kamez clez caG vAcyaH

कमेश्च्लेश्चङ्वाच्यः

kami कमि too gets /caG.

/vArttika to Nizridrusrubhy...

The root kami कमि gets /Ni by kamerNiG, and the resulting kAmi कामि, before /luG, gets /caG by Nizridrusrubhy..., making **acIkamat अचीकमत् "he loved".

However, according to kamerNiG and AyAdaya::..., the /NiG is optional before the soft affix /cli.

This /vArttika says that kami कमि gets /caG even when it has no /Ni —

kam कम् + /NiG + /luG /tip
→ kam कम् + /caG + /t'''
→ /aT + ka क + kam कम् + a अ + t त्
→ !**acakamat अचकमत् "he loved"
