The base "bhavatR-" "who is" comes from **bhava- भवॱ + /zatR.
When masculine, like all atR अतृ bases, it takes the endings the same way as /matup bases like /bhavatu- and "hanumatup". The exception is the /su that is not the /sambuddhi, which does not cause lengthening —
/bhavatR- + /su → **bhavan भवन् like **hasan हसन्
/bhavatR- + /am → **bhavantam' भवन्तम्ऽ like **hanumantam हनुमन्तम्
While it does cause lengtheninng of the /udit —
/bhavatu- + /su → **bhavAn भवान् like **hanumAn हनुमान्
bhavatR- भवतृॱ + /bhis → !**bhavadbhis' भवद्भिस्ऽ "by the ones who are"
