Commentary

स्य the sign of Future and Conditional gets the augment इट् after a root ending in short ऋ and after हन् 'to kill'.
As करिष्यति, हनिष्यति, हरिष्यति ॥ The root स्वृ takes always इट् before स्य, though it does so optionally before other affixes (see 7.2.44): as स्वरिष्यति ॥ Similarly अकरिष्यत्, अहरिष्यत्, अहनिष्यत् &c ॥
