Commentary

The final ओ of a particle is a प्रगृह्य।
This sútra consists of one word ओत् the final त् is a surplusage. The words "pragrihya" and "nipåta" are to be supplied from the preceding sutras to complete the sense. The meaning is that those particles which end in ओ though consisting of several letters, are pragrihya. As अहो अपेहि "Halloo, go away."
