Commentary
The acute accent is optionally on the first syllables of त्याग , राग , हास , कुह , श्वठ , and क्रथ।
Thus त्या꣡गः or त्यागः꣡, रा꣡गः, रागः꣡, हा꣡सः, हासः꣡ ॥ These are formed by घञ् affix and by 6.1.159 would take acute on the final, this ordains acute on the first syllable also. कु꣡हः or कुहः꣡, श्व꣡ठः or श्वठः, क्रथः॒ or क्र॒थः formed by अच् 3.1.13.
