 If a word commencing with any of the five hard letters & ~& *** Q >, be pieceded by another included in the class termed ^^e^^iS^^bew drootupru- i krootooloo, both permutation and insertion of letters invariably take place ; but if the latter word begin with any other consonant, there is insertion only, and it is optional*

When a word included in the &j & &i3^&)Vd drootuprukrootooloo precedes another word commencing with any of the five hard letters $ '%> & C" So, it and if it end in 9 or ,3. it is requisite to insert between the two words, or ?& if it terminate in any other letter ; but if it already end in $ or ( . j&, these terminations cannot again be affixed, for the repetition would be monotonous : at the same time, if the i&> i *$&i ^>ex> drootuprukrootooloo'end in a short vowel, either o or C may be substituted for the or &>, but only c if it termi- nate in a long vowel; thus, ~&$v (the accusative plural of ~&& God) deprived, for the sake of example, of all it's drootuprukrootica affixes, antf I served, make ^^W^^8>Rl or ~sT#e;o^>-a8 between the two words, or in consequence of the 'o i n IzsS&i o being short, substituting either o or C for &>.
 * * invariably changes these characters respectively, into the soft letters X K & w,

Any of the ^^^drootuprukrootooloo preceding a word commencing with a consonant different from the five hard letters, without causing permutation, may at option affix 8 if it end in. 9 5 or ^1, or f& if it end ii any other vowel ; but if it already terminates in or & these affixes are not again to be added, because the repetition would be monotonous: either  3& S- ^ & $ & f in place of R) or ^^ w


 * r is converted into X- rf into a - fc, into ^ . tf into g and So into W, but, as befor observed of another rule, the reverse of these changes does not 'hold good.
