The /sambuddhi is deleted —
after e ए, o ओ, and short vowels, by eGhrasvAtsamb...,
and after consonants, /Ap, and /GI, by halGyAbbhyodIrgh....
So, it only stays —
after ai ऐ,
he jedaiH हे जेदैः "hey Jedi knight"
after au औ,
**gaus गौस् "hey cow", unaffected by eGhrasvAtsamb... because gotoNit works first.
he gagana-nauH हे गगनॱनौः "hey sentient spaceship"
and after long vowels that are not /Ap /GI —
grAmaNIH ग्रामणीः mf "hey maior"
vadhUH वधूः "hey young lady"
zrIH श्रीः "hey goddess of wealth"
/rai- + /sambuddhi
→ rA- राॱ + /sambuddhi by rAyohali
→ rAH राः "hey goddess of wealth"
Base lakSmI- लक्ष्मीॱ is special: some think it has /GI, some think it doesn't, so you may say he lakSMi हे लक्ष्ंइ or he lakSmIH हे लक्ष्मीः, both are fine.
