न भू-सुधियोः

Pāṇini leaves out words that carry over from earlier sūtras. Expand to see the rule as a reader actually understands it.

Commentary

The semi-vowel substitution does not take place in the case of अङ्ग (stems) ending in भू or the word सुधी before affixes beginning with a vowel.
Thus प्रतिभु - प्रतिभुवौ, प्रतिभुवः; सुधी - सुधियौ, सुधियः ॥ 6.4.77.
