Add "akac", before the /Ti, to indeclinables, pronouns (and /tiGanta), in the /prAgivIya senses.

Exception in advance to ajJAte >>, which enjoins any of the /prAgivIya /ka affixes after other words.

Anomalously, this ak अक् is added to a full word, which may be a /subanta or /tiGanta.

Example with an indeclinable —

uccais उच्चैस् + /akac → uccakaiH उच्चकैः

Example with a pronoun —

sarvais सर्वैस् + /akac → sarv सर्व् + ak अक् + ais ऐस्→ sarvakaiH सर्वकैः

Example with a verb —

pacati पचति + /akac
→ pacat पचत् + ak अक् + i इ
→ !**pacataki पचतकि "is he cooking?", allowed to express a question by ajJAte >>.

The original sUtra only mentions indeclinables and pronouns, so where does your translation get the "/tiGanta" from?

This sUtra inherits "tiGas तिङस्" from <15 tiGazca.

Are you even allowed to do that? Not all the sUtras in between affect verbs.

Okay, call it a /vArttika. Or call it leapfrogging. Very old grammatical terms for 'cheats are allowed sometimes'.
