@why Gicca

Why does rule yAsuTparasm... bother to say that the flat /liG are /Git, when we know by rule sthAnivadAd... that all /liG replacements must be /Git? The words Gicca ङिच्च en the rule serve no purpose.

You got your logic backwards. The basic principle "nothing in the sUtras can have no purpose" tells us that everything that appears to serve no purpose must serve some purpose.

Actually, this Gicca ङिच्च must be interpreted to mean "The replacements of Git tenses are usually not /Git iso sthAnivadAd..., they are /Git only when they replace a flat /liG."

This is an example of /jJApaka.
