When a n न्-ender nounbase is /ekAc and ifc, its n न् gets /Natvam.

This affects /han, the /num from bhUsuvostiGi, and vibhaktis —

vRtra- वृत्रॱ + /han- + /au → !**vRtrahaNau वृत्रहणौ "two soldiers"

vRtra- वृत्रॱ + /han- + /jas → !**vRtrahaNas वृत्रहणस् " s soldiers"

vRtra- वृत्रॱ + /han- + /am → !**vRtrahaNam वृत्रहणम् " o soldier"

!*surApANi with /num from bhUsuvostiGi

!*surApeNa with ina इन from TAGasiGas...

However when alloponaH eats up the a अ of /han-, it is no longer /ekAc and this rule does not apply —

vRtra- वृत्रॱ + /han- + /zas
→ vRtra- वृत्रॱ + hn ह्न् + /zas by alloponaH
→ vRtra- वृत्रॱ + ghn घ्न् + /zas by hohanterJNinn...
→ **vRtraghnas वृत्रघ्नस् " o soldiers"

vRtra- वृत्रॱ + han हन् + /TA → !**vRtraghnA वृत्रघ्ना

vRtra- वृत्रॱ + han हन् + /Ge → !**vRtraghne वृत्रघ्ने
