Commentary
The initial ल् and श् and the gutturals of all affixes, except , तद्धित are indicatory.
The initial ल्, श्, क्, ख्, ग्, घ्, ङ्, of affixes are indicatory, except in Taddhita affixes. Thus the initial ल् in ल्युट is इत् 3.3.115 ल्यट्च)। चि +ल्युट् = चयनम् 7.1.1 'collecting.' The initial श् in शप् is इत् (III.1.68. कर्तरि शप्) भू + शप् + तिप् = भो + अ + ति = 'he is.' The initial क् is इत् as in क्त and क्तवतु 1.1.26, as भुक्तः 'eating' भुक्तवान्. The initial ख् is इत् as in खच् 3.2.38 प्रियवशे वदः खच्) the word वद takes the affix khach when compounded with प्रिय and वश्) प्रियंवदः 'speaking kindly'. वशंवदः 'submissive.' The initial ग् is इत् as in the affix ग्स्नु 2.2.13 ग्लाजिस्थश्च ग्स्नु), ग्लास्नुः 'languid', जिष्णुः 'victorious,' स्थास्नुः 'unmoveable.' The initial घ् is इत् as in घुरच् 3.2.161 भञ्जभासभिदो घुरच्) भञ्ज + घुरच् = भङ्गुरम् 'brittle.' The initial ङ् is इत्, as in ङसि (termination of the ablative sing.) ङस् ditto of genitive sing. 4.1.2, as सुमनस् + ङस् = सुमनस् + अस् = सुमनसः 'of a well minded.' In Taddhitta affixes however, these initials ल्, श् and gutturals are not इत्; and are therefore not elided. Thus चूडा + लच् = चूडालः 5.2.96 प्राणिस्थादातो लजन्यतरस्याम्). 'crested'; लोम + श = लोमशः 5.2.100 लोमादिपामादिपिच्छादिभ्यः शनेलच्) 'hairy;' वृक्ष + कन् = वृक्षकः 5.3.81 - 5.3.86 जातिनाम्नः कन्) 'a small tree.'
