Example. When the verb linksto a third person singular noun, we sometimes use /tip and we sometimes use /ta (other rules say which of the two). So the verbs of the sentences —
atti rAmaH अत्ति रामः "Raama eats"
kSipati rAmaH क्षिपति रामः "Raama throws"
labhate rAmaH लभते रामः "Raama gets"
are formed by replacing the /laT tense with /tip or with /ta —
ad अद् "eat" + /laT
→ ad अद् + /tip
→ adti अद्ति
→ atti अत्ति
→ **atti अत्ति "eats"
kSip क्षिप् "throw" + /laT
→ **kSipa- क्षिपॱ + /tip
→ !**kSipati क्षिपति "throws"
r labh लभ् "get" + /laT
→ labh लभ् + /ta
→ labh लभ् + /za + /ta
→ labh लभ् + a अ + /te'''
→ **labhate लभते "gets"
