Commentary
आम् is optionally affixed when लिट् (Perfect Tense) follows after these verbs - भी 'to fear', ह्री 'to be ashamed', भृ 'to nourish', हु 'to sacrifice' and when आम् is affixed, the effect is as if there were श्लु elision and the roots belonged to ह्वादि class.
The effect of श्लु is to cause reduplication by rule 6.1.10. As विभयाञ्चकार or विभाय, जिह्रवाञ्चकार or जिह्राय, विभराञ्चकार or बभार, जुहवाञ्चकार or जुहाव.
