nRtyanti →bhobhago siMhAy + nRtyanti siMhA nRtyanti "lions dance"

This rule also deletes the s of the bhos bhagos aghos etc mentioned in rule bhobhago --

bhos + bhos + tapasvinaH bho bhos tapasvinaH "hey hey ascetics"

In detail --

bhos + bhos →sasaju bho + ru + bhos →bhobhago bhoybhos bhobhos

You translated "y to lopa". However, aren't we trickling "y and v to lopa"?

Yes we are, but I can't think of any example of wordfinal v that reaches this rule. As soon as I find one, I'll add "and v" to my translation.

mo 'nusvAraH ONPANINI 83023
wordfinal m to M before consonant.mmmmmmmmm ^ M- C+ 974

Before vowel and pause, this rule does not work, so m stays m --

kapim apazyam "I saw monkey"

Before yaN and zal, this rule replaces m with M, and no other rules work --

ayam + siMham + hanti ayaM siMhaM hanti "he kills lion"

Before the other consonants (the Jay), first this rule replaces m with M, and then rule anusvA replaces that M with something else --

gItAm + gAyati gItAM + gAyati →anusvA gItAGMgAyati "sings the song"

senAm + nayati senAM + nayati →anusvA senAnMnayati "leads the army"

naz c/A-pad%Antasya jhali ONPANINI 83024

Examples with n --

bhunkte bhuMkte →anusvA bhuGkte "eats"

mahat- + am →ugidacA mahantam →sAntama mahAntam mahaMtam →anusvA mahAntam "big"

If the serious is a zal, there is no anusvA --

manas + zi →napuMsakasyajhalacaH manAnsi manAMsi "minds"

An important side effect of this rule is that there is no Natvam before serious .

mo rAji samaH kvau ONPANINI 83025
Replace sam with m before rAj plus kvip.mmmmmmmmm ^ C+ 976

Exception to monus. Only example --

sam + rAj + kvip samrAj- "emperor, king of the whole world"

When the j is wordfinal, it turns into D by vrazca --

I don't understand "replace sam with m". This sam alredy endednd in m, so what need is there of replacing m with itself?

This rule is an exception to monusvA. If this rule did not say "replace m with m", then monusvA would replace m with M. The same trick is used in rule atom, that says "replace am with am"; saying "replace am with am" is just a short way of saying "do not replace am with luk as the previous rule says".

What happens when n is not wordfinal but is before s?

Then nazcApa works.

Where is the word "optionally" trickling from?

That's the vA coming from 83026 he mapare vA "optionally wordfinal m to m before hm".

And the word wordfinal?

From padasya.

I have never seen this rule used in print.

Neither have I. Yet, rest assured that if your book has bhavAnsIdati, you are allowed to read that aloud as bhavAntsIdati.

Why would I want to do that?

Believe it or not, some people find nts easier to say than ns. Test both and choose the easier.

zi tuk ONPANINI 83031
n plus z makes Jz, Jch, or Jcch.mmmmmmmmm ^ M- C+ 980

Example --

tAn + zarAn tAJcharAn "those arrows"

tAn + zarAn tAJzarAn "those arrows"

tAn + zarAn tAJccharAn "those arrows"

Usually, when sandhi rules allow exceptions, only one of them is found in writing. In this case, however, all of Jch Jz Jcch appear in writing. Jcch is seldom found in writing.

I always spell tAJcharAn and say tAJccharAn. But that's because I like going along with the herd. You may spell and pronounce however you like; if a pANini rule says you can choose, then you can choose, that's what the rule is for.

See also rule zazchoTi, that manages t + z.

Again your translation appears too creative. What does zi tuk actually mean?

You are right. The actual rule just says "add t after the wordfinal n that is before z". So this rule just makes tAntzarAn. After that, some other rules turn that into tAJcharAn, tAJzarAn or tAJccharAn.

Which rules are those?

Yay, you just set yourself some homework. I hate giving people homework.

Gamo hrasvAd aci GamuN@ nityam ONPANINI 83032
( wordfinal) Gam doubles after short before vowel.mmmmmmmmm ^ M- C+ 981

The Gam letters are Ga Na nam -- G, N and n.

Examples with n are common --

prahasan + iva prahasann iva "smiling"

kurvan + api kurvann api "even when doing"

Examples with G are rare, because very few words end in G --

dadhyaG + AtharvaNaH dadhyaGG AtharvaNaH "dadhyaG, son of atharvan"

The G here comes from rule kvinpra, like in prAG.

Examples with N are never found in the wild, as no word ends in N unless it has been invented by grammarians.

Ahem. The yaN of rule ikoyaNaci was invented by grammarians, is a word (as it has su, lost by halGyA), and ends in N that follows a short and is before vowel. So why don't we chant ikoyaNNaci?

pANini used one N there so as to show that doubling N is optional. As he does not do that in tasminniti etc, doubling n and G is always compulsory.

What is the literal translation of the rule?

Adding the trickle, it teaches " wordfinal G N n after short before vowel get GuT Nut nuT". The respectively rule applies, and those GuT NuT nuT are Titaugments.
