6.4.69

न ल्यपि

Laghu-siddhāntakaumudī does not carry this rule. It stands in the Aṣṭādhyāyī at 6.4.69, and the abridgement is 1,269 of Pāṇini's 3,983 rules — so this is a place where the poem runs past the textbook.

the final आ is not turned to ई before ल्यप्

The final आ of the घु roots (दा, धा) and of मा, स्था, गा, पा, जहाति and सा becomes ई before a consonant-initial ārdhadhātuka affix by the rule before this one; न ल्यपि withholds that ई before ल्यप्, the prefixed absolutive -य. So आ + दा + य keeps its आ and gives आदाय "having taken", not the ī-form. The derivation names the rule on the silent step where the ई substitution is withheld. This rule stands outside the Laghu-siddhāntakaumudī abridgement.

• Aṣṭādhyāyī — 6.4.69 न ल्यपि
