talkaround, valid down to kAnAmreDi. The next rules replace wordfinals with ru. This rule clarifies that, if we so choose, the vowel before the ru becomes nasalized.

anunAsikAt paro 'nusvAraH ONPANINI 83004
But when not nasalizing the vowel, add M after it.mmmmmmmmm ^ C+ 1017

The previous rule says that we may choose to nasalize certain vowels. This one says that, if we choose to not nasalize, then we must add an M sound afterwards.

Example. Rule nazchavya below turns tAn + te into tA + ru + te (not into tAMs -- see Accurate translation of nazchavya ).

But the rule above says that we may choose to replace tA + ru + te with tA~ + ru + te (with nasalized A~ ) instead.

And this rule says that if we don't make the rule above work, then we must replace tA + ru + te with tAM + ru + te.

Either way, the ru will become s by kharava and visarjanIyasyasaH. So we may say either tA~ste or tAMste.

Translating together this rule and the previous rule, we get the talkaround --

" When the next rules replace with ru, we have to either nasalize the vowel that is before the ru or add M after it. "

Notice that the wording of the original rule is wrong. It should have been an-anunAsikAt paro 'nusvAraH. In my view, the an was eaten by a bookworm at some point, or succumbed to haplology.

KAZIKA anyazabdo 'trAdhyAhartavyaH. tadapekSayA ceyam anunAsikAtiti paJcamI. anunAsikAdanyo yo varNaH roH pUrvaH, yasya anunAsikaH na kRtaH, tataH paro 'nusvAra AgamaH bhavati.

samaH suTi ONPANINI 83005
sam to ( ru ) before s(uT).mmmmmmmmm ^ C+ 1018

Because of atrAnu and anunAsikAt, this is rule means --

" Change sam into saMs or sa~s when it is before a root that got s in front. "

For instance, the root kR becomes skR when it means decorating.

Before this skR, if we use anunAsikAt, we replace sam with saMs, and we get --

sam + kRta- →samparyupe sam + skRta- saMs + skRta- → saMsskRta- →visarjanIyasyasaH saMskRta- "decorated"

but if we choose to use atrAnu instead, then we replace sam with sa~s --

sam + kRta- →samparyupe sam + skRta- sa~s + skRta- → sa~sskRta- → sa~skRta- "decorated"

In the two examples above, the last step was replacing ss with s. That was done by a vArttika. Even though the replacement is optional, it happens more often than not.

More examples --

saMskartR- "decorator"

saMskartum "to decorate"

saMskartavya- "must be decorated"

KAZIKA saMskartA. saMskartum. saMskartavyam.

pumaH khayy am-pare ONPANINI 83006
pum (to puMs or pu~s) before khay that is before am'.mmmmmmmmm ^ C+ 1019

This "pum" is the pums- nounbase that became wordfinal and lost s by saMyogAnta.

Example --

pums- "man" + kAmA "that wants" →saMyogAnta pum + kAmA puMskAmA "woman that wants a man"

pums- "man" + kAmA "that wants" →saMyogAnta pum + kAmA pu~skAmA "woman that wants a man"

In the first example we used anunAsikAt, and in the second one atrAnu.

This rule will not work when the khay is not before an am' letter, which is almost the same thing as saying that it will not work when the khay is before a zar. As I found no sensible examples of that anywhere yet, I just made up two nonsensible ones --

puGMkSatis "destruction of men"

punMtsarus "male sword (whatever that means)"

Of course, anusvA will work here, so please pronounce puGkSatiH, puntsarus.

Boring footnote. The original rule just says "pum to ru", but I translated "pum (to puMs or pu~s)" as, because of other rules, the ru turns into Ms or ~s. The rule that turns ru into s is visarjanIyasyasaH, which, this time, is (somehow) not overriden by kupvo.

KAZIKA puMskAmA.

The true translation of this rule is --

" Wordfinal n to ru before chav that is before am', except the n of prazAn. "

This ru will of course turn into Ms or into ~s because of anunAsikAt, atrAnu and other rules. Example using anunAsikAt replacement --

hanumAn + tiSThati hanumA + ru + tiSThati →anunAsikAt hanumA + M + ru + tiSThati →kharava hanumAMH + tiSThati →visarjanIyasyasaH hanumAMs + tiSThati "hanumAn waits"

Because the atrAnu option is seldom taken, and prazAn is not very common, and most chav are followed by an am', about ninety nine percent of the time this rule just replaces n with Ms. For examples of the uncommon situations of using atrAnu, of chav before non- am', and of prazAn, please see accurate translation of nazchavya .

nRRn pe ONPANINI 83010
( optionally) nRRn (to nRRMH) before p.mmmmmmmmm ^ C+ 1021

The word nRRn "men" is nR- + zas --

nR + zas →prathamayo nRR + s →tasmAccha nRRn

This rule says "nRRn to ru before p", which means --

"when nRRn is in saMhitA before p, replace it with nRR + ru optionally."

Afterwards, other rules will turn the ru into Ms or ~s or F.

So if we don't apply this rule, we say --

nRRnn + pAhi → nRRn pAhi "protect the men!"

and if we apply it --

nRRn + pAhi nRR + ru →anunAsikAtpa nRRMr →kharava nRRMH pAhi "protect the men!"

nRRn + pAhi nRR + ru →atrAnu nRR~r →kharava nRR~H pAhi "protect the men!"

Of course, in the last two cases we may also say nRRMF pAhi and nRR~F pAhi, by kupvoKkaFpauca.

Dho Dhe lopaH ONPANINI 83013
Delete Dh before Dh.mmmmmmmmm ^ M- C+ 1023

A Dh can only be before another Dh when h is before a t th dh affix. In that case, the h turns into Dh by hoDhaH, then the t th into dh by jhaSastatho, then dh into Dh by STunA, and we have Dh before Dh now. Then the first Dh disappears by this rule, and, finally, the vowel before it lengthens by Dhralope if possible. Examples --

guh + kta →hoDhaH guDh + ta →jhaSastatho guDh + dha →STunA guDh + Dha gu + Dha →Dhralope gUDha- "hidden, concealed, kept secret"

So, if you want, you may translate this rule as "h merges with t th dh into Dh, and the previous vowel lengthens". As in --

lih + laT tha lIDha "y'all suck"

lih + laG dhvam alIDhvam "y'all licked"

lih + luT tas → lih + tArau →hardsoft leh + tArau leDhArau "both will lick"

The observant student will have noticed that 84041 STunA worked before this rule, which is at 83013, so we breached the cantgoback principle. We know that we have to breach it because, otherwise, this rule could never work.

ro ri ONPANINI 83014

Example:

gaus + ramate →sasaju gaur + ramate gau ramate "the cow's having fun"

kukkuTIs + rakSati kukkuTI rakSati "protects the hens"

If the r is after a i u, Dhralope lengthens them --

punar + ramate puna ramate →Dhralope punA ramate "has fun again"

kapir + ramate kapi ramate →Dhralope kapI ramate "monkey has fun"

khar;avasAnayor visarjanIyaH ONPANINI 83015
( wordfinal r to) H before khar and pause.mmmmmmmmm ^ M+ C+ 1025 sandhi

This rule replaces all r with H. It replaces both the true r (of words like punar gIr pitar), and the r(u) made by sasaju.

Examples before kh --

punar + khadati punaH + khadati → punaH khadati "eats again"

hayas + khadati →sasaju haya + ru + khadati hayaH khadati "horse eats"

hayas + khadati →sasaju haya + ru + khadati hayaH khadati →kupvoKkaFpauca hayaK khadati "horse eats"

Example before pause --

khadati + hayas + @pause →sasaju khadati + haya + ru khadati hayaH "horse eats"

Example before chav --

hayas + tarati →sasaju haya + ru + tarati hayaH tarati →visarjanIyasyasaH hayastarati "horse crosses"

Example before zar --

rAmas + sIdati →sasaju rAma + ru + sIdati rAmaH sIdati →vAzari rAmasH sIdati "rAma is sitting"

In the last example, even though the H sound has been replaced with an s sound, rAmasHsIdati is still written rAmaHsIdati. See spelling of zz SS ss .

roH supi ONPANINI 83016
True r stays before sup'.mmmmmmmmm ^ M- C+ 1026

Exception to kharava. kharava ordinarily changes all wordfinal r, both ru and true r. Yet, before sup', kharava will change ru, but true r will stay.

Example. kharava will not work on gir + sup', because the r of gir is a true r, not a ru --

gir- + sup' →svAdiSva gir ( word ) + su →rvoru gIr + su gIrsu →kric gIrSu "in speeches"

After the ru from manas- barhis- etc, kharava will work as usual.

bho;bhago;agho;apUrvasya yo 'zi ONPANINI 83017
ru from As as bhos bhagos aghos to y before az.mmmmmmmmm ^ M+ C+ 1027

This rule has several effects --

(1) wordfinal as almost always loses s before all vowels except a --

arjunas + uvAca →sasaju arjuna + ru + uvAca arjunay uvAca →lopazzA arjuna:: uvAca "arjuna said"

(2) bhos bhagos aghos and wordfinal As almost always lose s before all vowels including a --

azvAs + IkSante →sasaju azvA + ru + IkSate azvAy IkSante →lopazzA azvA:: IkSante "the horses see"

(3) bhos bhagos aghos and wordfinal As lose s before haz --

azvAs + dravanti →sasaju azvA + ru + dravanti azvAy dravanti →halisarveSAm azvA dravanti "horses run"

This rule is very annoying for beginners, because whenever we hear a wordfinal A in saMhitA before a haz (a very common situation), there is no way of telling if the word truly ended in A, or it ended in As and lost s by this rule. For instance, this bhavatI- + Gas = bhavatyAs is a word that ends in As and loses s by this rule --

bhavatyAs + nAma kim bhavatyA nAma kim "what's your name?"

and this bhavatI- + TA = bhavatyA is a word that truly ends in A --

bhavatyA + dRSTaGM kim → bhavatyA dRSTaGM kim "what did you see?"

This rule won't work if atoro can work --

azvas + adravat →atoro azvo 'dravat "horse ran"

The y won't disappear if it is before a vowel and we make the optional rule vyorlaghu work --

azvAs + IkSante → azvayIkSante (with a lighter-effort y)

but you won't ever find that in print; that is always spelled as azvA IkSante, with a hiatus.

Some people (like me) think that rule lopazzA is optional and therefore saying arjunayuvAca and azvayIkSante with an ordinary y is kosher. Be they kosher or not, you will hear those two, but you will never see them in print.

v;yor laghu-prayatna-taraH zAkaTAyanasya ONPANINI 83018
wordfinal v y to lighter-effort v y optionally.mmmmmmmmm ^ C+ 1028

When saying a normal y, the tongue raises, when saying v the lips approach each other. This movement takes some effort.

In a lighter-effort y v, the tongue raises, the lips approach too, but not so much.

This rule says that when wordfinal y v is before a vowel, we may pronounce it either as a normal y or as a lighter-effort y.

Together with the option "replace y with nothing" allowed by lopazzA, we can say te + Ucus "they said" in three ways --

(A) tayUcuH, with normal y, just by ecoya.

(B) ta(y)UcuH, with lighter-effort y, by ecoya and vyorlaghu .

(C) ta::UcuH, with hiatus, by ecoya and lopazzA.

In writing you will find (C) only, but both (A) and (C) are heard often.

Some people say that the word zAkaTAyanasya is used pUjArtham here, and that therefore pronouncing like (A) sux. To get in the safe side of those people, please use only (C) in writing. But pronounce as you like, anyway; no one will complain.

The rule also works on the y made from ru by bhobhago. So --

arjunayuvAca with bhobhago only

arjuna(y)uvAca with bhobhago and this rule

arjuna::uvAca with bhobhago and lopazzA

Only the third option is found in print, but the others are heard sometimes.

In other words, the wordfinal y v that is in saMhitA and between two vowels disappears, so that the two vowels turn into a hiatus, with no pause in between. Example --

The kAzikA says that this rule is optional, so we can say also --

Yet, some people say that the mention of the grammarian zAkalya is pUjArtham and therefore the rule is compulsory.

No matter who is right in this debate, remember that you will hear people chanting arjunayuvAca, but you will never see that in print. It is always spelled arjuna uvAca.

This rule also deletes the s of the bhos bhagos aghos etc mentioned in rule bhobhago --

tAn + zarAn tAnt zarAn →stozz tAnc zarAn →zazchoTi tAnc charAn → tAJccharAn "those arrows"

In the last case, we may apply optional rule jharojhari too --

tAn + zarAn tAJccharAn →jharojhari tAJcharAn "those arrows"

NOTE ON SPELLING. Usually, when sandhi rules allow several options, only one of them is found in writing. In this case, however, all of Jch Jz Jcch appear in writing (and sometimes you will find even nz, which sux). Personally I always spell tAJcharAn and say tAJccharAn. But you don't have to do as I do.

Notice that the rule adds t at the end of tAn, not at the start of zarAn. That's because, had the rule added dh(uT) to the z of zAran, rule zazchoTi would not have worked. In spite of that, when you use Roman letters, spelling tAJ ccharAn is fine, even though the c technically belongs to the first word.

Gamo hrasvAd aci GamuN@ nityam ONPANINI 83032
( wordfinal) Gam doubles after short before vowel.mmmmmmmmm ^ M- C+ 1038

The Gam letters are Ga Na nam -- G, N and n.

Examples with n are common --

prahasan + iva prahasann iva "smiling"

kurvan + api kurvann api "even when doing"

Examples with G are rare, because very few words end in G --

dadhyaG + AtharvaNaH dadhyaGG AtharvaNaH "dadhyaG, son of atharvan"

The G here comes from rule kvinpra, like in prAG.

Examples with N are never found in the wild, as no word ends in N unless it has been invented by grammarians. One such word is yaN, meaning the four letters ya va raT laN. So when yaN is before a vowel, we would have, according to this rule --

yaN + aci yaNNaci " a yaN letter before a vowel"

However, we don't hear that doubling in the recitation of rule ikoyaNaci. From that lack of doubling we can deduce that the doubling of N by this rule is optional, while the doubling of n and G is compulsory.
