Commentary
After the word यस्क etc. there is the लुक् elision of the गोत्र affix when the word of itself and not as part of a compound epithet dependent on another word, takes the plural; but not in the feminine.
यस्क + अण् = यास्कः 'a descendent of Yaska not nearer than grandson.' In the plural, the affix is elided and the form is यस्काः 'the decendents of Yaska.'
