Non-/idit roots ending in consonants lose their nexttolast n न् before /kGit.

Actually, they lose any nexttolast nasal, including /M.

Examples. /kta is clearly a /kGit —

sraMs स्रंस् + /kta → !**srasta- स्रस्तॱ

The affix /kvin is /kit too. The root /aJcu gets /kvin when it is ifc (by RtvigdadhRksr...) —

/aJcu when ifc → /ac''' by this rule

This /ac''', when it is before a strong, will get /num —

/ac''' before strong
→ anc अन्च् by ugidacAMs...
→ aJc अंच् by monusvAraH
→ aJc अञ्च् by anusvArasy...

this aJc अञ्च् will become aG अङ् before /su —

/ac''' + /su
→ aJc- अञ्च् + /su by ugidacAMs...
→ aJc अञ्च् by halGyAbbhyodIrgh...
→ aJ अञ् by saMyogAntasy...
→ aG अङ् by kvinpratyayasy...
→ !**aG अङ्, as in **pratyaG प्रत्यङ्, **prAG प्राङ्, **dadhyaG दध्यङ्, **viSvadryaG विष्वद्र्यङ्.

but stays before the other strong because they start with vowels —

**prAJcam प्राञ्चम्

**prAJcau प्राञ्चौ

/pra + /ac''' before strong → !**prAJc- प्राञ्च्

/pra + /ac''' when whimpy → **prAc- प्राच्

/pra + /ac''' when /pada → !**prAk- प्राक्
