1.4.3

यू स्त्र्याख्यौ नदी

लघुसिद्धान्तकौमुदी 193 · प्रकरण 5, which opens at अर्थवदधातुरप्रत्ययः प्रातिपदिकम् · rule 79 of 100 in it

a feminine stem ending in long ई or ऊ is called नदी

A stem ending in a long ई or ऊ (यू names these two vowels), when it names a feminine (स्त्र्याख्या), is termed नदी — literally "river", after the model word नदी. The नदी name gives such stems their own set of case endings, the ones with a ङित् marker. The present participle लिखन्ती "writing (she)" ends in long ई and names a feminine, so it is a नदी and declines by that pattern: संसर्पन्त्याः "of her who glides along".
