(Replace /au with /zI) after a neuter.

Careful! this /zI is not the same thing as the /zi with short i इ.

**manas- मनस् n + /au
manas- मनस् n + /zI by this rule
→ !**manasI मनसी "two minds"

**phala- फलॱ n + /au
→ phala- फलॱ + /zI by this rule
→ !**phale फले "two results", by AdguNaH

The /Ap bases, which are f , get /zI in the dual by < auGa::ApaH.

See also endings after neuters.

Why is /zI a /zit? As /au has only one letter (an au औ), there is no need of triggering anekAlzits....

That's true, this /zit is not useful here. However, it is necessary for rule << jasazzI to work.
