पाद् “foot” becomes पद् before the weak vowel-initial endings

In the भ cases — the weak oblique endings that begin with a vowel — the stem पाद् “foot” is replaced by पद्. सुपाद् “sure-footed” gives सुपदः, सुपदाम्; it is the same shortening that stands behind पद्भ्याम् beside पादौ. The consonant-final masculine declension carries this step on its exemplar सुपाद्, and the block reaches it through सुहृदाम् (1.40), declined on that pattern.
