tRjvat kroSTuH

तृज्वत्क्रोष्टुः ONPANINI 71095

**kroSTu- क्रोष्टुॱ is /tRc-like (before strong, except the /sambuddhi).

The base !**kroSTu- क्रोष्टुॱ means "jackal" (mostly the Canis aureus indicus).

**kroSTu- क्रोष्टुॱ + /au
→ kroSTR- क्रोष्टृॱ + /au by this rule
→ kroSTar- क्रोष्टर् + /au by RtoGisarv...
→ !**kroSTArau क्रोष्टारौ by aptRntRcsvas...

**kroSTu- क्रोष्टुॱ + /su
→ kroSTR- क्रोष्टृॱ + /su by this rule
→ !**kroSTA क्रोष्टा, same steps as **pitA पिता

But when not strong —

**kroSTu- क्रोष्टुॱ + /zas → !**kroSTUn क्रोष्टून्

Why do we say "except before the /sambuddhi"?

he kroSTo हे क्रोष्टो

No, I mean, who the hell is going to address a coyote in classical Sanskrit?

Coyotes talk in fables. Also when you get a mescaline high (watch). Sometimes they address you in Nahuatl, if you get Sanskrit you are lucky.
