Commentary
The affix अञ् comes after a stem ending in a उ or ऊ (in the four-fold senses given above).
This of course debars the universal affix अण् 4.1.83. Thus आरडवम् from अरडु 'a tribe of Kshatriyas'; काक्षतवम् from कक्षतु, and कार्कटेलवम् from कर्कटेलू ॥ But from इक्षु we have इक्षुमती 'the river lkshumati, named after the sugarcanes near it'. Here we add the affix मतुप् taught in the subsequent sutra 4.2.85, which debars अञ् by the rule of a subsequent debarring the prior when both are of equal force (1.4. 2). The affix अञ् governs the six sutras upto 4.2.77. The difference betweenअञ् and अण् consists in the accent.
