Commentary
The words having the form of दा 'to give' and धा 'to place' are called घु।
This defines the word ghu. Four verbs have the form of दा, or assume it by the application of 6.1.45, and two, of धा; they are called घु. The ghu verbs have certain peculiarities of conjugation to be described hereafter.
The घु verbs are the following:- डुदाञ् "to give," as प्रणिददाति; दाण् "to give," as, प्रणिदाता; दो "to cut," as, प्रणिद्यति; देङ् "to pity" as, प्रणिदयते, डुधाञ् "to place" as प्रणिदधाति, धेट् to "feed" as, प्रणिधयति.
In the above examples, because of the verbs being घु, the न of प्रनि is changed into ण by 8.4.17.
Similarly दाप् "to cut" and दैप् "to clean" not being called घु, rules 7.4.46 and 7.4.47 do not apply to them. Thus दा+क्त = दातं 'what is cut,' as, दातं बर्हिः. So also अवदातं "washed" as, अवदातं मुखं "a bright face." But with दा "to give," &c. दा+क्त = दद्+त 7.4.46 = दत्तः "given;" so also we have प्र+दा+क्त = प्रत्तम् 7.4.47. The word घु occurs in sûtra 6.4.66, &c. The word dåp includes also daip by the paribhâshâ given under 3.4.19, ऐ changed into आ by 6.1.45.
