Replace (with y य् before vowels) a cluster-less (root) that ends in i इ I ई and is at the end of an /anekAc stem.

Exception to <<<<< aciznudhAt..., that would have replaced with iy इय्.

This rule applies both to roots proper —

**ninI- निनीॱ + /atus → !**ninyatuH निन्यतुः "both led"

**ninI- निनीॱ + /us → !**ninyuH निन्युः "they led"

and to /samAsa that end in rootnouns —

**pradhI- प्रधीॱ mf + /au → **pradhyau प्रध्यौ (not pradhiyau as <<<<< aciznudhAt... would have it)

Why do we say "roots"? What happens to i इ I ई stems that are not root-enders?

Normal /anekAc I ई stems (including /GI stems) before vowels get y य् too, but by ikoyaNaci —

**nadyau नद्यौ

**nadyas नद्यस्

(/nAm is not a vowel ending, so we have **nadInAm नदीनाम्).

/ekAc I ई-stems before vowels are affected by <<<<< aciznudhAt... and get iy इय्.

**dhiyau धियौ

Normal i इ stems, before vowels, like **RSi- ऋषिॱ, **zuci- शुचिॱ turn their i इ into e ए, I ई, in इन्, y य् by several rules —

**RSayas ऋषयस्, **RSes ऋषेस्, **RSI ऋषी, **zucinA शुचिना, **zucyA शुच्या

Why do we say "clusterless roots"?

The rootnoun krI क्री has the cluster kr क्र्, so <<<<< aciznudhAt... works normally —

yava-krI- यवॱक्रीॱ + /au
→ !**yavakriyau यवक्रियौ "two barleybuyers"

However, nI नी is a clusterless root, so we get —

/ut + /nI- + /au
→ un उन् + nI- नीॱ + /au by yaronunAs...
→ un उन् + ny न्य् + /au by this rule
→ !**unnyau उन्न्यौ "two upleaders"

even though there is a cluster right before the I ई.
