(Replace a अ) with e ए before a plural /sup that starts with bh भ् s स्.

The endings affected are /bhyas, /sup', /sAm, and /bhis.

Examples with /bhyas —

**vRkSa- वृक्षॱ + /bhyas → !**vRkSebhyas वृक्षेभ्यस्

**azva- अश्वॱ + /bhyas → !**azvebhyas अश्वेभ्यस्

**vRka- वृकॱ + /bhyas → !**vRkebhyas वृकेभ्यस् "to / from wolves"

Example with /sup' —

**vRkSa- वृक्षॱ + /sup' → **vRkSeSu वृक्षेषु, with /Satvam

**azva- अश्वॱ + /sup' → **azveSu अश्वेषु, with /Satvam

Example with /sAm —

sarva- सर्वॱ m + /Am
→ sarva- सर्वॱ + /sAm by Amisarvan...
→ sarve सर्वे + sAm साम् by this rule
→ sarveSAm सर्वेषाम् with /Satvam.

Why "short a अ"?

Won't work with A आ —

**azvA- अश्वाॱ + /su → !**azvAsu अश्वासु jbj

Wait, why did you bother to say /bhis? A /bhis after a अ will always turn into ais ऐस् by atobhisa::ais, like this —

**deva- देवॱ + /bhis
→ **deva- देवॱ + /ais by atobhisa::ais
→ **devais देवैस्

Not always. There is no /ais replacement after /idam- and /adas-, and there is no /ais sometimes in the /veda. So we get e ए in —

**ebhis एभिस्

**amIbhis अमीभिस्

**devebhis देवेभिस्
