नेयङुवङ्स्थानावॱस्त्री ONPANINI 14004

The /iyaG /uvaG bases are not /nadI, except strI स्त्री.

The /iyaG /uvaG bases are those (I ई U ऊ)-enders mentioned in rule aciznudhAt..., AFI **zrI- श्रीॱ f and **bhU- भूॱ f .

As those bases are not /nadI, the ones that end in I ई have no /GI and are unaffected by halGyAbbhyodIrgh... —

**zrI- श्रीॱ + /su → **zrIs श्रीस् jbj, with no halGyAbbhyodIrgh...

and both I ई enders and U ऊ-enders are unaffected by ambArthanady... —

**zrI- श्रीॱ + /sambuddhi → **zrIs श्रीस् jbj, with no halGyAbbhyodIrgh... and no ambArthanady...

**bhU- भूॱ + /sambuddhi → **bhUs भूस् jbj, with no ambArthanady...

And ordinarily we get /Ge /Gasi /Gas /Gi after them, just as if they were consonant bases in iy इय् uv उव् —

**zrI- श्रीॱ + /Ge
→ zriya- श्रियॱ + /Ge by aciznudhAt...
→ **zriye श्रिये

**bhU- भूॱ + /Ge → !**bhuve भुवे

The /nadI bases, however, if they end in I ई, lose /su —

**nadI- नदीॱ + /su → **nadI नदी with halGyAbbhyodIrgh...

**vadhU- वधूॱ + /su → **vadhUs वधूस् jbj

and both I ई and U ऊ lose /sambuddhi and shorten before it —

**nadI- नदीॱ + /sambuddhi → **nadi नदि with halGyAbbhyodIrgh... and ambArthanady...

**vadhU- वधूॱ + /sambuddhi → **nadi नदि with ambArthanady... and eGhrasvAtsamb...

and replace /Ge etc. whith ai ऐ etc. —

**nadI- नदीॱ + /Ge
→ nadI नदी + ai ऐ by ANnadyAH
→ !**nadyai नद्यै "to river" by ikoyaNaci

**vadhU- वधूॱ + /Ge
→ !**vadhvai वध्वै, same steps

Yet, before /Ge etc. certain endings, rule Gitihrasvazca >> q.v. makes the /ekAc bases /nadI anyway optionally,so that /Ge etc. turn into ai ऐ etc.

The other endings do not have this option and **zrI- श्रीॱ **bhU- भूॱ before them are invariably not /nadI —

**zrI- श्रीॱ + /TA → !**zriyA श्रिया "with wealth" by aciznudhAt...

**bhU- भूॱ + /TA → !**bhuvA भुवा "with the Earth" by aciznudhAt...

Compare with the /nadI —

**nadI- नदीॱ + /TA → !**nadyA नद्या "with a river" by ikoyaNaci

**vadhU- वधूॱ + /TA → !**vadhvA वध्वा "with wife" by ikoyaNaci

Why do we say "not /strI-"?

The base /strI- is always nadI नदी, even though it does get /iyaG /uvaG —

/strI- + /Ge
→ /strI- + ai ऐ by ANnadyAH
→ striy- स्त्रिय् + ai ऐ by striyAH
→ !**striyai स्त्रियै "to a woman"

I don't understand the wording of the original sUtra.

iyaG-uvaG-sthAnau इयङुवङ्स्थानौ is a dual and means "the iyaGsthAna इयङ्स्थान and the uvaGsthAna उवङ्स्थान". That means those nounbases that are sometimes replaced with /iyaG /uvaG, and is a short way of saying "those nounbases mentioned in rule aciznudhAt...".
