liTy abhyAsasyobhayeSAm

लिट्यभ्यासस्योभयेषाम् ONPANINI 61017

Before /liT, (stretch) the /abhyAsa of the roots in << vacisvapiy... and < grahijyAvay....

yaj यज् + /liT /tip
→ yAj याज् + /Nal by ata::upadh...
→ yA या + yAj याज् + /Nal
→ i इ + yAj याज् + /Nal by this rule
→ !**iyAja इयाज "he / she / I sacrificed"

vac वच् + /liT → **uvAca उवाच "said", same steps

The stretching of the abhyAsa takes place BEFORE halAdizzeSaH can erase the y य् v व् —

vyA व्या + vyA व्या
→ vi वि + vyA व्या
→ vivyA विव्या, not EW*vavyA

jyA ज्या + jyA ज्या → ji जि + jyA ज्या → jijyA जिज्या

This rule applies before the akit अकित् affixes — namely /Nal and /thal. The /kit are managed by << vacisvapiy....

vac वच् + vac वच् → u उ + uc उच् → Uc ऊच् as in **Ucatus ऊचतुस्, **Ucus ऊचुस्

Wate, does this sUtra have an /ubha- with a plural ending?

Yes, odd thing. It gets /Am because it means "of the 3+ roots in both groups (the << vacisvapiy... group and the < grahijyAvay... group)". Most likely ungrammatical, but wtf, it gets the meaning across.
