/savarNa vowels merge into a long by akassavarN....
( a अ A आ ) + ( a अ A आ ) → A आ
( i इ I ई ) + ( i इ I ई ) → I ई
( u उ U ऊ ) + ( u उ U ऊ ) → U ऊ
( R ऋ RR ॠ L ऌ) + ( R ऋ RR ॠ L ऌ) → RR ॠ
Back to sandhi tables.
Won't L ऌ plus L ऌ make a long L ऌ?
No. There ain't such thing as a long L ऌ. And no words end in L ऌ.
As if that's going to stop me. If there ain't any I can make up some. What will be the result of L ऌ plus L ऌ then?
Commentarists say it will be RR ॠ, because R ऋ, RR ॠ and L ऌ are /savarNa of each other, and RR ॠ is long.
